Subject: Arizona Law having an effect

Phoenix , AZ (AP) - SB-1070 is having an affect.

Illegal immigrants are boycotting Arizona by the thousands, showing
their outrage with Arizona ‘s controversial new SB-1070 law by moving
elsewhere.

In the small town of Guadalupe AZ , south of Phoenix , Manuel Renaldo
is one of those who is punishing Arizona by leaving. As he loaded his
stolen car with his belongings and family of ten, Renaldo told this
reporter through an interpreter “It’s a matter of principle. I refuse
to be supported by a state that treats me like a criminal.”

The effects of the exodus are being felt by Arizona retailers who are
reporting dwindling sales of beer, spray paint, and ammunition. Also
hit hard are the state’s hospitals, which have reported a dramatic
decline in births and emergency room visits. Tattoo parlors are in a
state of panic.

Renaldo told a reporter through an interpreter “He and his family are
moving to California , which is a state that will support him and his
family with dignity.”

Hey trucking unions and loading dock unions... How’s that support of hussein obama and the socialist Democrats looking now? Buyer’s remorse setting in yet?

That’s right, I hope the unions are finally opening their eyes.

My $$ says the Unions will look the other way. Its about ideology, not the best interest of their members. And I’m sure many of those trucks will be bringing in drugs and illegals into the country.

I received this email from a friend and it may have been meant as a joke.

Mexican trucks are known to be overweight and lacking in safety regulations we consider essential, such as anti-lock brakes. Mexico doesn't have national databases that track drivers' records, background checks, drug usage and arrests, and it's known to be easy to get a commercial driver's license with a bribe.

What better way to bring drug shipments and weapons in for the cartels and -- face it, it's very likely happening already -- terrorists already implanted inside the country.

We're committing national suicide. It's as simple as that.

We passed a large truck on I40 yesterday which had Mexican markings and thought the new regulations must now be in effect. Perhaps the Mexican truck traffic in the US is already now legal?

I understood this had already started under the Bush administration?
And the trucks had been rolling since then?

Yet another job Americans will not do.

The current massive unemployment shows that people would rather stay home unemployed on unemployment and food stamps rather than drive a truck.

In many areas, companies are looking hard for drivers but they don’t appear.

Oh—okay.

It might make sense to state that in your post so people don’t have to wonder about it.

I live in Texas, and Mexican trucks traveling along our roads are not a joke here.

Nevertheless, Obama’s transportation secretary, Ray LaHood, has announced he wants to admit Mexican trucks, and he thinks he can appease *Congress* by presenting on Jan. 6 what he calls a “concept document.” It is two pages of bureaucratic pablum that does nothing to assure the safety of Americans on our highways and roads.
Not taking bets on what congress will do.

Don’t you think they will object when they see all these trucks all over the country? Truckers are a pretty interesting group. I hope they stand up to this.

I doubt the the Mexican DMV doesn’t hound drivers over their court ordered family support payments either. LOL
