PHOENIX, July 25 (Reuters) - Nicaraguan mother Lorena Aguilar hawks a television set and a few clothes on the baking sidewalk outside her west Phoenix apartment block.
A few paces up the street, her undocumented Mexican neighbor Wendi Villasenor touts a kitchen table, some chairs and a few dishes as her family scrambles to get out of Arizona ahead of a looming crackdown on illegal immigrants.
"Everyone is selling up the little they have and leaving," said Villasenor, 31, who is headed for Pennsylvania. "We have no alternative. They have us cornered."

There is a old saying: "These Things Have a Way of Working Out", Just enforce the d*mn laws on the book and SEE what happens, it might not be so scary to some fearing migrant camps and another "Trail of Tears"..etc
Most annoying part? Given the complete inaction on the part of our government, a good portion of those fleeing are going to end up in Texas.
.
No thanks.
This same scenario would happen all over the country if a US president made the announcement that henceforth, US immigration law would be enforced to the letter, just like in Arizona.
Imagine....no illegals.
Lots of jobs in Pennsylvania....Good decision!
Every now and then, we get The Law Of Intended Consequences.
“California, Here I Come...”
What scares the bejeebers out of the regime is that the Arizona law will serve to reduce the illegal numbers. How embarrassing!
It’s overrun, and the economy is firmly in the crapper. They wont be heading to Cal, Nevada or Tx. It’ll be Utah, Oregon and Washington.
2010 version of the original Grapes of Wrath will start filming soon I expect.
Shows the plight of immigrant workers being forced to migrate to California and soon form their own version of Obamavilles.
Matter of fact it would actually be strategic planning on Obamas part to start a massive construction housing project for the millions of displaced illegal immigrants.
Thousands of white folk will have construction jobs building the housing camps.
Must be a Craigslist bonanza in Phoenix this week!
That’s the disadvantage of having a legislature that meets only every other year.
I understand that there are several state legislators who WILL be introducing our own version of 1070 as soon as the session starts in January.
Won’t head to CA? What state has more “Sanctuary” cities? What state has more liberal welfare, more liberal employment, more liberal DMV standards? Are you kidding me?
Coming soon to a sanctuary city near you!
I’d imagine we’ll be getting a few million of them here in NJ (to join the several million already here). I hope Governor Christie addresses this the way he’s dealing with the state’s economy...
Isn't Utah considering passing a version of the AZ law too?
The illegals are a big voting bloc for Zero. He simply CANNOT let the AZ Law stand!
Unfortunately, the stuff is being bought by the guys who crossed the border last night.
Instead of playing “hot potato,” it’s time for the states to play “hot stinky moslem.”
Don’t get caught holding the moslems!
It just occurred to me that there is a big house on the South side of Chicago, financed with money from a current convict. It’s big and it’s empty. A lot of these folks could move into that house - Barack Obama’s house. It would be sweet irony, an Illegal in OUR house and a whole mess of illegal’s in the house of that Commie bartard!
