I think people give them too much credit. IT will limp along, now if its all illegal immigrants driving the 18 wheelers i'll say ok the economy will stop. The truckers are the viens of our economy. But i think if we take out any major piece of our economy JINGA puzzle that we'll be feeling a little pain. It's just silly when people keep predicting disaster with everything. When UPS went on strike you had people preaching the economy would be ruined etc. It sucked for a bit then things got back on track. I don't know much about current visa law other then illegal immigrant is illegal. I get tickets for speeding and everything and get held accountable for my excessive driving habits :). Immigrants should be held accountable for their behavior whether or not they are a good worker. I'm sure a US jail is better standard of living then some places people come from. Though i do understand it they just want a better life and can't blame them for that.
