Not at all. They obviously made a choice that they thought was the best deal. Drug running carries other costs that they probably felt decreased the value that choice had in comparison to more or less safe work in the US. Now if we deny them the safe work option, they are left with several other choices. Now many of them are dangerous PLUS have low pay. It is pretty obvious where they are going to go.

Home building and construction overall (with the exception of road and city construction) has already come to a grinding halt here in AZ. This would be the best time to implement the laws by your estimation.

If you
want to destroy that industry entirely. With little income, adding more costs is hardly a good idea.
I always find it amusing that so-called 'conservatives' have no problem regulating the market with ideas and laws they'd normally call democrat/socialist/liberal when it comes to illegal immigration. Even worse, they have no problems burdening companies who are obviously using that labor due to cost and competitive reasons. Pro-business my ***.
