NBC's Lee Cowan, on Thursday's NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, discovered a stunning result of Arizona's new immigration policies - illegal immigrants are now leaving the state. Cowan opened his piece noting a long line now "stretches around the Mexican Consulate in Phoenix every day" but noticed a twist, as the line was full of "immigrants trying to figure out not how to stay in Arizona, but how to flee it."

OMG! Can you believe that? They are actually leaving. Because of the law. Like, the law made them leave. Like, for sure. Man. Whew.

[catfish1957]

Wow.... A state without illegal aliens? Now that’s a sanctuary.

[grobdriver]

Bye!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I hope they all go to DC to live in socialist utopia with bambi. That White House is is too big to just house one family you know....

[Frantzie]

I wish we had in it FL. We have a RINO GOP vermin like faux Tea Party candidate like Marco Rubio and out of the closet RINOs like Crist (creepy), Jeb Bush, Connie Mack III and other scum. They tried to pass a law like it in the FL House but "tea party" candidate Marco Rubio blocked it in the FL House. Viva La Familia!

How about a tent city on the White House lawn; I am sure it is big enough!

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Let ‘em all move to San Francisco. See if they really mean that whole thing about being a sanctuary city.

It’ll end the moment one of them steals the wheels off Gavin Newsom’s car. :)

PING

Arizona, saving precious taxpayer money by scaring away the criminals! Another reason the state ROCKS!!!

[forgotten man]

I think it is the B.S. propaganda they hear in the Spanish language media. Whatever works is OK with me. They are some of the most gullible people in the world. They worry about chupa cabras and never blame their screwed up government in Mexico for anything.

Imagine that, self-deportation really does work and it doesn’t even cost the Feds much of anything except their credibility.

Cowan opened his piece noting a long line now "stretches around the Mexican Consulate in Phoenix every day" but noticed a twist, as the line was full of "immigrants trying to figure out not how to stay in Arizona, but how to flee it."

It's called "Take a hike, Baby"! The border's just as open going South as it is going North. Hoof it.

You know, it’s actually a great idea if some conservative with a few extra bucks chartered a few buses, set them out in downtown Phoenix, with a sign saying “Free trip to San Francisco for any undocumented worker.”

The publicity it would garner would far outweigh the cost.

[peteram]

Ahh, a little motivation DOES go a long way.

[gulfcoast6]

We controll the illegals on the coast here by having a police car drive into the parking lots of the big building supy stores....

[DallasDeb]

Wonder if Arizona’s population will expand with the influx of unemployed looking for jobs illegals have held.

[Dansong]

I saw this report. It was classic! NBC was trying so hard to promote sympathy for the illegals but what came across to the viewer IMO was this: My goodness; they're all leaving...how wonderful, what a fantastic law!

Remember, the Drive-Bys aren't the best and the brightest; their propaganda skills were lacking on this one. It actually encouraged me ...

[FrankR]

I still hear the whiners saying, "well, we can't round up 11 million of them..". Just pass the Arizona law in all the states and a good percentage of them will leave on their own.

Better still, adopt Mexico's immigration laws...and they'll all leave. But, there would be no votes in that for obama, would there?

[WayneS]

And NBC, no doubt, reported it like it was a BAD thing...

The publicity it would garner would far
outweigh the cost.

Except one Mexican show up thirsty or hungry or sick in
there, and the media would portray it as an trip to
Auschwitz.
