American Excess

I believe if illegals were deported, much of our service industry would be hurt. I'm talking maids, lawn care, janitorial staff, cooks, etc. Farmers... well, there are already programs in place for migrant workers to come into the US for a short period of time specifically to help the farmers during peak times.
Did NAFTA take money from Mexico, or just from a few large corporations that owned the corn business and paid their employees squat?

Again, if the illegals all disappeared tomorrow and were not replaced then yes, those industries would be hurt. But if we increase the number of legal immigrants to fill the jobs then the pain would not be catastrophic. If a company cannot make a profit using legal employees then that company should not be in business - end of story.
