Illegal immigrants packing up and leaving Arizona

[Onkel Neal]

Illegal immigrants in Arizona, frustrated with a flagging economy and tough new legislation cracking down on their employers, are returning to their home countries or trying their luck in other states.

For months, immigrants have taken a wait-and-see attitude toward the state's new employer-sanctions law, which takes effect January 1. The voter-approved legislation is an attempt to lessen the economic incentive for illegal immigrants in Arizona, the busiest crossing point along the U.S.-Mexico border.

And by all appearances, it's starting to work.

No surprise here. If we enforce our immigration laws through the workplace, illegals will go home. No need to mass deportation.

I wonder which states are going to catch the overflow? :hmm: I better write my congressman (again).
