"They (illegal aliens) pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes...what happens to your country's economy if 20 million people go away?"
That's a good question – it deserves an answer. Over 80 percent of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America? The answers may surprise you!
In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupted hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominate language again.
In Colorado, 700,000 illegal migrants, plus their 200,000 kids and grand-kids – would move back "home," mostly to Mexico. That would save Coloradans an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 B) annually in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs. It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone.
Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals.
Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67 percent drop out/flunk out rate via thousands of illegal alien students speaking 85 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado. Denver's four percent unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.

Well, heck fire, if we are going to play the “What If” game...
What if we eliminated all federal minimum wage laws?
Imagine millions and millions fewer welfare recipients, imagine millions of jobs opening up for Americans, imagine all those schools and hosptial ER’s saving the money to put toward better uses
We don’t need to “send” them home: just enforce the laws requiring U.S. citizenship or legal residency in hiring, and they’ll self-deport overnight.
No job, no Jose.
And as for the economic impact: imagine an America with millions of jobs freed up for U.S. citizens?
What a wonderful day that would be.
I read here on FR that Mrs. Jeb Bush can hardly speak English.
Someone please correct me if that’s wrong.
And Juan more thing...
What would the impact on law enforcement costs be?
How many lives would be spared with the drunk Mexicans off the roads?
I’m pretty sure that the Rocky Mountain News has been out of business for several years.
I would party like it was autumn 1787!
Screw the numbers, the net financial drain, blah, blah, blah. They’re criminals living here illegally yet being rewarded by the government for doing so. We need for them to leave, regardless. Yeah, we won’t have as many maids, janitors or taco trucks, but we’ll adjust.

Think of what a boon it would be for their home countries if they went back.
So true! Imagine fat little American kids helping their overweight mom’s clean house...and also helping overweight dad mow the lawn!! Way to get those NY resolutions done.
10 years ago an e-mail went out asking for kids to mow lawns for the summer. They got three or more replies. Last year had to beg several times...and there are more kids in the neighborhood! Almost 100% have landscaping companies who cannot speak English mowing their lawns and cleaning their homes...SAD...
Only when talking about hispanics. Every Pole, German, Irish, Asian, etc I've known that have been here for more than five years speaks English. I know several hispanics that have been here for decades and I still can't understand them.
Or if 20 million Americans became unlawful citizens and quit paying taxes?
When I lived in CA and they had a “life without Mexicans” day, the only thing I noticed was it was a little harder if you wanted to eat Mexican food.
I used to teach ESL for adults and some of my students had been here for many years.
Americans will be able to do the jobs we’ve wanted to do all along?
Bring back operation wetback.
