There IS another side to this in that with reduced numbers of folks our economy will NOT grow as fast as it currently does. Sure whatever job is offered may be filled once the wages have risen high enough but it will be more difficult to find folks for those positions and certainly business will not be able to expand as easily.
Although I am not for illegal immigration, I don't really have a big problem with a guest-worker program. I'll have to look at it some more to have a more knowledgeable opinion.
Certainly if you halved for example the number of home-construction workers a few things will happen.
1. Housing costs will rise.
2. Less houses will be built.
3. Especially moderately priced houses.
