Within 10 years we will have no use for the illegals. Robots, computers and 3D printers will do all the tasks that they do for us. Same goes for the cheap labor in China, Mexico, Bangledesh and other places.

This isn't a pro or con statement, just a straight up question thats highly relevant to the discussion here.
It's a myth that prices would go up much. We're already paying more since you have to tack on the social costs we are paying for this so-called cheap, illegal labor that their employers pass on to we the taxpayer.
