Some illegal immigrants prepare to flee Alabama ahead of new law
The Lookout ^ | July 19, 2011 | Liz Goodwin

Illegal immigrants in Alabama are selling off household items such as microwaves and sofas in preparation to leave the state if a tough new law goes into effect Sept. 1.

The Birmingham News' David White collects anecdotal evidence that some of the estimated 120,000 unauthorized immigrants in the state are considering leaving or have already left because they worry they would be arrested and deported under the new law.

An operations manager for a Spanish-language radio provider told White that people are calling in to try to sell trucks, sofas, microwaves and other household items to listeners. "They say they're leaving. They kind of tell you that at the end, so people feel bad for them and buy the item," Orlando Rosa of Rivera Communications said.

Whoopee! Maybe our teenagers will be able to get their first jobs now!

Bush was wrong. Americans do want those jobs now thanks to Obama.

Let the states do it, the federal government won’t. No need to deport them, they’ll leave on their own accord and pay their own way.

What a load of bulls#$t. I'll bet 99% of them bought the item because it was a deal. It's just an added bonus that they might use the money to go back to Mexico.

This is, perhaps, the beginning of an exodus of parasites that we have been waiting for. The difference between an “Immigrant” and a “parasite” is simple. An “Immigrant” embraces his new home, he immerses himself in it's language, and culture. He seeks to improve himself, and improve not only his new home, but his chances at success - for this is where he has chosen to live and die.

A parasite cares nothing for his new home, language, culture or environment. It is simply another place to plunder for self-gain. Trash the area, consume the resources; then move along. Laws, customs, languages and the society of his host, exist only as a means to exploit what he can get.

So, goodbye to the ‘Parasites’. If some of them want to return as an “Immigrant” and join the American experience, I wish the luck. But to the Parasites - go home, and don't come back.

Need a mapquest to California? Nevada? New York? How about Washington, D.C. where some of your good friends are - maybe they will put you up for a time - just ask for Obama, Pelosi or Reid. I’ll be glad to help your vacating plans.

This is how you deport 12 million illegal aliens...enforce the laws and 90% of them will self-deport.

Went to a local Chipotle restaurant a week ago and all the Hispanic workers were gone and in their place were young (presumably legal resident) blacks. What's wrong with that all you liberal preachers that are protesting this law?

Self-deporting, I like it! If all the states did this, there would be no need for the federal government to whine about the logistics of deporting 12 million.

Send ‘em to San Fran Pelosi’s city. There’s no law and order there anyway.

And I’ll grant them permanent citizenship the day after they invade and ransack her home.

But George Will tells us it would take a line of busses from Alaska to San Diego to get the illegals out.

Isn’t there a line of busses miles long taking all these illegals out of Alabama? How can George Will be wrong? He is the smartest, smuggest RINO around.

It seems the only illegal immigrant Will knows is Barack Obama, whom he had over to his house in 2008. Any other illegal alien on Will’s street would be rounded up.

Don’t send them here to Tennessee. Send them to California.
