deporting ALL illegals would create a huge vaccum in all sectors of society in the US. thats unreasonable, unfeasible, economically disastrous, fiscally ridiculous. that wont happen.
all of those! i think it is a great poll to see where americans stand on the issue and i only wish that we could get the legislators to see how we feel.
This is one of those questions that seem simple but really aren't. Like someone else said, magically it could work. Realistically it probably won't help as much as people think. More money would have to be spent on deporting..and keeping people from coming back..than we currently spend. I don't know what the offset would be.
additionally, how much worse would that make the real estate/housing business. are people from outlying areas going to flock back into urban areas once inhabitted by the deported illegals?
we would have an abundance of empty/foreclosed homes.
and thats just one angle.
mass deportation wont work.
a slower extended account and vetting of these people would be possible. but as one fell swoop, no.

While you are whinning about foreigners taking these jobs, remember who made the decision to get rid of the American employees and hire cheaper foreign labor. What is the nationality of the deciders? What is the nationality of the people who benefited materially from this decision? These people are called Americans.
True, and if they're in jail for facilitating illegal labor they can spend some time rethinking the meaning of "profit."

I voted that it would help. If you really want to live in a better country lets rid ourselves of the biggest white elephant of all, NASA
Without NASA we could fund free healthcare for every man woman and child in this country with no co-pays. Even enough to cover cosmetic surgery to anyone who wanted boobs or a flat tummy or a smaller nose. There would still be enough left over to make damn sure that no man, woman or child in America would ever go hungry or homeless ever again. There still would be more left over to send any American to college who wanted to further their education at no cost to the student.

But I do agree with you.
