Let us do a cliffnotes version of the immigration question in the USA. It is all about the $$$$$$$$$$$$. If all these 12 million plus Mexicans/Central Americans/South Americans/Caribbean Spanish speaking types did not have somebody paying them every month or every two weeks etc. they can't pay the rent or buy food to fill their bellies. Therefore there is an economy willing to support the illegals. If that did not exist they could not remain on USA soil. The Feds don't have the money to deport 12+ million people. It would take at least new deportation cells, and prisons, cops charging by the hour to track everyone down, then social workers, gov't workers to pull the illegals kids out of public schools, hospitals, etc. The whole endeavor would have to be given top billing for months. Many employers would not be able to fill the need. No one to work in ironing shirts in some sweat shop dry cleaners, fast food workers looking at Pizza Hut and Burrito orders in Taco Bell, no stockers at Target, Kmart etc. No car wash employees, landscape companies, nurseries, agricultural workers, pothole and roofers and tile layers and drywallers and highway layers, short order cooks and so on and so on.....hotel maids. And many many more, meat packing plants. So much. Might as well accept these people are there because they are doing something many refuse to do in the USA which is work the conditions and pay that a lot of industries are adamant about maintaining in this country. The big companies and chains and even many small businesses won't and can't pay legal USA citizens with VISAS and high school diplomas need to live 'decently'. Statistically speaking that is a minimum of $15 dollars an hour. How many of the above jobs pay that folks?

This is when the pedal hits the metal. Basically why it is impossible to implement some MASTER DEPORTATION PLAN A LA TOM TANCREDO. He can't seem to understand what all that means in the bottom dollar America.
