I haven't once in this thread debated the Arizona law. Why is this directed at me?

The FICA tax contributions of illegals comes from the Social Security Admin and I think it was more around 75%....$7 billion in the last year reported. The federal/state income taxes from a CBO report.
And I directed the AZ law question to you since you were the one who posted:
"Arizona isn't doing anything other than giving law enforcement authority to enforce a federal law that is already on the books. title 8 section Sec. 1357"
I have no problem with addressing the illegal worker issue, if it is done in a Constitutionally acceptable manner.
A fiscally acceptable manner makes sense to me as well.....providing a path to citizenship (not amnesty) makes far more sense, is cheaper, and generates more tax revenue that attempting to deport 12+ million people.

Oh...as to the question of
"When does a person become a criminal? When they commit a felony or only if they are caught and convicted?"
Entering the country illegally is a federal misdemeanor, not a felony.
