This man has been in the US for 15 years working under the table or with false documents. I do not think he meant any ill will or was out to do anything wrong, other then violating immigration laws. Why was he there? To work. To work for wages and under conditions that no legal (native born or legal immigrant) would wish to work for. Keep it up AZ, you just created a well paying job by arresting this guy, now if the country can repeat this a few million times, the economy will improve.
I think that people and countries are rediscovering that cheap imported labor is not good for societies. In the past, most immigrants had a skill level above that of the native born. This was due to policies of the countries accepting them, and the fact that travel was expensive. By importing labor to compete for the jobs at the bottom of the ladder, only further impoverishes the bottom, and doesn't produce the long term benefits expected. America has produced it's best when labor costs rose. Mass production, mechanized farming, and the rest of our labor saving devices are only adopted when the cost of labor rises. After all why by a vacuum cleaner to clean your rug in minutes, when your slave or cheap servant can clean the rug...
and yet, if Government did it's job and worked to ensure that jobs in the US went to citizens and legal immigrants, which would do more to raise wages for low skill workers then anything else the left could dream of..... How loudly would this group protest then?? Also, the recent college grad who said that he could not afford to live in DC, what he meant to say is that he cannot afford a place in DC where he does not have to live in fear of his neighbors.
