There would be a HUGE shock to our economy if we did such a thing. And we won't. Most of these folks do jobs at lower wages than Americans will. Without them, prices would increase, etc etc. This is a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation. Scott, I do not seriously advocate such a thing. As it stands, the problem will grow and grow. At some point, we either capitulate or take our medicine. Capitulation, however, will insure liberal politics for decades to come.

You know me, just stirring the pot.
