Unbridled illegal immigration is not good for our society. Try to move to Mexico or other countries and see what their requirements are for becoming a legal immigrant.

My father was a legal immigrant to this country.

People come for jobs. Employers violate the laws by hiring them. And Southern states welcome undocumented workers. They were there long before President Obama was in office.

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." I read that somewhere.

Undocumented workers help keep wages low for American citizens. We are a nation of laws. Immigrants are welcome to come in the front door legally.

John James

Sounds like illegal immigration is not being solved, just moved from one state to another. Arizona should be mad to get undocumented immigrants with nowhere to go. It must be hard on their community.
