The math doesn't work. They're unskilled laborers generally. They wouldn't pay enough taxes to offset their cost.

What costs? If they are gainfully employed, they are contributing. These gardeners out here make more money than you think. $100 per month with 20-50 customers adds up, especially if it's under the table.

Compared to the estimates of the wall, deportation, etc?

So, we get rid of them, lose their tax base (even if it's insignificant), and expect folks who are probably shite heads that would never perform manual labor to step into those jobs?

How about an electronic surveillance "wall" first with deportation of the criminal element, and then amnesty for those that can show income, housing, etc?
