According to an opinion piece by Linda Chavez that appeared on dallasnews.com: “Arizona has been ground zero in the fight against illegal immigration but a funny thing happened earlier this month when a new anti-illegal-immigrant state law went into effect. Nothing.”
Apparently the high volume of complaints that was expected after the law passed never materialized. Employers can expect complaints from a few disgruntled employees so I believe the number of reports will increase. However, the passion on the issue of illegal immigration fizzled once the law was on the books.
I would be even funny to think that the U.S government is serious about solving the Illegal immigration problem. We have a national interest in keeping illegal immigration illegal. The new global economy challenges dictates on us to maintain cheep labor. Giving illegal immigrants some sort of legality would give them the chance to be comparative and seek higher wages. Illegal immigration is just another political tool, not a problem to be solved.
