What would you do about the fact that this would shut down the construction industry, highway repair, and agriculture, as well as hotels and restaurants all over the country?

Rub my hands and cackle as the welfare rolls shrank.

Once they're empty, we can make up for any shortfalls by adjusting legal immigration.

How did these industries ever survive before the invasion of illegal immigrants from Mexico? Boo Hoo. How terrible that they will have to employ American citizens and legal residents at substantially higher wages. Will there be temporary shortages of labor? You bet there will be but that is the road that these enterprises went down when they chose, against the laws of this country, it hire illegal aliens. I have NO sympathy for them at all.

And perhaps you should be thinking a few steps ahead on the Trojan Horse of illegal immigration. At some point these illegals will become quasi-citizens (many already are) and their children will be citizens. What sort of wages do you think this illegal bunch from Mexico will be demanding for their labor then? Is your solution then to keep importing tens of millions of Mexicans to keep the train of illegal labor going? Or do we start importing illegal labor from China? Where does our immigration free for all end?

Why don't you ask the hundreds of thousands of Americans that have lost their jobs since 9/11?

Things would work out. If you do the right thing, things always work out.
