There needs to be a better system for keeping these hard-working individuals in the country while keeping them from becoming a burden on society; how is obviously the biggest question.

Yep I completely agree that they do cause a drain on taxpayers. That's why I say I'm kind of 2-sided on it all, because I see both sides, and it all just sucks, haha.
What if along with this law, AZ also dropped state taxes, and instead just upped sales tax or whatever. I'm pretty sure there are other states that do not have state taxes and just up other taxes to offset not having a state tax. That way not just the illegals, but EVERYONE is not paying some official state tax. But instead everyone is paying the state money because they are taxed in a different way, a way that even illegals would be paying in.
