Illegals - what would happen...

[K. Roman]

If we got rid of all illegals. I'd like to hear some opinions on this. Don't just give me "we'd have less crime! We'd spend less tax dollars!" I want to hear what would actually happen in the US. Anyone? Byron?

our high school kids would finally get jobs

And all the 20 ~ 30+ something slackers still living at home with mommy/daddy would suddenly be motivated to get jobs, if there were all those openings.

All Mexican food would taste like Taco Bell.

This was discussed for what seemed like hundreds of posts, back about a year ago. I recall there was some good stuff in those threads, might search them.

We in California wouldn't have to have UNINSURED Motorist coverage.
Our Emergency rooms wouldn't have hour plus waits

Just a couple off the top of my head

My temporary employment would become a lot more difficult. That Mexican knows his automotive a/c. My summer spanish class would be harder too.

We'd probably have enough money saved from social services that we could actually expand the public education system.

Can't wait to hear what the bleeding heart "they just want a better life" crowd has to say.

We still have the recipes.

Would our economy be affected for good or bad?

[Az911]

Public schools would be less crowed and there wouldn't be the need to print everything in English and Spanish.

I think every legal Mexican I know can cook, I don't see a problem with getting good food.

First thing I thought of too!

Tyson Chicken might go under, but that wouldn't bother me.

[K. Roman]

What parents here have kids applying for jobs picking lettuce? Or working as someones maid?

Just wondering, I don't think anyone wants their kid picking fruit, veggies, etc...But could be wrong.

You guys can't seriously believe everything that you are writing can you? While illegal immigration is bad, if they all vanished tomorrow we would have an extreme shortage of workers. I don't know any high school students who have trouble getting jobs and I don't know anyone that is pining to replace the illegals in a lot of the positions that they currently hold.

As I would end up being on the other side of the border,

1. My porsche would not driven for 4-5 weeks.
2. I would get to have my long overdue vacation.
3. It would cost me another $X,000.00 to pay the Lobo.
4. After #3, it would be the same cycle all over again.

The crime rate would plummet in many areas.

I dunno...my neighbor's kid is 22. Sits at home all day playing video games or riding his dirt-bike. Lives off mom/dad as far as I can see. I can only assume he's in this predicament due to the fact there are no jobs...? I'm sure once the newspapers are 3" thick with "help wanted" ads, he'll get off the couch and do something.
