Where's your evidence? The law has only been enacted for a month, so how can someone really have any sort of knowledge about this group that was there illegally and is trying to stay off the radar?

Its just as likely the crappy economy in AZ that is the result of the housing bubble bursting made them leave.

I'd love to see some credible statistic. Showing that this law has that magnitude of immediate influence.

Agreed, but condescension, ridicule and belittling those who disagree with him are his bread and butter.

very true and its not just about AZ although the la raza would have you think it is.
its about americans wanting their country and jobs back. the feds have simply refused to enforce the law.
when the law breaks the law there is no law (billy jack 1972)

If AZ keeps this up all the illegals are going to leave, crime will drop and jobs will open up, and the sold-out American wackos will stay out too with their silly boycotts. It might be a great place to live again!

Why do you think they're coming over into the U.S.??? Better paying jobs so they can support families, and escape from the cartels.

The violent illegals are a small minority by comparison.

If you want to deport them all, thats fine. But you're only going to make Mexicon and the border more dangerous because people will find that crime pays the bills.

Find the real sources of the problems. Whats making the Mexicans risk life and limb in the desert to get over here? I've been in that desert, it can kill you pretty quick, so what makes Mexico so bad? Do we have any influence on the lousy conditions in Mexico? Correct those problems.

Just sending them back is idiocy. You're only going to increase the recruiting base for the cartels. We don't have the funds or the manpower to make the border secure. Not a solution.
Cooked up by the whiteys? Race card alert and you are wrong in just about everything else you stated.

I think u missed the point. Most of us could give a rats A** as to what happens in Mexico, as long as it stays on that side of the fence! If that walk across the desert can kill you then they shouldnt do it. The cartels can recruit whoever they want for that cartel as long as it stays there.
Did u ever watch DIE HARD 3 when Bruce Willis wanted Samuel Jackson to help him find a bomber? Jackson told him "that bomber is a white man with white problems. Call me when he crosses 110th street". Same concept here. Its harsh but the truth.

If Obama thought it was a bad law he should have it repealed at the federal level. I'm sure the dems in Congress would go along with it.
Obama doesn't repeal laws, Congress does. We've been waiting for decades for McCain and Kyl to do something

Maybe Mexico needs a revolution. Why I say that is Mx is NOT a poor nation; its per capita income is ca. $13,500 a year. What the peons need is a 'Martin Luther King' to stand up the the (mostly) White elite and demand their rights.

And yes, we need to come down hard on the illegals in this nation----------we owe Mexico nothing.

Because when Bush was president, Brewer wasn't Governor of Arizona.
Napolitano was the 21st Governor of Arizona from 2003 to 2009.

After being elected as president, Obama tapped Napolitano to join his administration.

Quote:
Janice Kay "Jan" Brewer (born September 26, 1944) is the 22nd and current Governor of the U.S. state of Arizona and is a Republican. Jan Brewer automatically became governor of Arizona as part of the line of succession as determined by the Arizona constitution, replacing former governor Janet Napolitano. Jan Brewer became governor at a time of extreme economic upheaval for the state, and issues such as a dwindling tax base, record foreclosures, public education funding, illegal immigration and healthcare have all been key issues during her time in office.
