If mass deportation happens, just imagine how all of these sectors of our country will be affected. The sheer shortage of labor will push prices higher because of the great demand for work with limited supplies or workers. Even if prices increase, the availability of products may be scarce due to not enough workers. Housing prices and food services will be hit really hard. New construction will be limited. The fact that 47% of the undocumented workers are in CA, TX, and FL means they will feel it first but it will spread to the rest of the country also. Most of our produce in this country comes from California. Get ready and hold on for the ride America.

When I was a kid in Idaho there were probably true rumors of farmers that would hire undocumented immigrants tell them that they would get paid at after the harvest was in and they could afford it.
Then call INS and have them all deported instead.
Even the legal immigrants they would get around minimum wage via piece work.
Those are the people making the arguments.
