Illegal immigration causes many problems that's for sure. That is an indisputable fact.

Given your estimate of 20 million illegals let's proceed from there. Let's say even 1/3 of them are holding jobs. That's almost 7 million people in the workforce. Contributing to the tax base etc. That would leave 7 million job vacancies. Would our nation be able to handle that many leaving the workforce? Probably not. Would Americans step into these jobs for the pay offered? Probably not. Companies bottom line is profit. Would they raise wages to get Americans to work these jobs? Probably not. More companies would begin to outsource. Thus leaving many Americans out of jobs that now hold jobs. Our entire country would collapse and the Great Depression would look like a cakewalk.

As I've said illegal immigration is wrong and needs to stop. But we also need to be realistic on deporting as you say 20 million people. Believe me...It's not going to happen for various reasons. So we must move forward and think of realistic ways to deal with the situation at hand and also insure the illegal situation is stemmed in the future. Better border security and visa systems need to be taken care of first and foremost so the situation doesn't progressively get worse. Once the flow is stopped we can then work on what to do with those already here.

Moot point.

#1. Illegals make for lucrative bottom lines for businesses who hire them.

#2. There are actually 38 MiL Mexicans along with Asians, South Americans, Africans and Europeans ( making the whole number around 50 MIL) who are illegally in this country.

#3. How do we round up all of them to send back? It isn't a feasible solution ( we didn't have enough cops or military to even arrest the marchers recently).

#4. Greed is number one in the USA and as long as Americans can't (wages are to low to live on alone) or won't (most Americans don't have a worth ethic worth crap these days), do these 50 mil jobs, the ILLEGAL is here to stay.

#5. It's all past the point of no return. This has been going on for 40 years.

Either get used to it, start a civil war, stop hiring illegals, learn to grow your own food and clean your own houses or just fuggedAboudit!

For questions like this, with such detail and inclusion and which inspire so many intricate and articulate answers, Yahoo! Answers should have a "Showcased Question of the Week" for each category!!!

You Rock!

Let's get the ball rollin' and get the deserters back to their countries so their responsible neighbors down there will have some support!!!

And GAWD!, what a beautiful America we'd finally have again!!!

...

BTW: Sexy Mama (gross mental image) - your answers aren't hypothetical or even low-pothetical. They're more like "how-pathetical".

The problem of Ilegal Immigrants not only pertains to Mexicans, sure that is one of the borders that they may enter from but not 100% of these aliens are of Mexican Ethnicity. Those individuals are of Nicaraguan, Puerto Rican, Cuban and other hispanic decent even Asian. The homeless people I have seen standing at corners holding signs are not anywhere close to being hispanics. I see plenty of families holding up the grocery lines turning in their Food Stamps never or seldom a hispanic. The people I see washing cars are nothing more than hispanics. Which, proves my point they are hard working individuals just looking out for their families. As far as the crimes being committed they may just be the ignorant ones that aren't street smart to get away with such crimes. I would love for the Dept. of Immigration and IRS to start checking for visa's and audits on the nail salons. It amazes me that these businesses request that you leave your checks blank or make out to cash. But no one questions their residence status, unfortunately!!! I'm all for everyone following the law as far as applying for citizenship. Granted they make it affordable for them to follow procedure.
