And yet, with all the angst over illegal immigrants, another article on the Fray this morning states that the arrest of illegals is up.

Why? Most likely because of the rise in gas prices and all other consumables, business owners are trying to cut costs any way they can.

If they don't have cheap labor the cost gets passed along to the consumer. People are hurting now from fuel prices, can you imagine what it will be like when Wal-Mart has to raise prices?

I'm not taking a stand for or against employing illegals, Frankly it's a violation of the law to employ them. But our economy is based on this endless source of cheap labor. You're going to pay one way or the others.
