What if 20 Million Illegal Aliens Vacated America?

How many illegal immigrants do the high tech and skilled labor jobs?

I dont think they would impact that employment segment much at all.

Helloooooooo, McFly................ If you're going to try to think spend more time doing it.

Let's say 50 people fit on a bus. That would be 400,000 busloads. Now let's say we have 10 states to bus from, equally, to keep the discussion simple. That's 40,000 busloads per state. Let's say on average it will take 2 days round trip, one to get there and one to get back. That's 180 trips per year/per bus. That average is probably far longer than reality. So each state would need 222 buses to get it done in 1 year, or more feasibly 100 to do it over 2-3 years. Each trip would cost $500 in gas or $10 per illegal and with a staff of say 400 to man the buses with a salary cost of $14.5 million @ $36k each. When you break it even farther down to the county level that would be about .5 to 3 buses per county depending on the state. 100 buses or fewer per state, piece of cake, remember this was sharing the load between only 10 states.

It is actually very feasible when you look at the numbers. It would also cost much less to transport them than we currently spend on them. A total of less than $500 million, no way would it top $1 billion, which is much less than they cost us every year right now.

I personally don't know any unskilled laborers.

But I do know several several former engineers, salespeople, small business owners, and attorneys (yes attorneys) who are no longer employed or have lost their businesses in this economic downturn.

And I doubt that any of them would consider taking a job created by the deportation of illegals.

I doubt they would too. Im not arguing that point with you at all as we agree.

If 20 million illegals just vanished from america tommorrow there would be LOTS of new jobs that LOTS of unemployed americans could and would take right now....that was my initial and only point.

Yes, perhaps in the sector in which illegals are currently employed but that's still not going to drop the unemployment rate to zero.

Yeah, it was. I went shopping and actually didn't have to stand in line, everyone spoke English. It was wonderful....I keep hoping they do it again.

I know a whole bunch of young, unemployed Americans that would take those jobs in a second.

IF you don't know any unskilled laborers, what planet do you live on???? Many professionals have gone into car dealerships asking for any type of work!!! It was a shocker to my friend's son who works for a car dealership! He is working there to help with college tuition. One of the few business who still hire non-spanish speakers, I might add. If you have a mortgage pmt to meet and childred to feed, your damn right they would take ANY job no matter how insignificant if it meant putting food on their table and a roof over their heads. If you don't know that, you don't know anything about AMERICANS!!!!
