#1 Suriano is a Phoenix mother of two whose husband just quit a good job as a roofer after five years.
While he has survived atop Valley houses for five summers, he could not stand the heat of the new immigration law.

"He feels so stressed that he's not a citizen. He feels it's going to catch up to him," said Suriano, 27, who also is undocumented. "He speaks excellent English, but he feels a pressure they're going to find out what his status is here, and it's too great a weight for him."

FIVVE YEARS and they are still "undocumented"? Have they even started the process for becoming legal? Methinks not.

#2 "They're just innocent children," she said. "The older one - he's 9 - says, 'Mommy, I have my friends here and my school.' They don't understand what in the world is going on."

They're fuc&ing up my country. What about my kids? They can go back to Mexico and fuc& things up there instead.

#3 Oh, we know the story in NM. The new Albuquerque Mayor has directed that the police also screen here as well. That raised the ire of a couple of city councilmen who failed to get passed action to stop the Mayor and failed to get passed the usual anti-Arizona measures which are the favorite of international socialists and La Raza sympathizers. Meanwhile the Trunk race for governor has heated up with the AG from down around Las Cruces pointing out that the other major candidate had a opinion piece in the major paper a couple of years back promoting amnesty. Border security seems to be up there near the top of her platform. Wonder why? /rhet question

Ranking just above Louisiana and Mississippi in per capita income, NM is no position to offer social services at a level that attracts so many free renters. Those coming here are in for a rude surprise.

#4 WolfDog, they couldn't even apply to become legal because they came over here illegally in the first place.

I may be wrong, but I believe they would have to go home, wait ten years and then they could apply. The fact one of their kids apparently is US born is irrelevant. Once that kid reaches 18 he or she could possibly apply for them, but not now.

Anyway....enjoy NM, pendejos. If what p2k posted is true, and I have no reason to doubt it, you are gonna have fun in the Land of Enchantment. Next time you should consider San Francisco.

#6 Suriano's husband has been in New Mexico for two weeks, looking for an apartment and a job. She is packing up their Phoenix apartment.

Bawhaahaa! Now you know why NM Gov. Bill Richardson so vocally denounced the Arizona law. Kinda like King Abdullah of Jordans constant calls to jumpstart the Mid East peace process. Its much simpler to be the humanitarian when youre watching from the sidelines eh Billy Boy!

Well gee lady - maybe YOU AND YOUR ILLEGAL ALIEN HUSBAND should have thought of that six year ago when you decided to COMMIT A FELONY by being in the US illegally!

Don't come crying to me and bringing up your spawn when it's time to pay the bill. Its entirely *your* fault. Get the f-k out of the U.S. Apply for LEGAL citizenship when your 10-year ban is over.

#10 Don't feel all that bad about this woman, her kids or her husband. Get legal or get lost.

#11 In nature, most parasites optimize the host-parasite relationship so the host does not die or expel the parasite. That's not been happening in this instance...

#12 She doesn't seem to, or want to, realize what "illegal" means. It doesn't mean that you move to another state and that makes everything okay. It means as long as you're not a citizen or documented, you're a criminal.
Where you gonna move when New Mexico wises up lady?

#13 I was talking with a legal who has illegal relatives, and he said that they are terrified senseless at the though of going back to northern Mexico, because of the insane level of violence. Whole towns are being emptied by the gangs.

This means, if they go back, it has to be at least as far south as Mexico City, but any further south sucks as well.

So their option is to flee to other US States. And don't assume that means just adjacent States, either. In a car, they are just as mobile as are anyone else. The smarter ones will go to the less populated States with few Mexicans.

#15 Anonymoose:

1. Nothing in Mexico will ever be fixed if we continue to provide a free safety valve for Mexican corruption by allowing their population to relocate here. When they no longer have that option then they'll have to address problems at home.

2. There are states with fewer illegals? Maybe relatively speaking, but every state has an illegal problem.
