Illegal immigrants in Alabama are selling off household items such as microwaves and sofas in preparation to leave the state if a tough new law goes into effect Sept. 1.

The Birmingham News' David White collects anecdotal evidence that some of the estimated 120,000 unauthorized immigrants in the state are considering leaving or have already left because they worry they would be arrested and deported under the new law.

An operations manager for a Spanish-language radio provider told White that people are calling in to try to sell trucks, sofas, microwaves and other household items to listeners. "They say they're leaving. They kind of tell you that at the end, so people feel bad for them and buy the item," Orlando Rosa of Rivera Communications said.

And then we can work on deporting the ones who remain as we come across them.

I would love it if the U.S. again became sane enough to implement a bounty system for criminal invaders. Something nominal, like $100 a head might even have them turning each other in.

This is why that if any fee or tax was to be raised, I would like it to be on money transfers out of the country.

I’ve always said the solution to the illegal immigration problem is self-deportation....I was right (pats self on back)

I’m not sending them anywhere! I’m hoping they will go back to wherever they came from and make a life for themselves there.

“they’ll leave on their own accord and pay their own way”

They simply relocate to states controlled by liberals or to “sanctuary cities” where they’ll continue to be a drain on legal citizens.

We need federal enforcement of immigration law.

“While the debt ceiling debate rages and Congress is busy haggling over who should be taxed and what programs should be slashed, they’ve promised to consider all options except…one.”

My whole family here in North Alabama are in construction and most have had to get out of the home building business since these criminals will work four less than min. wage to get a job thus forcing real Alabamians out since they can't pay there bills or support there families on that.

On top of that the Criminals are the worst workers when it comes to quality. If they build something it will just fall apart or else it is so off square that it looks just plain BAD!

Went to a local Chipotle restaurant a week ago and all the Hispanic workers were gone and in their place were young (presumably legal resident) blacks.

I've been peeking into one here in Chicago regularly that I walk by since they got busted. Last week in April all Mexicans, second week in May, all young whites.

"Whites don't want those jobs". "Enforcement won't work". Lying SOBs.

Last time I saw this headline, it was Arizona.
Isn’t that original reporting?
