“Illegal immigrants depressed wages in Arizona to the tune of $1.4 billion in 2006 and dipped lower-skilled legal workers’ pay by 4.7 percent.

That is according to a study by a Harvard University economist commissioned by the ’s Office. The MCAO had the study done as part of its defense of the state’s new employer sanctions law.”

Those findings sound bad but then you have another study referenced near the bottom of the article: “A study published in October concluded that illegal immigrants had a net fiscal benefit of $940 million to $1 billion.”*

Personally, I want balanced numbers and to not make decisions based on headlines. This is one of the most complex issues that has recurred over and over throughout human history across the globe. How can we make informed decisions without truly understanding the issues?
