Your states have passed significant changes in enforcement of immigration laws. What do you see around you? Have you observed changes in your schools, workplaces, markets?
I haven’t noticed it too much, but then again I am only limited to what I see. Fast food and Wal-marts are still packed to the brim with illegals both shopping and what not, and I have heard that property crime has gone up because those that have lost their jobs are now resorting to stealing.
I know I see less than before in OKC. The ones I do see are mainly mowing lawns. Only half of our new laws are up and running. The local illegals filed a lawsuit and some lib judge delayed the law making it a crime for employers to hire the third worlders. This will be cleared soon and we should see more of them leaving.
I don’t live in those states, but the news articles seem to think there is lessened crime. If some are resorting to crime because of no work, then we don’t need those here in the first place.
Also Missouri has clamped down a bit.
Also Arkansas has some laws in the works.

We live near Tucson, Arizona and hired a contractor to do some work at our home a few months ago. Start of work was delayed, he said, because most of his help had left the state due to the new law.
AZ unemployment is 4.4%.
