The service industry would lose over 25-30% of there workforce and that is a low estimate IMO.
These are people that wash dishes, cut grass, clean offices, build homes, construct commercial buildings. Wash your car, cook food, run the hotel work force jobs. Pick your crops, produce your poultry, mill your carpets and textiles.
This is slippery slope. These immigrants have been here for 10-30 years doing these jobs and they for the most part only want to earn a living and send money back home. They pay social security tax and payroll tax that will never be collected.
Finally, these small businesses are run by conservative entrepreneurs and employ a large % of the workforce in the middle management and leadership roles. These middle and upper management roles are supported by front line immigrants that came here illegally.
This is a big problem that needs a solution. While it may not shut down our economy in full if all the immigrants that came on a travel visa or temporary work visa that expired or just came across the border illegally 15-20 years ago and they never went home.
Don’t kid yourself, you want to see cost or wage increase spiral out of control, send them all home.
There has to be a process to get them legal. Again, I am not talking about the ones who have come across in the last 36-48 months. These people are now part of communities and society. They keep there head down and work.
If they break the law or commit fraud, violent crime, send them packing but this is not that simple. IMO
