Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants? by Illiad2006-11-19 12:55:59
  Think of the huge tax base they could represent! by Atrahasis2004-10-21 16:08:00
    Kinda iffy, to me. by themadkansan2004-10-21 16:14:57
      Then there's the legal problems involved. by wheresthefish2004-10-21 16:21:13
        Well, they're certainly not going to pay much tax by Atrahasis2004-10-21 16:30:15
          ...Not if people can't buy stuff. by themadkansan2004-10-21 16:33:25
            I suppose there is that to consider. by Atrahasis2004-10-21 16:54:59
              It would not take long, believe me. by themadkansan2004-10-21 17:00:54
                Yeah, but the first two parts are slower. by Atrahasis 2004-10-21 17:06:43
Costs get passed through where they can, although in more competitive industries (less driven by supply of a single input) I still say it would be slower than your example. But the application of an amnesty, the waits for paperwork to go through, and the delays between becoming legal and getting an over-the-table job will not be insubstantial, I say.

                    forewarned is forearmed. by Atrahasis2004-10-21 17:23:34
                      If I could afford to emigrate... by themadkansan2004-10-21 18:04:24
                        I can't even afford to move out of the city (n/t) by moongoddess2004-10-21 19:08:34
                    I'm sure the same argument was used for slavery by ToLazyToThink2004-10-21 20:15:04
