Probably none.  Do you know why that is?  It's because the wages are very
low.  Why are the wages so low?  Do ya think the overabundance of illegal
immigrants has anything to do with that?  Nawwwwwww . . . couldn't be.  We
all know illegal immigrants are really GOOD for the local job market, right?

Seriously . . . if every illegal immigrant were to suddenly disappear from
the face of the earth, suddenly there would be (I imagine) a terrible
shortage of (for example) farm workers in the U.S.  Then supply and demand
kicks in, and wages go up for all jobs.  And suddenly that job harvesting
lettuce doesn't look so bad to some of the citizens who would thumb their
noses at the same job while the illegal immigrants were doing it.

I have nothing against immigrants.  If you want to come here, welcome to the
U.S.  Just try to follow our laws getting here, OK?    -Dave
