“And by all appearances, it’s starting to work.”

Gee, and they said it wouldn’t work!

[nicmarlo]

there will be less crime, lower taxes, less congestion, smaller classroom sizes and shorter lines in emergency rooms.

"We have a free market. It'll adjust," he said. "Americans will be much better off."

BumPing that one!!!

California is bankrupt. It is time for another recall.

"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."

Hey now that's what we've been wanting to hear!!

[Niteflyr]

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.

Amen to that!!...especially the "undermine rule of law"...this has been a free-for-all in this country for far too long!

Everybody here, legally or illegally, 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."

I call Bravo Sierra. Let them leave, and the hole will be filled with legal immigrants. If we have to allow more in, at least we can weed out the scum of the earth that swims the river today.

Exactly...anyone who thinks the vacuum won't be filled is delusional....the motor will probably gain speed due to efficiency because of all the wasted energy trying to deal with a bunch of lawless bottom feeders...

[GATOR NAVY]

Of course, Bill O’Reilly tells us we can’t send them home...

And G.W. Bush, and John McCain, and many, many other "elites".

Come on. This is a time of charitable giving. Lets donate to help people get home. In a big sense. Sunchronize 5 diesel-electric locomotive engines in Barstow, CA to pull a 3 mile long train full of people that just want to go home. It goes right past here and on the side of San Diego. Those tracks stop just inside Tijuana. Lets finance this with charitable donations. Let's just help these people get back home with their loved ones.

And make the donations tax-deductible.

In other news, sub-standard housing in Arizona is suddenly suffering from a lack of tenants. Congress is funding a billion dollar grant to study the cause....

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Someone, somewhere is considering posting this is exactly what El Jefe Grande was planning all along.

All part of his Grande Stategery with the hispandering and such.

I’d wager there’s going to be a lot of high level pressure brought to bear on Arizona to quash these restrictions on criminal enterprises.

"Once we leave, the motor is going to start to slow down."

If only it would slow down. Fast growing is not the same as having a good qulaity of life:

Maricopa County is located in the central part of Arizona. As of July 2006 its population was 3,768,123, which ranks fourth among the nation's counties and is greater than the population of 23 states.

The population explosion is evident in a 2007 Forbes Magazine study which ranked four of Maricopa County's municipalities in the top ten fastest-growing cities in the nation. (snip)

Arpaio supported Napolitano (Hillary’s gift to Arizona) in her run for the governor’s office in 2002.

Illegal aliens do create jobs. Their Mexican Markets, their Mexican restaurants, check cashing stores, graffiti removers, bilingual school teachers, credit insurers, welfare workers, Antonio Villalagros’s job, all the judges of the 9th circuit, border patrols, coyotes, drug smugglers, counterfeiters…the list goes on.

[ears_to_hear]

Imagine that, dry up illegal jobs and people go home..

[ASOC]

Holy moly
IF they counted the Mexicans (that is, after all, what they are) those numbers would be much higher.

I grew up in AZ, hate to visit because it now feels so much like Mexico. Heritage is one thing, an army of invading illegals is altogether different.
