Here's a likely possibility :
In 2013 Illegal aliens are deported, Arizona, Texas and other border states stop trending to the left.

2040 Map
Green are toss ups
And the country undergoes massive economic collapse, as the boomers age with an ever decreasing working population to pay for them. The elections of the 2020's will likely be absolutely dominated by this issue.
But in 2017 with Republicans in complete control of everything after Obama's dismal second term, Paul Ryan's road map for America's Future is adopted with slight modifications, making Social Security and Medicaid permently solvent as well as simply the tax code. The elections of 2020's serve as a refrendum on the huge success of this program. Large waves of legal highly skilled immigrants come to the country and propell America into an economic boom. Republicans win landslides in 2020 and 2024. The Dems seize the White House due to voter fatique in 2028 but lose after one term in 2032. The Republican gets reelected in 2036. Mild recessions occur in 2023 and and 2031-2032. A stock market crash occurs in 2027 but its similar to 1987 in that it has little impact on the booming economy. The 2040 election is close but the winner however gets to deal with a severe Recession approaching levels similar to the current one.

My point is we have no idea what is going to happen 5 years let alones decades from now. He didn't say that all immigrants would be kicked out, he said illegal ones. Which actually have no benefit to social entitlements cause they recieve more in benefits then pay in taxes, cause they are poor. Whereas wealthier, highly educated immigrants contribute more in taxes then they recieved in benefits from social programs. So I think you are going a little overboard, in fact damn near insulting when suggesting that I am naive enough to believe that what I say will definately come true. This whole thread has descended to joke levels and so there all kinds of the wall responses. I felt I would give the extreme response in the opposite direction of what you suggested(which clearly disconnects with facts regarding Immigration). Deportation of illegal Aliens will have no effect on Social Security, this is a lie being peddled by the open borders lobby. Now if you deport all immigrants that of course is a problem, but I don't remember anyone suggesting that. Granted there is a problem with Social Security but the causation you have between that and deportation of illegals is illogical. You might want to try out that forum yourself, cause you are just as off base as I am. Or maybe I am naive cause I beleive there is a policy solution to the problems you mentioned short of the massive pain in exchange for little or no improvement which everyone seems to prefer.
Please don't insult me Soulty, If there is one thing I can't stand about my fellow Pennsylvanians its there sheer arrogance.
