The illegals affect this country in many ways. They have a large affect on the rental market. They will live 5-10 in a two bedroom apt, and won't think twice about paying 1500 a month for it either. Now if you were a husband and wife with 2 kids, your wife stays at home to raise the kids, and lets be generous and say you make 70,000/ year. Are you going to be able to afford 1500/month for an apt, 2 car payments, insurance through the roof on the cars cause of all the insurance scams the illegals pull, clothes, food, and utilites? It goes on and on and on..
Now let's say there are no more illegals, you had to pluck lettuce. Who's to say that the lettuce guy isn't enjoying such huge profits now, that he would not be able to absorb some of the cost of raising wages to attract AMERICANS. If you had to pay .25 / per head of lettuce more would it kill you ?
