You couldn't suddenly yank thousands of low skilled workers from the economy and expect anything other than a recession to be the result of that. Wages would have to go up, but the problem is that companies would decide they can't afford to fill all the jobs and the economy would slow down. Everything those companies produce would get more expensive and consumers would pay for it.
