The problem I see with your scenario is this...
(I’m not trying to be argumentative, just trying to discuss the facts)
When a business closes down...jobs are lost...not population.
What we are talking about with 20 million people leaving are jobs continuing, but people leaving.
Granted, there will be less food eaten, less cell phones, etc.
But if a large portion of those people are unemployed, all they are doing is using your money to pay for their stuff.
The reality is, if Tyson foods were to “theoretically” lose all its employs, overnight, at one plant, “theoretically” there would be enough unemployed people to replace them the next day.
Thus, “theoretically” you would instantly stop paying for others food and cell phones and housing. Freeing up YOUR money to SPEND that how and on what YOU want.
In other words, The loss of you spending $50 a month for SOMEONE ELSEs phone, is offset by you spending that same $50 a month for the BRAND NEW phone, that YOU couldn’t buy before, because you were paying for someone elses phone.
Same with food.
Not having to pay for someone else food/ food stamps, means you can order a pizza more often, or take the family to McDs more, or go on a date night more often or to a nicer place.
The money that the illegals spend, that is covered by tax payers, would just be spent by different people at other places.
I agree with everything I’m seeing in your post. I’m mostly just saying what “could” happen.
And if I may focus on this comment for a second: “The reality is, if Tyson foods were to “theoretically” lose all its employs, overnight, at one plant, “theoretically” there would be enough unemployed people to replace them the next day.”
I think any negative impact would be significantly reduced if the able bodied unemployed were “forced” off welfare into a “if you don’t work, you don’t eat” situation. And I think this would actually have very positive impact both on them and the American culture in general.
People say the illegals do the jobs americans don’t want to do. I see it as doing the jobs americans don’t have to do because they’d rather just live on welfare.
