Migrants Self-Deporting In Arizona

Wonder how many illegal's homes are in the numbers being reported as foreclosures?

"Arizona passed employer sanctions with a particular bite. Rather than set up an escalating series of fines, which has been the federal approach, the state opted to put employers out of business. A first offense gets a ten-day suspension of the firm's business license, which would close the doors during that period. A subsequent offense revokes the business license permanently. Needless to say, that has provided an incentive to business owners to start checking identities through the federal database and terminating anyone who doesn't clear the system."

Here's hoping the 500,000 all leave before the libs and ACLU succeed in defeating this law.

Poor little New Mexico, with King Bill Richardson as Gov., we will not see this kind of law here.

It's impossible to count how many undocumented immigrants have fled because of the new law.

Undocumented immigrants. I'm not 'trespassing', I'm 'territorially challenged'...

“What are you gonna do - just deport 20 million people?”

[doorgunner69]

Some are moving to other states.................... Others are returning to Mexico

Want to guess what the ratio is?

[irishtenor]

No, we’ll let them deport themselves. Works better that way.

[umgud]

Wanna bet the gangbangers and drug runners will still be in AZ when all the others have left? This is why we need a fence in addition to interior enforcement.

[MaxMax]

How the hell does a Democrat one-up us on immigration?
Nevermind.

Say, isn’t Arizona the state where that sherriff has all those prisoners in a boot camp?

Maybe some of them can be offered an opportunity to reform and get a steady job, if they’re tired of being in jail.

I'm glad I don't own stock I would certainly sell it considering the rising defaults on mortgages and declining house values. BAnks are going to end up with a lot of mortgages on over valued property, but then the anti immmigrant crowd doesn't care what happens to the economy. The reduced demand for goods and services will put a lot of citizens out of work or out of business. Here's some more from the original article. <> http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/news/articles/0826sanctionsimpact08260.html?&wired

Based on how many illegals I saw at the local park this last weekend, I’d say they are all moving to Texas.

Arizona employers will have to raise wages to compete for workers, which will cost consumers more but allow for more money in the market as well. It also might prompt business to push for automation where possible, using technology to fill the gaps.

Gasp! They might have to pay actual wages and make use of technology!

[Maelstorm]

What a surprise. lol Amazing things happen when you enforce the law.

[skeeter]

Damn right they will. Some of us have been screaming this for years now.

[rabscuttle385]

He knows other undocumented immigrants who are refinancing their houses and getting cash out so they can return right away rather than waiting for their houses to sell.

Refinancing the homes, taking the cash, and returning to Mexico, leaving the bank stuck with the mortgages? Oh no!

[NRA2BFree]

Oh yes, they’ll come to NM. After all, we do have a Governor who is 1/2 Mexican and 1/2 RAT. You know, he’s rolled out the red carpet for them. He wants their votes.

[FlyVet]

If we really, really need extra workers, then the hapless, incompetent FedGov would fix the LEGAL immigration system, so that they could get here LEGALLY as needed, wouldn't they?

Wouldn't they? Huh? Huh?

No?

Why not?

[joonbug]

What a surprise! Enforce the law and see that it actually works...
