Rattled by changing demographics, Americans have complained for decades that they want less immigration from Mexico. In a few years, as chores go undone and prices go up, they’ll be complaining that they want more.
It was the Mexicans that supplied the workforce for the housing boom, it will happen again.

Your agreement with Naverettes last paragraph is but speculation. If it was the Mexicans that supplied the workforce (assuming as you claimed) can we also assume it was the Mexicans that reduced wages on the other employees? Thus due to lower wages, reducing tax revenue, reducing the ability to make it to the middle class, etc, etc, etc.?
Don't forget, for every action there is a reaction.

Chicken or egg... many say it was the availability of low cost labor that fueled the boom.
Never-the-less, it was a boom and Americans definitely benefited from Mexicans being here to work.

Many say it was low cost gov't loans and federal loan guarantees that fueled the housing boom and lead to the bubble bursting. The same is shown in Ireland, China, Europe, yet I'll bet the illegal labor they used there (very little if any at all) had the effects as you claim they had here.
Which Americans benefited? Not the working class as there is no definitive proof that the money the builder saved on wages was a contributing factor in lowering the cost of a house.
You have not shown or proven that Americans definitely benefited from Mexicans being here to work, this is but your assertion and opinion.

The millions that built, sold and flipped houses benefited.
Yes it is an opinion, do you have an opposing view otherwise supported? Mr. Lawyer...

Mr. Lawyer?
I agree, the people that hired them benefited, while the rest of the population paid for them. I gave my opposing view above: Many say it was low cost gov't loans and federal loan guarantees that fueled the housing boom and lead to the bubble bursting.

No country's citizens in the world wants their demographics changed via illegal immigration. What part of that aren't you getting? Would Mexico welcome a demographic shift in their country by an invasion of millions of Chinese? You won't answer that though, will you?
Illegal Mexicans took over the construction industry and forced Americans out of their jobs and you're ok with that?
