Thanks for the link Ted, but it doesn't say anything about what percentage of non-citizen foreign-born workers are in AZ illegally. > Maybe increasing limits is a possibility but there is the problem that Americans won't do certain jobs That's exactly why I'm all for increasing the limits on legal immigration. Can't kick out the illegals without a plan to fill the economic void. Of course, the biggest opponents against increased legal immigration are the unions. Tenchusatsu

Ted, I just thought of something. There was a representative from an Arizona steel company that was quoted in your article: > Ironco recently sealed a deal to outsource some production to a Mexican company. "The labor market is tight, and I face fines if I don't meet my commitments," said Mr. Bailey. Pacing his company's steel-fabrication bay, where welders and fitters build columns, he asked rhetorically: "Who will work here in 112-degree heat, come the summer?" Really? I just Google'd AZ's unemployment rate, which was 9.4% in March. Mr. Bailey ought to be investigated for hiring illegal immigrants. Isn't that what you liberals want to do? Go after the employer?
