Why don’t you trust the economic system to work? If no one will do the job, the price the employers pay for those jobs will increase until people are enticed to work or someone will come up with a device that will do the work without people.

If the cost becomes so high no customer will pay, then that work will no longer need to be done.

All of you who say we have to have illegals here are actually saying you are willing to give up American sovereignty for a buck. This is the United States a sovereign nation and we have laws that need to be enforced and obeyed.

Ok, for the sake of arguement, let’s explore your premise.

What wage do you estimate will be necessary to entice the unskilled blacks and whites who are now quite used to the government feeding, housing and supplying them with cash through a million programs? $10, $20 an hour? $10 probably won’t start.

Now explain the economics of basic low/un-skilled labor @ $20 an hour. Right now as a bonefide wage earner in a moderate skill job, its unlikely you’ll make no more than $15 an hour and a skilled Technician, like Electrician at around $20 an hour. If the unskilled lowlifes now get $15 to $20 an hour to get them off their ass, your same $15 to $20 skilled now must be double or its not worth your trouble. Your car is now $60K or more for what you bought in 2010 for $28K. Your home now buys for $450K to $600K. The hamburger and fries last week cost you $7 will then run you $20, and a gallon of milk $20.

Point being, that level of inflation is not sustainable, because it is bottom driven. Unless you want to give up a LOT, the only alternative is either immediately terminate all welfare forcing them to get a job for Minimum Wage, or import workers willing to take less. Which is more likely?
