I think you are the one who isn't thinking it through. Illegal immigrants in the US cost the US a fucking fortune in various health care, etc, not to mention the huge numbers of them that turn to crime to pay their way. Hell, there is some Hispanic Gang in the United States now with over 30k members. Each illegal they send to jail (for example - and they send a shitload of them to jail) costs on average around $50k per year to keep in there (yeah that's like a good fucking wage for someone who is out of work, not to mention all the other associated costs which are enormous - i.e. the strain on the police system, the cost of dragging them through courts, etc etc). The amount the US would save is also huge, and even if they had to subsidise some forms of work to make it more attractive to people they would have much more money to do so.
