Illegals Begin Leaving Arizona as New Law Approaches (2008)
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,329829,00.html
For the first time, Mexican officials in Arizona admit there is hard evidence illegal immigrants are preparing to leave the state because a new employer sanctions law is making it difficult, if not impossible, for them to keep a job. Illegal immigrants are flooding the Mexican consulate in Phoenix for documents that will allow them to return to Mexico to enroll their children in school, the consul to Arizona, Carlos Flores Vizcarra, told FOX News. They are also requesting a document called “menaje de casa,” which allows illegal immigrant families living in the U.S. to cross into Mexico without paying a tax on their furniture and personal belongings. Vizcarra said 94 families asked the embassy for students transfer documents last month, compared to only three last year. He said several thousand immigrants asked for the tax document. In a separate interview, Edmundo Hidalgo of the non-profit immigrant support group Chicanos Por La Causa, said 30,000 illegal immigrants said in a survey last week that they planned to leave Arizona sometime before March 1, when the state’s tough new employer sanctions law goes into effect.
Under the law, employers can lose their business licenses if they hire undocumented workers. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has set up a hotline for citizens to report on employers who hire illegals. He has said enforcement will begin when the law goes into effect. Many deputies have also been given arrest authority by Customs and Border Protection to enforce federal immigration law. So in the course of a traffic stop, illegal immigrants without a driver’s license could ultimately face deportation. These factors, combined with a slowing economy, are forcing many undocumented workers to consider leaving Arizona. According to a study last year, 12 percent of Arizona’s workforce is in the U.S. illegally,

Someone in AZ, didn’t this law go into effect March, 2008?
I hope Joe is the one who slaps the cuffs on Holder and his fellow criminals. It would be sweet justice.
Massachusetts was different decades ago. The whole country was different decades ago.
“you excuse lack of illegal law results because Perry is your governor.”
Hell I don’t excuse it, I deplore it. We have 254 counties in Texas, each with a sheriff. I have NO DOUBT that more than a handful of counties would like to do the same as Joe - but they know that, unlike Jan Brewer, our governor will probably look them (the Sheriffs) up if they try.
Otherwise, it would have already been tried.
(1) The "Birth Certificate Copy" exhibited on the WH website is NOT what Obama's lawyer received from the State of Hawaii.
(2) The Selective Service registration submitted by Obama is fraudulent
(3) The Social Security identification used by Obama is fraudulent
Unfortunately, Joe is a Sheriff. He can only legally bring his evidence to those officials whom the state constitution places over him. They choose to ignore the evidence; to do nothing.
On the federal level, it is Holder himself who may choose to act, or not act, upon evidence. Thus, there will be no justice. The United States of America is in the midst of an anti-constitutional coup that so far, has been successful.
Don’t forget Dewhurst was there for 10 years as well..but this time he was really going to get tough on the border...lol.
“Don’t forget Dewhurst was there for 10 years as well..but this time he was really going to get tough on the border...lol.”
Of course - but if Perry wanted Dewhurst to help secure the border, I have no doubt Dewhurst would have done so (to keep his position). The rot starts at the top.
“That’s right, ONE dollar”
They make small purchases to check to see if your card will go through and once it does they will go for the big ticket items.
Thanks very much for the ping; post; thread. HOORAY Sheriff Joe and the law-implementing, boots-on-the-ground, line of defenders. BTTT!
Citizen hero BUMP!
It came out a few years ago that the IRS runs a "shadow" system so they can accommodate taking payroll taxes from multiple payers on the same SS#. They know the name and address (from the filing) of everyone in the US that is paying taxes with a SS# not issued to them. What do they do? They keep the data secret and keep taking the money.
