The purchase of the briefcase-sized shoulder bags means that another one of Katchi’s customers, mostly Latino immigrants, is packing to leave the state before what is touted as the nation’s toughest law against illegal immigrants takes effect July 29.
So...it’s working is the bottom line here.
I really hope the author didn’t intend for me to wring my hands over this article.
Because it isn’t working.
The law is working as it should and it hasn’t even taken effect!
Have a ni-i-i-i-ice trip....
And don't let the screen door....
So. You make a large part of your living catering to the needs of criminals, and then when the law decides it is going to enforce the law, and the criminals disappear, law-abiding citizens are supposed to feel...what?
Guilty?
How is this different than someone who runs a head shop selling pipes next to a crack dealer’s house?
I am sure there are people who would try to convince me illegal aliens aren’t criminals, but that is going to be a tough sell to me.
Oh, sure I’m going to belive this b.s. from a liberal, biased, bleeding heart piece of crap comming from the L.A. times.
California is broke and is welcoming illegals. Guess all of those wealthy grape vine owners (Pelosi) need pickers, and to hell with the state’s economy.
Over 22 hospitals have gone bankrupt in N.J. due to “too much charity work”, and N.J. isn’t even a border state.
Illegals do not help our economy, they bleed it to death.
Aren’t these business owners who cater to illegals aiding and abetting in a crime also? I do not feel sorry for them.
Has anyone seen any estimates on the numbers of illegals who have departed the state?
Concur. Less gunfire, less graffiti, few-to-no crazy drivers.
Last trip to PHX was pleasant. Neighborhood was quiet at night.
This exodus is fueled by ignorance and media driven hysteria.
My heart bleeds.
Exactly. AZ’s economy was already suffering just like every other state.
I liked this part:
“He recalled one recent evening when two families were eating dinner. Their cellphones rang. Friends were alerting them that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio — strongly disliked in the area for his targeting of illegal immigrants — had sent deputies to raid a nearby car wash. The families quickly asked for their checks, paid and ran from the restaurant.”
Awesome!
Sounds like a real natural born, U.S. patriotic citizen. And, already, he is behind on his rent? What kind of businessman could he be if he only lost sales because some illegals have been leaving? Mind you, he said that whenever someone purchases a tote bag it means they are illegals preparing to leave. Sounds more like his store, and the others around there have been suffering loss of sales because no real Arizona legal resident has been shopping there for fear of the criminal activity in the area by the illegals. Now, poor Najmuddin, who has made his living on taking their money, happily, is complaining?
Arizona has INDEED been growing. Growing in crime, imported diseases, food stamps, and all of those nice little benefits brought when thugs, illiterates and welfare pimps invade one’s home.
