NBC's Lee Cowan, on Thursday's NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, discovered a stunning result of Arizona's new immigration policies - illegal immigrants are now leaving the state. Cowan opened his piece noting a long line now "stretches around the Mexican Consulate in Phoenix every day" but noticed a twist, as the line was full of "immigrants trying to figure out not how to stay in Arizona, but how to flee it."

Wow.... A state without illegal aliens? Now that’s a sanctuary.
Bye!
I hope they all go to DC to live in socialist utopia with bambi. That White House is is too big to just house one family you know....
How about a tent city on the White House lawn; I am sure it is big enough!
Let ‘em all move to San Francisco. See if they really mean that whole thing about being a sanctuary city.
It’ll end the moment one of them steals the wheels off Gavin Newsom’s car. :)
PING
Arizona, saving precious taxpayer money by scaring away the criminals! Another reason the state ROCKS!!!
I think it is the B.S. propaganda they hear in the Spanish language media. Whatever works is OK with me. They are some of the most gullible people in the world. They worry about chupa cabras and never blame their screwed up government in Mexico for anything.
Imagine that, self-deportation really does work and it doesn’t even cost the Feds much of anything except their credibility.
It's called "Take a hike, Baby"! The border's just as open going South as it is going North. Hoof it.
You know, it’s actually a great idea if some conservative with a few extra bucks chartered a few buses, set them out in downtown Phoenix, with a sign saying “Free trip to San Francisco for any undocumented worker.”
The publicity it would garner would far outweigh the cost.
Ahh, a little motivation DOES go a long way.
We controll the illegals on the coast here by having a police car drive into the parking lots of the big building supy stores....
Wonder if Arizona’s population will expand with the influx of unemployed looking for jobs illegals have held.
Remember, the Drive-Bys aren't the best and the brightest; their propaganda skills were lacking on this one. It actually encouraged me ...
And NBC, no doubt, reported it like it was a BAD thing...
True.
When you consider the reduced strain on the medical system alone, AZ will come out ahead.
Go AZ!
I had this thought while watching an episode of “COPS” the other evening ... whenever they are showing an Arizona locality, Phoenix, Tuscon, etal, I see a good many Hispanic officers, quite a lot who have an accent. Now, since I’m being told by 0bama and all these pols, protesters that the reason they are so hot about this law in Arizona is the potential for racism, people who just *look* like they may be illegal are going to be hounded out of ice cream parlours, harassed with no grounds, am I to believe that ALL police officers, including the Hispanic-Americans, in Arizona are inherently racist, anti-brown skin?? No officer on any force in any city in that state is decent, honorable reasonable??
NO WAI!!!!!!!!!!!! They are LEAVING??? No... that can’t be right.... you mean when you check to see if someone is illegal, the illegals will leave?!???
I can’t possibly BELIEVE that enforcing the law can work!
/sarc
No Duh NBC.
That's almost a verbatim quote from President Lying Straw-Man Whiner himself:
"Now, if the majority of Americans are skeptical of a blanket amnesty, they are also skeptical that it is possible to round up and deport 11 million people. They know it’s not possible."

“NBC Reporter Discovers New Immigration Law Causing Illegals to Leave Arizona”
By way of NAFBPO today:
Cambio de Michoacan (Morelia, Michoacan) 7/8/10
Exodus of Mexicans from Arizona increases
The president of the Migratory Affairs Commission of the Michoacan state congress, Antonio Garcia Conejo, said that the exodus of Mexicans from Arizona has “intensified” between 40 and 50 percent, mainly to Nevada and Texas. With two weeks to go before Arizona‘s law SB1070 becomes effective, the legislator noted that some 10,000 to 12,000 persons from the state of Michoacan were residing in Arizona “without papers.” (The article, without attribution, also repeats the common error of saying that the Arizona law would cause law enforcement personnel to detain all Latinos, due simply to their appearance, to verify that they are carrying their papers and, if not, to be arrested.)

MEXICAN CHILDREN JOINING MIGRATION TO UNITED STATES
Correo (Leon, Guanajuato) 7/8/10
Mexican children joining migration to the United States
An official of the state of Guanajuato stated that “alerts have been turned on” due to the migration of children. The state’s Secretary of Social and Human development pointed out that 193,000 persons have been repatriated to Mexico so far this year, and that 9,620 of them were boys and girls. Of the grand total, 16,551 were from Guanajuato, including 800 minors.

