The spending by states shows they were spending other people's money to hire contractors for state projects or programs. I know Colorado is in trouble financially from over-spending, and the USA for sure.
The 22 million Americans out of work right now corresponds to the amount of illegals employed under the table or with phony IDs. There are several more million collecting various government hand outs that were meant for citizens but given, through corruption, to illegals. The first post shows Americans standing in line for jobs vacated by leaving illegals.
Other posts show the laws broken, and fines for violation. I think a certain amount of Americans could be employed as bounty hunters to collect the fines from violators, and others to drive the buses for deep Eisenhower type deportation, and more on the borders and coasts. This would energize the economy while paying off the debt with the collected fines and taxes paid by legit Americans working again.
The USA certainly doesn't need more people when the max sustainable is between 50 and 200 million depending on standard of living.

Here is a video that shows how in Arizona, people jumped at jobs vacated by illegals who got deported;

HA! I see where GA. passed an AZ. type law banning undoc's and now the Farmers can't get their crops in.

I don't have any sympathy for them. If anyone should know better in this whole illegal immigration "thing", it's the morons here that hire them.

now that the illegals are afraid to go to GA... the farmers can't get their crops in because americans won't do the work...
So what has that to do with the morons that hire them?

You just said it. Those accustomed to hiring illegals (thus rendering themselves morons) can't get their crops in now because the illegals are afraid to come to GA.

I say, so what if someone that has engaged in illegal activity all of a sudden finds it difficult to walk the straight and narrow?

Farmers, however, say they often have little luck recruiting Georgia residents to work in their fields because it is temporary, hot and physically demanding. To recruit more workers, some farmers are offering signing bonuses, Hall said.

Old crow is a "maroon", as Bugs would say.
Many Americans tried to go get farm jobs and were kicked out by gangs of illegals. Where in the past before the early 1990s, Americans worked alongside green card Mexicans in the fields and orchards. After, with more illegals, they became gangs of racists keeping the jobs ONLY to "La Raza". They used threats of violence to keep American workers out, in many places, on numerous occasions. Old crow is full of s**t.

“LESLIE, Ga. (AP) — It's 3:25 p.m. in a dusty cucumber field in south Georgia. A knot of criminal offenders who spent seven hours in the sun harvesting buckets of vegetables by hand have decided they're calling it quits — exactly as crew leader Benito Mendez predicted in the morning. Georgia farmers say they've lost to a new immigration crackdown with unemployed probationers. Unless the cucumbers come off the vine soon, they will become engorged with seeds, making them unsellable. Mendez's crew of Mexican and Guatemalan workers will keep harvesting until 6 p.m., maybe longer. Not so for the men participating in a new state-run program aimed at replacing the Latino migrants Georgia farmers say they've lost to a new immigration crackdown with unemployed probationers.

Republican Gov. Nathan Deal started the experiment after farmers publicly complained they couldn't find enough workers to harvest labor-intensive crops such as cucumbers and berries because Latino workers — including many illegal immigrants — refused to show up, even when offered one-time or weekly bonuses.

Farmers told state authorities in an unscientific survey that they had more than 11,000 unfilled agriculture jobs
