I don't think anyone opposes deporting illegal aliens.
I do. Every illegal alien we deport cost the taxpayers money.
The penality for hiring someone who has crossed the border illegally is $250,000 and five years in the federal pen for each violation. If you lock up some high profile employers no one will hire the illegals and they will self deport.
The treasury gets to sell wallmart et al to the highest bidder and the treasury will have a surplus.
For some, yes, for smart illegal aliens, they would simply go online and form a corporation or LLC and then go online and get a tax number & EIN from the IRS, which btw anyone anywhere in the world (except certain countries) can do.. Then they would not be employees, they would be businesses instead.. but, imo, those are the ones you should want and provide them a way to become legal.. those are the ones that would expand their business and hire Americans, yes, they would hire Americans cuz if they are illegal themselves then to hire illegals could bring them unwanted scrutiny, which of course no illegal alien would want..
The problem in the US is that too few new businesses are being started, it is almost impossible for immigrants to start businesses here.. even student immigrants that have completed college/university and want to start a business here can not, they must leave.. I dont know if that will ever change, given the roadblocks that govt & bureaucrats put in the way, I doubt it will.. The US has a stagnant economy, its not growing anymore.. and there is no indication that is gonna get better, when the next recession comes it will get worse.. And btw, The US no longer has the most powerful economy in the world, China has surpassed the US and by 2050 India too will surpass the US..
"Put more simply: Americans are reeling from the negative effects of too little economic change, not too much. This low-dynamism era is quietly calcifying our economy, resulting in less competition, widening inequality, and fewer pathways to the American Dream.
Take the startup rate: According to the typical economic narrative, the forces of technology and globalization are destroying businesses at a more rapid pace than ever before. The data tell a very different story. The rate at which businesses close has been remarkably stable for the past 30 years and currently sits near an all-time low. What has changed – and changed dramatically – is the rate at which businesses form. In fact, the startup rate has dropped by half since the late 1970s.
Enter the Great Recession, which turned what had been a slow startup decline into an accelerated collapse. For the first time on record, the rate of business formation dropped below the rate of business closures. Even after years of economic recovery, the startup rate has barely budged from its record low. The news gets worse when it comes to geographic mobility and labor turnover rates – two important measures of dynamism that demonstrate the extent to which workers can access better opportunities. Both have fallen to historic lows.
With rates of dynamism shrinking, geographic concentration is on the rise as fewer places power national growth than ever before. Case in point: over the first five years of the recovery, five metropolitan areas alone – New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Houston, and Dallas – produced the same net increase in businesses as the rest of the country combined.
Indeed, the recession ushered in a troubling new normal: most metro areas now see more businesses close than open every year, reversing decades of nearly universal expansion. As a result, an economy that for decades added an average of over 100,000 firms per year instead had 182,000 fewer firms in 2014 than in 2007, even though GDP increased by $1.1 trillion over that period.
Voters may not be aware of the statistics, but they certainly feel their effects. President Trump carried 209 counties that had previously voted twice for President Obama. Of those counties – a diverse combination of urban, rural, and suburban areas – 75 percent saw more businesses close than open during the recovery, well above the national average."
