PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The economy of the country's largest city and the entire nation would collapse if illegal immigrants were deported en masse, New York Mayor [color="Red"]Michael Bloomberg told a Senate committee hearing Wednesday.

"Although they broke the law by illegally crossing our borders ... our city's economy would be a shell of itself had they not, and it would collapse if they were deported," he said. "The same holds true for the nation."

[color="Red"]Arlen Specter and fellow senators are trying to build support for a Senate bill that would allow a majority of the illegal immigrants to eventually become legal permanent residents and citizens after paying at least $3,250 in fines, fees and back taxes and learning English.
