 Not when they are concentrated in a few industries. But why not answer the question?[/quote]

Wages will rise due to demand and more native born Americans will work those jobs.[/quote]

OMG, I am so sick of this stupidity. Every time that has been attempted, it has failed. Americans will start the job and quit the next day. Ask dairy farmers in Wisconsin. They couldn't raise their wages enough. People still quit. We don't want to pick fruit or work in chicken factories no matter how much you pay them.

We need to go back to the 70s when Mexicans crossed the border to work then went back home. Then we made it too difficult to do this and they stayed. We need migrant workers.[/quote]

When was this ever attempted at scale?

My dad owned a landscaping company and employed illegal laborers. He tried hiring Americans but yeah, they never worked out. Never wanted to do the work. He could not find willing workers even when paying a slightly higher rate. If he paid a much higher wage, maybe he could have found people, but then he couldn’t stay in business because his competitors would undercut him by hiring illegals.

If we remove the illegals, then that levels the playing field. Prices will need to increase. Some industries will survive and others won’t.

If a business produces an important product that is in strong demand, like meat, people will continue to buy it because it is high value, and they will sacrifice other purchases in order to afford it.

If a business produces a product that is more discretionary, like pedicures, then they might not survive, since customers are now spending higher percentages of their income on groceries. They won’t have money left over for Amazon junk, pedicures, or house cleaners. That is OK. [/quote]
