Not if they’re free to move about the rest of the country, like, say, PENNSYLVANIA:
PHOENIX (Reuters) – Nicaraguan mother Lorena Aguilar hawks a television set and a few clothes on the baking sidewalk outside her west Phoenix apartment block.
A few paces up the street, her undocumented Mexican neighbor Wendi Villasenor touts a kitchen table, some chairs and a few dishes as her family scrambles to get out of Arizona ahead of a looming crackdown on illegal immigrants.
“Everyone is selling up the little they have and leaving,” said Villasenor, 31, who is headed for Pennsylvania. “We have no alternative. They have us cornered.”
I’m sorry, I have little sympathy since we are offering up all of OUR crap in garage sales in anticipation of moving to the Keys to live with a relative until we can hopefully peddle our LEGAL asses around and find jobs, something that is not forthcoming here (or California, for that matter) in spite of my considerable talents as a construction worker.
It sounds to me as if the law, not even in effect, is working splendidly.

I just hope the states they’re fleeing to enact the same damn law…

Me too! Part of the survey I recently took included the AZ law and if I’d like to see it in Florida. You can imagine my answer…

Unbelievable. LIke you, I hope all states start to enforce a law that stops this non-sense.

Our oldest boy is in Phoenix. I think I’ll tell him to go around and explain to these folks that it’s fine with us if they take their clothes and kitchen tbles to Mexico with them.

I’d send him a check. Maybe he can score some good deals and make some of our money back!
