Tough. Time for the law to be complied with.

HMM, two thirds of the work force in AZ is illegal, most of them will quit, and move to another state or Mexico. But the economy will drop only 8.2%. Sounds like a lot of citizen workers will replace the illegals to me. A plus for the low income citizens! IMO well worth the 8.2% decline which will likely rebound quickly.

Ted, > A University of Arizona study released earlier this year concluded that economic output would drop 8.2 percent annually if noncitizen foreign-born workers were removed from the labor force. Researchers estimate about two-thirds of the workers in that category are in the state illegally.

Shoddy journalism.

a) That "two-thirds" estimate doesn't have a source.

b) Workers who are here illegally can be replaced with legal residents. If there aren't any, we can increase the legal immigration limits.
