Amazing what the actual enforcement of laws on the books can do eh?
Many day laborers like Diaz say they will leave Arizona because of the law, which also makes it a state crime to be in the U.S. illegally and directs police to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal immigrants.~~~Supporters of the law hope it creates jobs for thousands of Americans.An estimated 100,000 illegal immigrants have left Arizona in the past two years as it cracked down on illegal immigration and its economy was especially hard hit by the Great Recession. A Department of Homeland Security report on illegal immigrants estimates Arizona's illegal immigrant population peaked in 2008 at 560,000, and a year later dipped to 460,000.
The law's supporters hope the departure of illegal immigrants will help dismantle part of the underground economy here and create jobs for thousands of legal residents in a state with a 9.6 percent unemployment rate.
Kavanagh says day labor is generally off the books, and that deprives the state of much-needed tax dollars. "We'll never eliminate it, just like laws against street prostitution," he says. "But we can greatly reduce the prevalence."
The AP article tries to insinuate, once again, that police can detain a person for just looking illegal which is complete and utter baloney.

Don’t come to Ohio you can’t register a car here without legal immigration status and from what I hear our legislature is thinking of passing the same law as Arizonia did.
Perhaps this will be CA’s final wake-up call.
Good,just stay away from Texas..Go to New Mexico where you are wanted..You can run but can’t hide..I am not going to say go to California, because the people there do not want them either,just the politicians want them..
Self-deportation works. If all 50 states would pass the same law.
I wish they would go NorthEast - invade the bleeding heart liberals - let them pay for schooling and the added police protection and Saturday night jailing
Maybe they will all go back to the “Motherland”...and I don’t mean Metico. I mean California, specifically to San Francisco.
Let Newsome give a good dose of them.
No No and No.
Head West Amigo’s.
ROFL and San Frans stays home.
What I call a Win Win for the State of AZ.
I'm old enough to remember when the AP was a credible news source.
Reminds me of the cucaracha treatment in my apt. building in San Diego years ago. They would spray one room at a time, as tenants complained.
So the roaches just moved next door or up/downstairs.
Finally management decided to spray everything.
Problem solved (for the most part).

Luckily up here we have 7 months of winter which helps keep the population confined to inner city welfare hell holes.
If this is all it takes, LET’S GET ON IT TEXAS!
The illegals need to go Gay Frisco where they will be loved, honored, revered and treated like royalty.
“What we need to do is buy a bunch of one way non-refundable tickets to San Francisco and go down to the Arizona’s local Home Depots and pass them out. We can also print up a flyer in Spanish that explains that San Francisco loves illegals and will furnish them with food, medical care and housing for free.”
