Arizona Immigration Law

Even More Reasons Arizona’s New Law Rocks

It’s not rocket science gang. You make it tough on the employers who hire illegal immigrants and they will move. Check these pulls from this article:

Many day laborers like Diaz say they will leave Arizona because of the law, which also makes it a crime to be in the U.S. illegally…

Diaz, 35, says he may follow three families in his neighborhood who moved to New Mexico because of the law.

Jose Armenta, a 33-year-old illegal immigrant from Mexico’s western coast, is already planning to move to Utah within the next 20 days because of a combination of the economy and the new law.

Oh yeah, and one more reason worth mentioning again… The One can’t stand it.

I’ve never heard this term before but I like it:

Owners of shopping centers, car lots, banks, money wiring services, and even the Mexican Consulate in Phoenix, are witnessing the rise of “self-deportations,”

Self-deportations… sounds like success to me. You go Arizona!

Why We Need More States To Step Up And Do What Arizona Has Done

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”.
