If we successfully deport all illegals would this essentially make unemployment nonexistent?

From immigrants, there is an estimated $2.2 trillion per year added to U.S. GDP, 96% of which is not sent out of the country. From illegal immigrants, estimated at 11 million, down from over 12 million in 2007, there is a very large positive net economic impact. Texas did a study years back that indicated that illegal immigrants paid in about $400 million more in state revenue than they were given, and overall deporting the 1.4 million of them at the time in 2006 would have cost the state $17.7 billion in economic activity.

An economy is a little more complex than that. And the U.S. economy would crash if all "illegals" were deported...likely resulting in a great deal more unemployment.

A model by the independent Peterson Institute for International Economics shows prices would rise by about 9%, while U.S. production and employment would fall.

don't blame me i didn't vote wrote:

And wouldn't this fix the wages in this country? I lean economically left, but the more i think about this the better i think this could turn out for the lower class as the fat cats can't just exploit illegals for low wages anymore.

So Kamala’s reason for wanting to give incarcerated illegal immigrants free transgender surgeries was to keep surgeons employed? Makes sense.

Yes they are exploited by the business pigs. Some under the table stuff going on too, which makes the owners more money. They are not bound to the labor regulations or workers' rights, always non union. Labor board is just there for show, not enforcement. The owners use immigrant workers to deceptively prop themselves up as social justice warriors too. Modern day slave trade, really.

This.

It's so basic and so obvious. Immigrants (legal and illegal) have contributed to our economic growth.

Who will take their place in agriculture? Construction? Service industry? All these fields will not be able to meet demand so prices will go up and less will be available. We can get some of the produce shipped in, oh but with tariffs right?

We went to Penn but there is a reason why every professor there told him his economic plan is idiotic.
