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."

But,but, but what are we going to do with 12 million illegal aliens . . . we, we, we can’t deport them all. . . .
They got here on their own and they can leave on their own if Washington will just do the right thing and send the right message.
That reminds me of a news clip from way back in '92. It showed a middle-aged hispanic woman in near hysterics saying "Clean-Tone. Clean-Tone. We muss haff Clean-Tone!"
I can only imagine the lies they must've told her to make her so desparately fearful.
Some stories from Texas just when INS became ICE:
1) Some guys with a green van put a sign on each side that read I N S in LARGE letters and and drove by different construction sites. Those sites shut down big time. The contractors petitioned the city to stop these guys and the city dutifully complied. They charged the green van guys with impersonating Federal officers. The GV guys pointed out that the signs actually said "Inter Neighborhood Services", only the capitalized letters were much larger and bolder than the rest. The city couldn't do a thing but I understand the GV guys got tired of shoveling against the tide.
2) A green-colored helicopter kept flying low over a certain construction site, causing the illegals there to not only flee, but bail out of their neighborhood as well. Some Hispanic "rights" group raised hell, only to find out that the chopper was full of potential investors interested in backing the constructon.
3) Saturday night at the ERs was always a busy time, with cut up and shot up illegals competing for attention with those illegals who has stuffy noses. The staff was always overwhelmed. One night the ER was almost deserted and no one could figure out why. After a while one nurse went outside and came back in laughing. Someone had illegally parked a green van outside and spooked all the "customers".
4) One poster wrote that he entered a crowded 7-11 type of store and quickly found himself alone. He got scared and thought the place was being robbed. When he cautiously got to the counter, the clerk nervously asked him if he was "La Migra". The guy said no and asked why the clerk would ask such a question. Turns out the guy wore a green shirt and shorts and spooked he clientele.
And the libs still say that "we can't deport them all".
From another poster:
I like the idea of dropping a dime on the businesses that hire illegals to tell them ICE is coming to raid thei place whether they are or not and then watch all the rats leave the building. HeeHee.
Why do they need to visit the consulate? They walked across to get in, now they can just walk back.
To NBC Reporter... to quote the great philosopher Homer Simpson ...
DUH!!!
He can adopt them...
NBC Reporter Discovers New Immigration Law Causing Illegals to Leave Arizona
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.
Well ... Bye!
This is all unfolding in such a magnificent, sublime, beautifle way.
I believe that what absolutely killed President Bush in his second term was immigration. Conservatives had abided a lot for his Presidency, and his success in the Surge in Iraq enabled him to overcome a lot.
But his stand on immigration was a last straw.
I would have thought that Obama could go no lower. But his Administration and the Democrats in general are going so far against the mood of public opinion on this subject — and opinion which crosses party lines — that this will surely, surely damage him even further between now and November.
I loved President Bush, and though he was too willing to compromise on the immigration issue and ultimately put forward something that was just too soft, the proposal was coherent, intuitive and well-designed. (I know I’ll get flamed for that.)
It should be obvious that Obama is an open borders advocate and would only enforce the border as a matter of political necessity.
Democrats’ fortunes will only deteriorate further between now and November. If the Gulf oil spill moves off of the front pages, immigration is sure to move onto them. This is NO WIN for Obama.
Gov.Brewer Should tell Illegals to go to Kalifornia as they welcome you!
And you can be sure the Consulate is telling them everywhere to go except back to Mexico.
Very nice turnabout—very nice. Keep up the good work.
"Well...Bye"
Exactly!
Put 15,000 National Guard or more on the border and completely lock it down and there will be a whole lot leaving the country.
Not just Arizona.
Your idea has merit, however the only place we should offer illegals a free ride to is Mexico.
LOL....great story. Hopefully, the reporter reminded any illegals that were watching they only have until the end of July before the law is enforced.
