It is reasonable to expect that they would return to their homelands (Mexico, Guatemala, etc.) - if only we applied enough pressure to them (by more-effectively enforcing existent legislation, but also by, e.g., criminalizing the employment of illegal aliens).
To me, the left was using this as a wedge issue, and it kinda worked for them in 2018
Don't care if it's "smart" or "not smart." Let's do what's right!

That is what we assume, I have a feeling most would stay and still try to work in the black market one way or another. Handy men, house keepers, gardeners, construction, even prostitution where one can work themselves and not be “hired”.
This would still exist like it does today
I think we lost our chance of at least forming a reasonable approach to this. A right of center approach would have at least gotten something we could live with, like criminals be deported, only people with jobs/businesses are allowed to be naturalized, they must complete the naturalization process in 10 years, if not they go home, got the “dreamers” in the program as well. I mean, it wouldn’t 100% what we would want but it would be better the unfettered citizenship to anyone who promises to vote for ‘rat.
At least we could have pick and choose who could continue. What Biden wants is citizenship for them all and driver licenses and voter registration for them all as well. Plus welfare and government services.
Sometimes compromise is a good thing, sure it would not be 100% what we want, but it wouldn’t be 100% of what they want either.