I’d guesstimate, just from appearance and names on tags that at least a third of that notorious racist Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s deputies are of Hispanic descent.
One of the most important stories of the last two years has been the great number of Mexican illegals who have already left Arizona. They must numbers in the hundreds of thousands, if not a couple of million. The mortgage bomb and subsequent demise of housing construction is one reason for their departure. The general recession is another. However, those who have left for home were the best of the lot. They worked hard, saved, and sent money to families in Mexico and Central America.
People living in South Tucson, Sahuarita, Green Valley, Tubac, Rio Rico and, finally, Nogales, Arizona, can report that thousands of cars loaded to the gills with household goods have already fled the country. In return, their place has been taken by a small invasion of gangsters, the drugsters, the human traffickers, in sum, the scum of the earth. Remember who they are when you hear that Arizonans want the illegals to go home. Please, also remember, the Arizonans are quite different people from the effete Californians. Californians have already gone belly-up, and the Aztlan invasion has already generally succeed. Don’t expect Arizona to follow suit.
Wouldn’t work. Driver would be charged with smuggling or transporting of illegal immigrants. His butt would be in the slammer.
EVEN the threat of enforcement works!
Don’t get too optimistic, they’re just going to other states, mainly to Nevada and Texas.
AND Honduras alone is sending us 500 per DAY!

El Heraldo (Tegucigalpa, Honduras) 7/8/10
Seventy-one Central Americans detained
Mexican officials reported yesterday (Wed.) that law enforcement personnel had detained 71 “undocumented Central Americans,” almost all Hondurans, who were traveling “clandestinely aboard the exterior of a freight train” in Acayucan, state of Veracruz. Sixty-five of the detainees are Hondurans, 3 are from Guatemala, 2 from El Salvador and 1 from Nicaragua.

El Heraldo (Tegucigalpa, Honduras) 7/2/10
Some 500 Hondurans emigrate daily to the US
San Pedro Sula, Honduras – At least 500 Hondurans leave daily for the US to seek “the American dream,” according to the regional human rights commission. The commissioner of the organization said that monthly, about 15,000 leave the country in search of jobs in the US. However, most of them are deported back, he added.

This has become interesting to watch. People I never knew were illegal are preparing to flee. They believe the hype by the press about how racist it’s going to be...they can’t be convinced there is not going to be a lot of difference. They think they’re going to be pulled off the street and shaken down for their papers...when that’s not the intent of the law.
If there’s fleeing going on, it’s because of the bad press, not a law.
BillT, I truly love the idea of a tent city on the White House lawn - especially if a couple of MS13 folks are part of the grouping - I think they are misunderstood, downtrodden and only looking for a little love
Unless I misunderstand the article, they need help to get out of the country.....how silly, just walk across the border back into Mexico like you got here...
Superb Idea! I like it!
They worry about sucks goats? Or is my cell phone babelfish on the fritz?
That’s the reality. There are many honest and good working folks. There’s no excuse, and you can’t blame ‘racism’ for breaking the law.
So CRIMINALS are fleeing the LAW??!! Now that really IS something new, isn’t it NBC!!! And of course, we’re supposed to feel badly for the damned CRIMINALS!!! Unbelievable.
sniff, sniff as I reach for a handkerchief.
Ping!
One for the D’uh Files...
But,but, but what are we going to do with 12 million illegal aliens . . . we, we, we can’t deport them all. . . .
They got here on their own and they can leave on their own if Washington will just do the right thing and send the right message.
That reminds me of a news clip from way back in '92. It showed a middle-aged hispanic woman in near hysterics saying "Clean-Tone. Clean-Tone. We muss haff Clean-Tone!"
I can only imagine the lies they must've told her to make her so desparately fearful.
Some stories from Texas just when INS became ICE:
1) Some guys with a green van put a sign on each side that read I N S in LARGE letters and and drove by different construction sites. Those sites shut down big time. The contractors petitioned the city to stop these guys and the city dutifully complied. They charged the green van guys with impersonating Federal officers. The GV guys pointed out that the signs actually said "Inter Neighborhood Services", only the capitalized letters were much larger and bolder than the rest. The city couldn't do a thing but I understand the GV guys got tired of shoveling against the tide.
2) A green-colored helicopter kept flying low over a certain construction site, causing the illegals there to not only flee, but bail out of their neighborhood as well. Some Hispanic "rights" group raised hell, only to find out that the chopper was full of potential investors interested in backing the constructon.
3) Saturday night at the ERs was always a busy time, with cut up and shot up illegals competing for attention with those illegals who has stuffy noses. The staff was always overwhelmed. One night the ER was almost deserted and no one could figure out why. After a while one nurse went outside and came back in laughing. Someone had illegally parked a green van outside and spooked all the "customers".
4) One poster wrote that he entered a crowded 7-11 type of store and quickly found himself alone. He got scared and thought the place was being robbed. When he cautiously got to the counter, the clerk nervously asked him if he was "La Migra". The guy said no and asked why the clerk would ask such a question. Turns out the guy wore a green shirt and shorts and spooked he clientele.
And the libs still say that "we can't deport them all".
From another poster:
I like the idea of dropping a dime on the businesses that hire illegals to tell them ICE is coming to raid thei place whether they are or not and then watch all the rats leave the building. HeeHee.
Why do they need to visit the consulate? They walked across to get in, now they can just walk back.
To NBC Reporter... to quote the great philosopher Homer Simpson ...
DUH!!!
