A View of the New Arizona Law

I know, this isn't Siberian related, but, I just have to vent.
I saw a story on the CBS Evening news last night, and that story just has me agreeing with the new immigration law in Arizona even more.
They did a short story on an illegal family from Mexico. Both husband and wife are unemployed, oh, and this just gets my goat. They have 10 kids, all born in the US.
What really got my goat, was, as reported, the husband and wife have been in the states for 15 years, and what REALLY got my goat, the wife does not speak English.
Excuse me? You've been living in the US for 15 years, illegally, I might add, and you can't take the time to learn to speak our language? And these 10 kids you've got while you and your husband are unemployed, whose been paying food, medical, etc. for them while you didn't take time to learn English and are unemployed?
And you want me to feel sorry for you because you have to move from Arizona to Colorado because the state is going to send you back to Mexico if they suspect you are illegal? And the only reason they would have a suspicion, is if you or your husband commit a crime.
The one bad thing I can see from this new law in Arizona, is other illegal immigrants will move to other states, taking advantage of their state programs.
