You want to see illegal immigration dry up?

38. You hit the nail right on the head.

We can rant all we want about penalizing employers, but first let's see come concrete proposals for how we would replace all the migrant workers. I would submit that the illegals should either be replaced or legalized first.

A number of economic experts have said that if all illegal immigrant workers disappeared overnight, the nation's economy might even crash - but it would at least be severely damaged for a very long time. I don't think many Americans are aware of how dependent we are on migrant labor, since perhaps 90% or so of it is hidden from view.

Republicans have not really supported immigration reform because far too many of their corporate backers thrive on illegal migrant labor. They should be held accountable for their massive hypocrisy relating to this issue.
