Well, if the illegal immigrants would leave US then you would have to hire local people to do the work. This will mean that you will need to pay higher salaries to them which means that the companies that own those people will raise the prices.
Consequently a lot of services and products will be more expensive. If the services will be more expensive this means that you will either won;t use it (which means that your life will be worse) or you will pay higher prices (so you will need to cut from some other part of your expenses so your life will be worse). IN any case your life won't be better.
This is true for the services/products that need to be done locally. FOr all the other they will be outsourced and the companies will either close the gates or build a facotry somewhere else.
In the end all goes to the competitiveness of the economy. Because US won WW2 and got out of it without major destruction, for the next 50 years after they had the econimic edge. However after USSR disintegrated the former 'conquered' countries got free and started to compete US. And now because of the constant war that costs money and consumes human resources (young people that could work in a factory instead) you loose even more.
The cheap mexicans is just a simptom of an economy that is not healty! The solution must be thought elsewhere, not to just throw them all back!
