There are only 2 million unemployed Americans right now. Most of the illegal immigrants have jobs and fill in the gaps, such as working on farms and factories. If the 20 million illegal immigrants are deported, want that create a massive laborer shortage? Won’t the work follow the workers to Mexico?

      I think they meant the agriculture won’t flow to where the workers are.

      EDIT: Read it backwards and amended my comment.
