Subject: Arizona Law having an effect

Phoenix , AZ (AP) - SB-1070 is having an affect.

Illegal immigrants are boycotting Arizona by the thousands, showing
their outrage with Arizona ‘s controversial new SB-1070 law by moving
elsewhere.

In the small town of Guadalupe AZ , south of Phoenix , Manuel Renaldo
is one of those who is punishing Arizona by leaving. As he loaded his
stolen car with his belongings and family of ten, Renaldo told this
reporter through an interpreter “It’s a matter of principle. I refuse
to be supported by a state that treats me like a criminal.”

The effects of the exodus are being felt by Arizona retailers who are
reporting dwindling sales of beer, spray paint, and ammunition. Also
hit hard are the state’s hospitals, which have reported a dramatic
decline in births and emergency room visits. Tattoo parlors are in a
state of panic.

Renaldo told a reporter through an interpreter “He and his family are
moving to California , which is a state that will support him and his
family with dignity.”
