well, one logical explanation would be "trolling" ...

...But my point is that it isn't gonna happen any more than I cold step outside and fly away by flapping my arms. So why ask the question in the first place?

If illegal aliens were deported, many welfare recipients could go to work for the minimum wage. The minimum wage in CA is $8.00 per hour, which would give them an income of $1280 per month. Suppose they're getting, between welfare, housing, food stamps, and utilities, $2500 per month in aid. The government could subsidize their rent, and utilities, provide food stamps, and still come out $1220 per month ahead. One caveat would be though---No work, no welfare. As for construction, and other jobs which pay more than a minimum wage, there are men living on welfare who can do these jobs. Their families can be subsidized if their wages don't meet a minimum standard. They'll say they can't afford a baby sitter, but there's no reason some of those welfare women can't be trained, and licensed to baby sit for the others. We have a lot of people who could be doing the jobs illegal aliens do, and there's a way they can do it for the same wages.

You made your post sound as though you were except from taxes.

I think if we did deport 12 -40 million illegals the recession would quickly end.

1. Unemployment would drop to 4-5%.
2. There would be many job openings. Inflation may drop as well due to less demand on real estate as other goods & services.
3. Also City & State budgets would benefit due to less strain & demand from illegals on states like California & New York.
