Lets see, if you hire illegals for your business, then you are breaking the law to make money. You should go to jail. If you can't compete by not hiringing illegals, then you are part of the problem and you should get out of that business. The ONLY reason people come here illegaly is to make a better wage. That wage will be less than what would be paid to an American, but better than what the illegal could make in their own country. Because that wage is less for them, few Amercans will want to do it. Its called wage depression.
If there are 12,000,000 illegals here, and they left, that in my estimate would leave about 1000,000 housing units empty (based on average occupancy we see here in Huntsville). That should, under legal circumstance leave about 3 million housing units empty, so illegals are pressing demand down and lowering rent/house values. Of course, rent is prolly not reduced much since shady landlords who rent to illegals prolly increase their rent above market rates.
