Immigration is one of the most controversial topics. Indeed, the United States and particularly the State of Arizona witnessed an explosive population growth owing to which immigration became the subject of a rancorous debate and to illustrate this fact, we can mention that 16.8 percent of the total population increase between 2000 and 2006 in Arizona was directly attributable to immigrants . The population of Arizona represents about 6,2 million people .The immigrants who sometimes live in the shadows, represent 14 percent of the labor force in Arizona who work in specific sectors like the low-skill service jobs, agriculture, manufacturing, construction, restaurants, leisure etc.
[...] In addition, the immigration's opponents consider that illegal immigrants, which represent an attractive workforce, are only an economic benefit to unscrupulous businesses who hire them for cheap wages and to maximize their profits. Consequently, the employers have an undeniable and a competitive advantage over honest businesses which respect the law and pay a wage. In other words, it's necessary to underline that there is an unfair competitition between employers who respect the law and the ones who hire illegal immigrant. [...]
[...] On the one hand, the immigrants, who represent a cheap labor force, distort the free play of competition. But on the other hand, supporters of open borders prognosticate an economic chaos to Arizona companies which will lose access to clandestine labor because of the hardening of the legislation. In this respect, the law is already achieving one of its goals because we can notice that, in anticipation of the enforcement of the law, the illegal immigrants left the country but this exodus would harm Arizona's economy.

[...] However, if we consider the pros and the cons of this new legislation, we have to admit that it's difficult to make up one's mind even if my considerations are directed to the defense of the immigrants.The aliens constitute an interesting workforce because they have no parole to negotiate their work conditions and they don't participate in Trade-Unions. In addition, it's necessary to indicate that there are obvious connections between immigration and economic interests. Indeed, the immigrants contribute to Arizona's economy both as consumers and as workers because they bring considerable spending power and significant implications in a number of areas. [...]
[...] In the context of Arizona's tough laws on immigration, is it possible to strike a balance between the economic interests of employers and the rights of migrants? Immigration is among the most controversial topics. Indeed, the USA and more particularly the State of Arizona know an explosive population growth so the immigration became the subject of a rancorous debate to illustrate this fact, we can mention that 16.8 percent of the total population increase between 2000 and 2006 in Arizona was directly attributable to immigrants[1].Nowadays, the population of Arizona is revealing because it represents about 6,2 million of person[2].The immigrants who live sometimes in the shadows, represent 14 percent of the labor force in Arizona[3] who works in specific sectors such as low-skill service jobs, agriculture, manufacturing, construction, restaurants, leisure .

[...] It seems wise to strike a balance between the interests of the employers and the rights of the immigrants in order to understand the subtilies of the immigration. As far as one can tell, the economic interests of employers and rights of migrants aren't necessarily in opposition. Nevertheless, we can say that it's the economic interests of employers and the rights of legal residents that are in conflict. Indeed, the legal residents argue that employers avoid hiring them for good money and instead hire illegal workers at a lower wage but a wage that for these migrants is very high compared to what they are used to in Mexico or elsewhere.
