Simple question, would kicking all illegals out of our country would that cause an economic boom? Washington Post ArticleJobs in: Construction Landscaping Production Farming All of these jobs were high paying jobs and enable the creation of small business's and competitive wages. So, i ask again, would kicking illegals out cause an economic boom? My reasoning is that those jobs are jobs that would go to people born in this country normally without a mass migration of tens of millions of people in short periods of time. At what point do we need to put a stop to this? |

They are all just the modern equivalent of slaves. The slave trade is alive and well! Yes,I know, they do get paid but at a much reduced wage. Yes, things would pick up as more jobs would be available at the bottom if you will and that is one hell of a lot of jobs.  |

With the jobs you mentioned, maybe? The one area we would suffering is harvesting crops, which is hugely tied to agriculture industry and our tables. Time and time again those specific jobs are not filled by unemployed workers because they can't or won't handle it. Can't say I blame them, picking fruit and veg for 10-12 hours a day for minimum wage jet won't appeal to enough workers to fill the bill, imho. I could be wrong but this is my impression.. The Atlantic NewsDare I say US farmers depend on illegals working the fields? Now the construction and landscaping, yes illegals do sometimes hurt the industry, and I have seen it. Business owners seek the lowest wage earners though so often and these guys will take any offer! How can you beat that from the owner's perspective and how can you compete with that as a skilled worker whip deserves more than minimum wage? Should they hire legal citizens? Sure but they don't enough and thus hold some responsibility. Maybe a 'job' boom would be more appropriate in the mentioned labor industries. The agriculture industry would suffer the most and then so would we at the cash register in the supermarket. |

So, i ask again, would kicking illegals out cause an economic boom? The farmers that employ these people would have to pay you higher wages and then then theres w-2, insurance, etc. They would find a way to get those "illegal" slaves back across the border hey, just like they do right now. |

We are all the modern equivalent of slaves, all indentured, all chattel, all formed as debt product for trade by the banksters. I do agree that throwing out all the illegals in the US and Canada would give rise to temporary increases in jobs. But if you want real increases, cancel the free trade agreements and bring manufacturing back home, rein in the politicians and intelligence community (NSA/DHS/TSA), remove corporate/government revolving door policies/activity, make lobbying illegal and dissolve the central bank (FED and BOC). Then we can start hunting down the traitors in government and try them for treason ;-)
Seems a pretty straightforward solution to me.

In the industry i work in i encounter lots of illegals. They are paid more than their american counterparts and the common reason given by employers is that the illegals are far more productive and have by far better work ethics than the average american. You will find agriculture , furniture, and construction industries would increase cost of doing business by far if illegals were kicked.

Would kicking out illegal immigrants create an economic boom?
NO.
If anything, it would cause everything pretty much everywhere to be more expensive.
Why?
Because a large portion of jobs held by these peoples are jobs that are often performed at lower wages by peoples in this demographic. As has been stated by some members, it's basically paid slave labor.
Deport all the people that are not only working these jobs at the wages they're earning; happy and willing to do so in contrast to the alternatives available in their home countries, and this creates a demand for workers, but, workers that will typically only work for higher (standardized) wages which in turn raises the prices of every service and goods in the related industry.
This is why many companies opt to open shop in foreign countries due the more cost effective and thus profitable wage requirements.
Those companies that are local, who exploit immigrants will either close shop unable or unwilling to pay higher wages, move, and/or raise prices.
In the end this does nothing to benefit any local economy and if anything does more to depress it.

The reason they pay them a little more is because they are paid in cash. No taxes no paper trail. |

That's where your wrong most pay taxes on the illegals just use a bogus ss number so that they cannot be charged with tax evasion.
