"Normal" American citizens will work for minimum wage and will work in the fields in order to have a job. Employers would not go bankrupt by paying minimum wage. They would just make less of a profit.

(97% of the "coyotes" are Mexican nationals themselves.)

Prop 200 was fought down in CA so there is a chance that it will be overturned in AZ as well. After all, "Mexican drug money" (American dollars) can pay for some pretty high priced lawyers on this side of the border.
I agree, which is why I couldn't believe that I said what I said about not supporting illegals to some degree being more costly than supporting them. There are many, many economically disadvantaged poor American citizens who could benefit from the support going to illegal aliens, but they "make too much" as you state.

You're probably right; employers would simply make less of a profit. Unfortunately, the overly greedy shareholders of that company will engage in groupthink and vote for whatever corporate policies will give them a larger dividend. Too few people have the long-term vision needed to create a truly healty economy.

About every month or so, they'll find a truck-load of illegals being smuggled across the border here in Texas. When they are lucky, they'll find a majority of them alive; other times, they find a truck filled with corpses. *sigh*
