A recession is WELL worth the price to be paid if it means the long term stability of the nation. If you want to see the future of the US if this is not stopped, just look at the change that has taken place in California. What was once a moderate-conservative state that despite the fact it had many unionized industrial workers, went GOP in 9 out of 10 presidential elections between 1952 to 1988 to being a solidly Democratic state that even has trouble electing RINOs to statewide positions. Immigration is what led this political change.
The US is FAR more than just an market economy, and what is good for short term economic gains is often not good for the nation as a whole.
I don't disagree with that statement. However, causing a recession will not fix the problem, and will seriously harm the Americans taht are competing with the illegal immigrants for jobs. They will get hit hardest by a recession.
It is not necessary to cause a recession to address this problem.

Sorry but I don't believe the evidence is there to support that statement. The liberal leadership has definately embraced the illegal immigrant population. However, the liberal buying of the urban poor though entitlements and the media's attacks on conservative values have had much more to do with the spread of liberalism.
Elitism among the rich has also spread liberalism through California.
We don't need immigrants to have the poor and the elitists. liberal socialism does a fine job of creating both without immigration.
