People that are really unfamiliar with that range of the economy seem to think it would collapse without illegals, it would not, the wages and treatment of workers might have to change some but it would rock along just as it has for the last 100 years. And before the days of mass illegal immigration the economy was always on a upward spiral, and since the flooding of the market with illegals it has changed from continually upward to a continually downward trend because each new batch of illegals for the next harvest or building cycle has increased the numbers so much that the employers can lower standards and pay and can still have wetbacks competing for the few jobs.
Anytime that you have an over supply of labor you will have decreasing quality of treatment,wages, benefits and working conditions.,.
If all illegals were deported then sure there would be a shake up and a panic in that area of labor, but it would soon level off, conditions would immediately raise along with wages, and then the market would have to go back to Bracero labor being allowed in with proper documentation but would not be a flood of undocumented like is now cutting each others throat for working for lower and lower wages,, conditions for labor could be monitored and there would be Americans and legal workers filling most jobs,, with Bracero/guest workers filling only the surplus jobs, not taking jobs away from citizens.
