Remove the illegals and the wages will go up.

And with them, prices.

Not so at all. Supply and demand create an equilibrium. We don't currently have that.

Just because wages go up doesn't mean that prices will. The two do not always go hand in hand. Prices for a lot of things haven't dropped or even remained the same due to the influx of illegals doing those jobs so there's no reason to think that the market won't adjust itself the same way when they are gone.

Just another typical money before country reply.

"And with them, prices."

When you put it that way that is troubling. If illegals stopped entering this country illegally and business owners were not able to afford to pay American workers increased wages what would happen to the economy ? I wonder what percentage of US businesses have illegal aliens as the majority of their workforce ? What a mess !

"And with them, prices."

A re-adjustment of pricing for certain products whose price is artificially high or low is healthy for any economy. When market forces are poisoned by an outside influence (such as government regulation or ultra-cheap labor), they will inevitably either shrug off the outside influence or crash and burn.

Prices would likely go up by a small percentage.

That's OK, the drop in hidden cost for welfare, schooling for illegals kids, ER visits, prison cells, etc. will more than make up for any increase in prices due to mere wages!
