If anyone has any doubt why Arizona needs to be the model of immigration reform on a state level just read this from Reuters:
“Since the law says that people hiring undocumented day laborers will get fined, no-one wants to (hire) us,” said Aguilar, who early on Monday was among some two dozen migrants touting for landscaping and building work at a day labor site in north Phoenix.
“We are thinking of going to Utah or New Mexico … Here it is just too racist,” he added.
This is awesome! Aguilar’s response is priceless. He is an illegal immigrant giving a first hand account of the effects of fining the crap out of any business who hires illegal immigrants. They don’t. Farther down in the article you will see an even greater reaction. They will go somewhere else. Hopefully home and then come back legally… we would love to have them back here under those circumstances. I hope more states will follow Arizona’s lead and craft their own similar legislation.
Even more good news is that it upset our “Dear Leader”.
