Our economy would go into the dumpers if they closed the borders. You just don't get it. A cheap supply of labor to do things that US citizens won't do.
Did you forget your sarcasm tag?
And exactly what jobs are those? I have personally helped harvest fields of corn, potatos, beans, and tomatoes. I have done janitorial duties as well as stocked shelves. I have done carpentry as well as concrete forms. Today, I am a software architect / CTO (don't get me started on H1Bs). Exactly what type of labor are Americans too lazy to do?
Thing is, when I hear these statements, I realize that its not that Americans won't do the work... it's that the person making the statement wouldn't want to do the work. There is a big difference.
In the end, this position is supported by elitists looking to further their own position by elevating themselves above the 'great unwashed.'
Next thing we'll start hearing is how farmers are like buggy-whips....
I suppose the tax money spent on their health care, education, incarceration, judicial system, etc means nothing to you.
Your full of it. Some of us are not going to wait until the US tanks and is overrun.
You obviously are not from a border state.
Read this before you start saying stupid things.

Yeah, your right, a whole generation of American Construction workers might have to quit eating unrefined American food, lose weight, and go back to work with a wage they could live on if we closed our southern border. Now, what has this got to do with the Iranians? nothing.
They would do it for two dollars an hour more. Hell. who do you think used to do these jobs?
If we hadn't aborted 40 million babies we'd have the people to do those jobs.
