How would closing the border with Mexico affect the U.S. economy?

It will reduce the effects of trade creation under NAFTA, and might increase the trade diversion that is harmful to the US economy. Hugh government budget is required to enforce the law. The US would have lost the oppotunity to employ cheap labors, and in some cases creativity.

Remember it's not the illegal aliens that are the problem, it's the Americans who are using their cheap services that are the problems here.

Really? So it's Americans who are breaking the law by forcing people to cross the border without a Visa. Uh. Huh. And remember, if someone breaks into your home it is not his problem. It is YOU because you insist on having things he might want to steal. Uh, Huh.

I am thinks the same thing sometimes friend. LIKE WIHEN I WAS diving i saw this boat ship and was screaming for friend or employees to be lookin too right? but damn nobody came for hearing me except this guy from his was mexico. Hes like ya, so we went walking to the police and said boat was under the deep water right. then they took the guy josh cus he was not being born in canada or something and then seamed and told me to be shut up right here now! Can u help me to find this boat again if you add me on FAcebook? :)

decline as government redirects the money to building fences and paying ~2 millions troops necessary to close the border.

Are you really asking this question?
