  The United States has a perverse immigration policy where we punish people who try to come in through the approved and legal avenues, and rely on those who don't in order to feed our population.

    If those illegal workers weren't here the wages on those jobs would stabilize to a wage that an American could afford to work it and Americans would work it. The rich love immigration. They make way more money off the backs of workers.

      That would always be an interesting experiment, if only the people in power would ever allow it. Unfortunately, all political parties try their hardest to perpetuate and foster “illegal” immigration to fill their own pockets.

      I am pretty sure that the Americans would not do that work anymore. First off it require a bunch of them to leave cities and there is a remarkable tendency for people not to do that. Second, the work is extremely grueling. Many Americans are no longer able to do that sort of physical labor. Finally, the spiraling cost of food would be so inflationary that we could not afford to pay the people doing the back breaking labor enough for them to consider it worthwhile compared to their other money making options.

  1 billion Indians would move to America if allowed. Do you believe this would be a good thing? Its a quintessential slippery slope.
