Immigration or no Immigration

     Today I read an article on Facebook about this man that researched what America would save financially if all 20 million illegal immigrants were deported back to Mexico.  I was a good read but I found a few flaws in their plan.  
     They said that in certain states schools would be better off because they would lose these immigrant children and due to not having to provide free lunches, things would be better for the schools.  I disagree, I mean perhaps the government will gain financially due to not having to provide the lunches but they may also lose the schools due to not enough students.  Then the local "American students" would have to bus further to get to an open school.  We would have to pay more in gas to get the students there and home and I'm sure that this would equal out the money situation with the lunch money. Less students??  Less teachers, this leaves more unemployed "Americans" out there looking for work.  Unemployment rate goes up.
     They also said that if the 20 million were deported that more real "Americans" would have higher paying jobs and unemployment would go down.  How so?  How does those 20 million people leaving our country make more higher paying jobs for the "REAL" Americans?  If someone can explain this to me I'd be grateful.  Most of the illegal aliens in our country work under the table at low paying jobs so if they were no longer working these jobs, how does one assume this would open higher paying jobs?  If they mean that companies would be forced to hire American citizens that wont work for next to nothing, perhaps, but if companies could afford to pay more wouldn't they already be doing this?  In my opinion less people will be hired because they'd have to be paid a living wage and then those few hired would have to do the work of more than one person.  Worth it yet?  They say that the economy will get better because these few hired at a living wage people will spend their money.  Don't illegals spend their money now?  Do they not rent apartments?  Eat food? (and for those of you saying to yourself "they get foodstamps so they don't need to spend money on food") Not true!  The amount of money a four person family receives from food stamps is next to nothing, $400.00 a month max.  Could you feed your four person family with $400.00 dollars a month?
     Border patrol could lose their jobs.  Especially if Donald Trump gets his way and we build a wall on the border.  For the first bit they will still have jobs but when no ones crossing the border they will no longer have a reason to have a border patrol.  
     They say crime will go down.  I seriously doubt this but if it does, less policeman, less judges, less prisons.  So when your wife is raped and they can't house the criminal, don't complain because they don't have enough man power or that the criminal was released early.  
     There is no way that dropping 20 million people out of the country will be good in any way shape or form.  I know that certain things seem like they will be better but when you really think about things is that true?
