We called this one a mile away

State complains about the flood of Mexicans into its towns will hurt their economy - the Mexican state of Sonora that is.
Several of our bloggers have discussed over the past few years that illegal immigration is a market problem - the demand is created by employers who will hire illegal immigrant workers, who are simply providing the supply. Cut the demand, by by actually punishing the employers, and the workers will stop coming. An Arizona law that will do just that has the adjacent state of Sonora all antsy because Mexican workers will come home if there are no jobs. Not a perfect solution, but a very sensible step in the right direction. No demand for illegal workers = no (or substantially less) illegal workers.
