The AZ law doesn't even try to shut down immigration. It just makes what's already illegal under federal law illegal under state law.

We know we have a screwed up education system in this country, which often trains kids for jobs that don't exist. If Mexico, India, or Canada is accidentally educating people who fill positions our kids don't, we need to take advantage of that to remain a flexible economy.
I agree on principal, that's why we DO allow immigration. But first and foremost, these jobs need to be filled by legal residents.

I see immigration controls as largely fear drive. That fear is reasonable when related to the violent drug culture, but not reasonable if it thinks we can't absorb productive immigrants.
Agreed. Productive legal immigrants that pay income tax anyway... Btw, how's the economy over there in CA these days?
