Do you understand that making minimum wage is MUCH more than what they can make back home? And yes they do get by, and have been for a very long time.

I enjoy the financial loss statements I've been hearing on the news and within this thread.
How much money will the state save everyday from illegal health benefits, false unemployment claims, and welfare fraud. I guarantee you it's more than their perceived loss. You will not hear this number reported as it is politically incorrect to point out how illegal immigration is a leech on society.
California would save billions if they had the balls to do what AZ is doing.
No one also mentions how AZ unemployment rate will drop as jobs open up with illegal aliens forced to return to their land of origin.

the only benefit of working in the US and earning money in the US is to send it back to mexico where it is worth more. The money earned in the US if spent in the US is worth exactly the same amount as if you made money in Mexico and spent it in Mexico.

Oh is that the point you were trying to make?
That Illegal Mexicans getting paid the cheap Chines sweatshop wages you slop to them manage to send as much as they possibly can (which you after the previous education, I supplied for you at no cost, should now know that after the cost of living is a very small portion or what they actually earn).
Does it pain you so much that a man who has worked as a SLAVE and slept in conditions I would not care to see an animal live in actually manages to send a few bucks to His wife and children?
Just because Black slave master provided better working and living conditions for it's slaves does not mean this is not slavery. Just because Illegal Mexicans are forced not only BE SLAVES but to also PAY FOR THERE OWN SLAVERY does not make it right.
An estimated 100,000 illegal immigrants have left Arizona in the past two years as it cracked down on illegal immigration and its economy was especially hard hit by the Great Recession.
Standing near potted trees and bushes for sale at a Home Depot in east Phoenix, Diaz, 35, says he may follow three families in his neighborhood who moved to New Mexico because of the law. He says a friend is finding plenty of work in Dallas
Jose Armenta, a 33-year-old illegal immigrant from Mexico's western coast, is already planning to move to Utah within the next 20 days because of a combination of the economy and the new law.
"Mexico doesn't have a lot of opportunities," she says. "Here, we work honestly, and we have a better life."

You right little Timmy, America is a wonderful country and even more illegal immigrants should go there.
