State Rep. Russell Pearce of Mesa, the author of the employer sanctions law, said his intent was to drive illegal immigrants out of Arizona.
"I'm hoping they will self-deport," Pearce said. "They broke the law. They're criminals."

Why isn’t our country running on the LAWS we already have?
Does each state have to do this...one by one?

“I don’t want to live here because of the new law and the oppressive environment,” he said. “I’ll be better in my country.”
Music to our ears. Looks like a few politicians also have hearing capability.

This will be a boon for the constituants of Congressperson Waters. The jobless blacks of Southern California can reap the job bonanza in Arizona. As the Mexicans leave, the jobless of her district will surely rush to fill the vacuum.

Arizona is a good place to try this experiment. Business is to illegal aliens what drug dealers are to addicts. You always get better results when you catch the drug dealer. If successful Arizonans will have more jobs, less crime, shorter hospital lines, a reduction of welfare recipients, more room in schools, English only in schools, and that warm fuzzy feeling that comes with the resolution of all your problems. If unsuccessful, Arizona will become a sandbox with a lot of empty taco bells.

” ... because as people leave, they take the jobs they created with them.”
Complete and utter horse squeeze. Illegals don’t ‘create jobs’. They TAKE jobs from hard working and skilled Americans. What they DO create is overcrowding, high healthcare costs, higher taxes for education and incarceration and a lawless subculture that totally undermines the Rule of Law.

Illegal immigrants in Arizona, frustrated with a flagging economy and tough new legislation cracking down on their employers, are returning to their home countries or trying their luck in other states. I think we should all pitch in to help buy them bus tickets to Massachusetts.

Yeah, but I hope nobody tells President Bush.

There’s no way to know how many illegal immigrants are leaving Arizona, especially now with many returning home for normal holidays visits. But economists, immigration lawyers and people who work in the immigrant community agree it’s happening
And the Problem is?????

Martin Herrera, a 40-year-old illegal immigrant... "I'll be better in my country." That's sort of the point. Go with God Martin and good luck.

Martin Herrera, a 40-year-old illegal immigrant and masonry worker ..... "we are part of a motor that makes this country run," Herrera said. "Once we leave, the motor is going to start to slow down."Mr. Herrera is part of an illegal peasant labor invasion that has caused unskilled and semi-skilled wage rates to drop 40 to 60 percent since 1977. (normalized to the CPI, the Average Wage Rate, or the Annual Inflation Rate).

When (illegal) immigrants don’t have illegal) jobs, they don’t stick around, said Dawn McLaren, a research economist at Arizona State University who specializes in illegal immigration.
Now let’s address Legal immigrants who don’t have jobs!

They weren’t in their own country, either.
