Most pick crops, wash dishes, build houses, cut lawns and do other jobs for between $6 and $15 an hour.

With the downturn in housing in most areas, a number of illegals are leaving on their own anyway. As far as cutting lawns, people can do that themselves. No one has EVER cut my lawn for me because I take too much pride in the looks of my grass and yard.

And chunks of Los Angeles and Houston would look like ghost towns.

Well, at least the barrio style areas would disappear. There are several house trailer areas that have two or three cars / pickups on cinder blocks in an area close to us, and there are no rednecks living there. All are illegals, and ICE or INS could care less. My neighbor called both and neither agency would come to even look at the area.

Although polls show that most Americans want stronger border enforcement, deporting the illegal immigrants already here is not popular. A CBS News poll found 33% of Americans favored deportation, while 62% preferred offering legal status. In a Gallup poll, 13% favored deportation and 78% favored offering citizenship. Neither John McCain nor Barack Obama leans toward deportation.

78% favored offering citizenship? In you wet dreams traitor.

the 50-70 ft palm trees where i live are being trimmed by mexican immigrants.

crazy!

no safety equipment.

sometimes they just start climbing, other times they use a crane and disembark at the furtherest extension of the crane.

i lay in my swimming pool and look up at the rich houses on the mesas and mountains and watch these guys. also, i see them at the shopping centers.

i doubt that few american whites, mexicans, asians or blacks would even do this job.

If we threw out all illegal immigrants? ......let’s see....schools would not be overcrowded, Hospitals would not be overcrowded, California’s ten most wanted would look a lot different, the streets of Los Angeles wouldn’t look like downtown Tijuana littered with trash and menudo stands on the sidewalks, what else.....uh....I wouldn’t have stand behind families who are buying their milk and eggs with foodstamps, then buying their beer, cigarettes and lotto tickets with money, ........uh....what else........my taxes would be much lower here in California because the state wouldn’t have to finance the billions and billions it takes to support these people who really hate the white man and America........and well.....there’s lots more benefits....

Snotty, well-to-do American liberals will have to pay a bit more to keep their landscapes perfectly manicured.

LOL. You cannot be so naive as to believe that it is only liberals who have illegals working on their lawns.

We seem to forget that if American employers did not knowingly illegally employ the illegals, they would not be here. That is the number one reason why they are here. They can and will be employed.

My apologies.

I thought you wrote that she DOESN’T say anything about California cities becoming ghost towns overnight.

Jawohl, mien feldmarchall! Let’s do it now, sooner the better. We have growing unemployment and now is the ideal time to get rid of the illegals. But, how do we control the miserable politicians, like Bush/McLame and the RATs who are determined to grant them amnesty? Quel dommage!

What about the fact that the June BLS figures show a 9.2% unemployment rate for blacks and 7.7% for Hispanics?

All this work could be done by people on welfare,high school kids, retired folks who need extra cash and prisoners. I don't see any problem.

What’s so funny is the oft heard claim that we can’t physically deport the tens of millions of illegals. We don’t have to. Enforce the laws and prosecute the employers and these folks deport themselves. No jobs, they leave. Ludicrously simple. But the elites in the parties don’t want to do it because they can’t bear to lose Maria taking care of the kids and Jesus taking care of the swimming pools and Jose with the lawn. Maybe if they had the harrowing experience of the past year as I have had with these people living 20 feet away from my house, they’d run them out of the country before the end of the week.

She doesnt say anything about California cities being ghosts towns over night.

Real Estate prices might finally come down to something folks can actually afford? Yeah. That would be tragic.

Threaten their employers with enough fines so that hiring illegal labor is no longer a viable economic option and they will all throw themselves out when what they came for is no longer available.

Now too give them legal status IMHO means they get full pay , full benefits, insurance etc and guess who gets too pick up that tab ? America again. Employers will pass that cost on too the consumer. Triple the cost of that lettuce , your landscaping, your home, your dinner out at a restaurant, etc etc .........

Actually, what will happen is that the employers of the newly-legals will just go out and hire a new crop of illegals who will work at half-price, and the cycle continues.

From the Desk of ...

5th Congressional District of Iowa

Biting the Hand That Feeds You
[snip]What would that May 1st look like without illegal immigration? There would be no one to smuggle across our southern border the heroin, marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines that plague the United States, reducing the U.S. supply of meth that day by 80%. The lives of 12 U.S. citizens would be saved who otherwise die a violent death at the hands of murderous illegal aliens each day. Another 13 Americans would survive who are otherwise killed each day by uninsured drunk driving illegals. Our hospital emergency rooms would not be flooded with everything from gunshot wounds, to anchor babies, to imported diseases to hangnails, giving American citizens the day off from standing in line behind illegals. Eight American children would not suffer the horror as a victim of a sex crime.

On the negative side, the price of a pound of tomatoes might go up from $0.79 to $0.80. That is unless you have a garden.
