Well, inasmuch as you automatically assume they are "meaningless", I won't take the time to cite the articles - including the one quoting the US Border Patrol.

So you accept that your sources are, in fact, meaningless. Why then do you cite them?

You mean that challenging Greatdays non-sources and pointing out that they don't exist is trolling? Would not the use of non-existent sources constitute trolling?

I'm using your words and tone in making an assessment.

Walk a mile or two in my shoes before passing on and posting your assumptions.
No, thanks.

Do you resent people who are pampered?
No.
Quote:
People who work because they want to, not because they have to?
Nope, I don't resent them either.

I understand the difference between illegal and legal, but thanks for reiterating.
Apparently not. Otherwise, you wouldn't have claimed that everyone has a right to enter the US.
Quote:
College is a choice, the opportunity is there, you just have to take it.
Patently false. Are you familiar with entrance exams? Have you heard of tuition?
Quote:
Some people choose not to go, that is personal choice, or stupidity.
Some people are incapable of attending college, for a variety of reasons, intellect and finances being two.

I'm sorry you are miserable, I think you need a hug.
Nope, not miserable. I'm not a hugger.

Seems you have a reading comprehension problem once again -

I said, YOU automatically dismiss any article I post as being meaningless. I don't.

Yes, it seems that we have a few of them in this group.

But you cite nothing. Which implies you have nothing or agree it is meaningless. Your call.

Parents are pulling students out of school. Construction workers are abandoning their jobs. Families are hastily moving out of apartments.

Two months after Arizona enacted a law punishing employers who hire illegal immigrants, the law is already achieving one of its goals: Scores of immigrants are fleeing to other states or back to their Latin American homelands.

Gaby Espinoza, who has been unemployed since November, is among those affected. She gave up looking for a job because of the law and may have to return to Mexico.

Mexican politicians say migrants returning because of AZ law

Politicians from the Mexican state bordering Arizona say they are receiving reports of migrants who are "self-deporting" and landing in border communities because of Arizona's employer sanctions law.

The full effect of the law, which calls for punishing Arizona employers who knowingly employ illegal immigrants but hasn't been used yet, is troublesome and unknown for Mexican lawmakers along the border.

Mexican border town gearing up to deal with returning migrants

YUMA - Officials in a Mexican border town are weighing their options for dealing with the large number of migrants that they expect to see returning to Mexico as Arizona's employer sanctions law takes hold.

The officials in San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico, across the border from San Luis, Ariz., are looking at the possibility of establishing a city-run assistance center for repatriated immigrants, Mayor Ruben Espino said.
