This editorial does not contribute to the resolution of the immigration problem.  Unless we decide to allow any foreigner to enter, we must decide how to treat those who violate our laws and enter illegally.  Yes, there will be economic impact if we deport the illegals.  The primary factors will be the opening of new jobs for citizens and the wage increases that citizens will demand.  Consumers will have to pay more to compensate for the higher labor costs.  But this is fascinating.  This is exactly what the libbers want.  Wages will be driven up for all the currently low paying jobs.  Wealth from those better off will be redistributed through higher costs to those less well off.  This is precisely what the libbers try to achieve by jacking up the minimum wage.  It is hard for me to try and understand the working of a libber mind.  Self contradiction manifest.
