Our economy has been drastically affected by the droves of illegals flooding into our country!  Our infrastructure has been folding in on itself through skyrocketing medical costs including 'through-the-roof' insurance premiums. Education is becoming a source of contention as well.   Our state-run universities are practically soliciting for illegals to attend their schools with special grants and financing when legal citizens are forced to pay higher tuition fees, which, for many becomes an "unattainable" dream.

We all would like a better life. But there are immigration laws in place that should be adhered to in order to minimize the effect on our infrastructure!  I totally agree with Arizona's steps to enforce the laws already on the books!
