A small labor shprtage would be good and would encourage legal immigration while ensuring that domestic Americans would not be forced out of their jobs by laborers who will be paid lower wages (which is what's happening right now).
Some people claim the economy is doing well, some that it isn't so well. In either case, if all illegal immigrants were to go back to their home countries and STAY there from today onward, there would be no crisis or shortage of manual labor.
Remember the strikes the illegals held a couple years ago? Mail was still delivered, stores were still open, carpets and floors were still cleaned, foods were still picked, everything continued as normal. Illegal immigrants are NOT essential to our economy. Even if they were, we have a healthy population of laborers and homeless here in the Unites States that would be more than willing to pick potatoes for a chance at starting onto the road for a better life.
