Why did you stop thinking at Step One?
Remove 20 million illegal aliens from America and poof away go all the federal jobs that currently are in place providing them with federal services. I'd guess it probably numbers close to a million federal employees. I'll trade those for ICE agents any day of the week!
Depending upon which state you live in, again, poof away go police officers, probation officers, judges, court clerks, prison guards, translators in every state, count and city office there is in existence, teachers, clerks at the Dept of Motor Vehicles or what ever the name is in your state, welfare clerks, and you-name-it positions in every other agency that we have now to try for some resemblance of order. I am sure every department will reduce their staffing costs by some percentage. Some more than others certainly.
When was the last time your property taxes were reduced because they didn't need that much money to fund the offices?

Actually, they're almost all state and local employees. And they will be moved into other work that is equally useless.

Just as the Bureau of Prohibition withered away and disappeared after Prohibition was repealed, right?
The current name of the Bureau of Prohibition is the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE).
That is the model for what happens: the allegedly useless bodies are reorganized, moved around, and assigned to "new roles and missions."
"When was the last time your property taxes were reduced because they didn't need that much money to fund the offices?"
Never. And they never will be, either, unless you actually reduce taxes and mandate firing government employees.
