Also, if you have ever lived in a country where there is virtually no immigration, especially not of the undereducated, unskilled type, you will know that all the jobs that people here seem to think "we won't do" are done by the elderly and the teens of that country. Switzerland is a prime example, and I lived there for 9 years. Sure, there are a few foreigners in the bigger cities in "those" jobs (menial ones), but throughout most of the country, you will see elderly street sweepers (with brooms!) and teens behind counters of food stands. Maids are rare and gardeners even rarer. People do their own housekeeping and grass cutting.
It would actually be a good thing if we enforced our illegal alien laws, and provide all sorts of job openings for our own teens and healthy elderly, not to mention for our many, many legal aliens.
If we passed a 187-type law, illegals would no longer be able to get all the medical and educational services we pay so dearly for, meant for our own citizens and residents.
Let Calistan serve as a warning to others.
