What happened to wages of native-born workers after Arizona passed E-Verify?
Yahoo ^ | 11/18/2011 | Liz Goodwin

Lawmakers in several states have vowed to pass undocumented employer sanction laws after the Supreme Court upheld Arizona's this year. Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) has drummed up some support to pass a federal version in Congress that would require all employers to use the government's E-Verify database to ensure their employees are authorized to work--or risk losing their business license.

Arizona provides a case study for the effects of a tough E-Verify law on the labor market.

According to a study released this year by the Public Policy Institute of California, about 92,000 or 17 percent of the Hispanic non-citizen population of Arizona left in the year after the state passed E-Verify legislation. The researchers say most of them were illegal immigrants

Illegal aliens won’t even call the police when they are kidnapped, why would they answer any questions about work, etc?

I don’t believe the stats.

I'd rather see it done on a state-by-state basis - I think it's more likely to get enforced that way.

There are 16 states with some form of E-Verify right now. Most just apply to gov't work or contracts. If more states would do it like Alabama, it could snowball.

From your link:

Despite its legal challenges, Arizona Senate President Russell Pearce, a Republican who is the chief architect of SB1070 -- said the bill is a success. He said more than 100,000 illegal immigrants have left Arizona.

"We've saved over $500 million annually in K-12 (education), declining enrollment," Pearce said. "We're down 500 inmates (in the prison system) from where we were a year ago."

Despite these successes and the tax dollars saved, Pearce was recalled. Incredible.

Even more disturbing is this; note the biased headline and story.

Arizonans who ousted anti-immigration lawmaker set sights on sheriff

I don't believe the stats either. I think in reality they are probably much higher.

ILLEGAL aliens are bolder these days. If they will speak to the media, they'll answer a poll question.

No E-Verify, no workee.
No E-Verify, no public assistance.
And in California . . . no free college degree.

California's uber-liberal governor Jerry Brown liked Rick Perry's instate tuition plan for ILLEGAL aliens so much he copied it.

California is now as bad as TX.

Despite the headline, neither the story nor the research say anything about wages. The research does address total employment and finds that Arizona lost jobs faster than inland California or Nevada, Utah and New Mexico. The program has proven very successful in destroying jobs.

Make that sign say “are eligible to fund their extinction” and it will be on target.

Buried in the story was this...

After this exodus of mostly illegal immigrants, wages did not budge for native-born residents, the study found.

I don’t know what to believe anymore. I know they were strong enough to force AZ Senator Russell Pearce out of office.

The research shows no such thing. It does address the effect of the recession on total employment.

LAWA is a great success. 92,000 more jobs available to legal residents.

The savings in welfare, education and health care services alone has been terrific.

And never one good or truthful word about Pearce on local news or talk radio.
