Ruben Navarrette : What would happen if 22 percent of America ’s farmworkers vanished from the workforce? Would a million American workers drop everything to pour concrete and climb scaffolds to swing hammers? Or would construction decline, companies downsize, and the cost of housing go up? He says deportation has been bad for U.S. workers since the 1920s and 1930s , and has cost jobs, boosted unemployment, and brought down wages.

Deporting them is bad for everyone. The idea that deportation helps US citizens has always been an illusion. It’s never worked before and it wouldn’t work this time. Michael Ettlinger is founding director and an affiliated senior fellow at the Carsey School of Public Policy at the University of New Hampshire and is a senior fellow at the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy ..
