I am amazed that some of you just don't get it. This debunks the "we can't do without illegal labor".

That's some good thinking, but to truly debunk the argument that we need illegal immigrants is to simply point out that we don't need them. It is much easier to see that the economy and our labor situation is carefully engineered to create jobs for them. This is why it doesn't make any sense to argue that throwing people off welfare and forcing them to take the jobs that illegals do will cure the illegal immigration problem. The illegals are here because we have influential citizens who want them here because they are actively applying our economy to serve as a welfare state for some other country's economy.

We don't need illegal immigrant labor bacause we don't need the jobs they are doing, the jobs exist only for the purpose of benefiting immigrant labor. If we get rid of them, then the people responsible for hiring them will make the jobs go away too. And also, most of the people hiring illegals are themselves immigrants, especially where the language of the country of origin is not English.
