If someone wants to legally enter the county via the proper channels and works legally, paying taxes like every other person legally allowed to work in the US (you know that I-9 form you have to fill out when you get a job) then they should be able to do whatever they want with the money.

Fine, then it should be the Federal government making these seizures, not the AZ Attorney General. According to the Constitution, transactions across state lines are the sole jurisdiction of the Feds. Not that I necessarily agree with what you said, but there's a right and wrong way to go about it.
There's also the issue that they weren't targeting illegals but drug dealers.
