#5 Maybe the illegals finally realized that despite what the government of Mexico says they have gone into America illegally and their Catholic guilt wouldn't allow them to stay once they knew.

#6 A recent Census report suggests roughly 40,000 Hispanics left the state in 2008.

The US Census says Arizona has 2.0M Hispanics and 500,000 illegal aliens. If every Hispanic leaving AZ was an illegal then it would take 12.5 years for them all to vamoose.

About 450,000 Mexicans return to Mexico from around the world, but "those numbers have been flat as a pancake for three years now," Passel says.

And if every returning Mexican was an illegal alien from the USA, it would still take 16-22 years (7-10M illegals) for them all to return, assuming no new ones crossed into the US in the mean time.

#7 …because you've got a few hyper-conservative white legislators trying to turn back the clock…

Here’s a little personal observation…for what it’s worth. Whenever you hear someone use the old “turn back the clock” cliché…they’re full o’ shit.

#8 "If I were able to conduct an experiment and pay all of Arizona's undocumented workers to not work for two weeks, the economy would come to a screeching, crashing halt instantaneously."

Of course. But substitute women, or teen-agers, or people with blue eyes, and the result would be exactly the same screeching halt. No economy deals well when a substantial number of workers suddenly stop working. The thing about the illegals, though, it that many of them are serving other illegals, many are doing things people can do for themselves like gardeners or maids, and many are doing things for which legal workers are readily available like small construction projects. In other words, the net economic hit is likely to be less than claimed.

#9 To start with, based on school enrollment, legal Mexican-Americans are not leaving. Those illegals that are leaving are going to Texas, first choice.

Illegals *are* leaving, but "last in, first out" is the order, with recent arrivals leaving first, and old timers trying to tough it out. Parents with young children are far more willing to leave than those with children near to graduating high school.

Illegals are also scared to death of just being "thrown across the border" into the chaos of northern Mexico, figuring that they need to go all the way to Mexico City for relative safety. From Nogales, that is about 1400 miles, the equivalent of traveling from Los Angeles to Little Rock, AR.

Politics is getting interesting is AZ as well, with the governor, Jan Brewer, facing a primary challenge from the State Treasurer, Dean Martin (really), who is now calling for Joe Arpaio tent cities to hold illegals until they are deported.

This is a reaction to US Atty General Holder saying that ICE may not accept illegals from AZ. That being, "Fine, if you don't want them, we will store them in tents, in the desert, in summer, until you do."

Finally, State Senator Pearce, who was responsible for the original bill, is going to create another bill to reject "anchor babies", despite the 14th Amendment. That is, to deny them citizenship.

He is crafty, so he will probably, as with the first bill, tie that bill to federal law, so for it to be overturned would ruin a bunch of federal law and judicial precedent.

It is going to be interesting.

#10 Latest craziness from up here Seattle-way: the city council has changed the way they will book 'suspected undocumented persons' into jail; to give them 364 day sentences vs 365. that 365 day evidently triggers notification to the Feds and the libtards in Seattle can't have that.

#11 "give them 364 day sentences"

Now that just doesn't make sense. If the illegal has committed (another) crime here, he should be placed on a rocket to wherever they came from. To keep a criminal here benefits only the employment of prison guards. Do the prison guard unions hold a lot of sway in Washington state?

#12 #10. The first fundamental of government is to provide security in your person, your family, and your property. Any government that fails to do that is not legitimate. Seattle is part of the problem. Aiding and abetting. They are no better than politicians that aided and abetted the Klan.

#13 Maybe Obama is onto something here. Much more of this and every last one of them will hop back over the fence to where the grass is greener. Maybe I will too. I'm sure they'll accept me as a worker there. I'll do the jobs they won't.

Gorb, I don't think Obama cares much for these kinds of laws. He sees his base of undocumented potential voters drying up as the result of laws like Arizonas.

#16 Too late imo. "Demographics rule under "one man",one vote". Time is short to rethink whether the U.S. is a "Republic" or a pure "Democracy".
