Illegal Aliens Fleeing Arizona

Good.  A little enforcement goes a long way.

The U.S. government estimates 100,000 unauthorized migrants left Arizona after the state passed an employer sanctions law three years ago requiring companies to verify workers’ status using a federal computer system. There are no figures for the number who have left since the new law passed in April.

Some are heading back to Mexico or to neighboring states. Others are staying put and taking their chances.

In a sign of a gathering exodus, Mexican businesses from grocers and butcher shops to diners and beauty salons have shut their doors in recent weeks as their owners and clients leave.

For those who peddle the spin that “we can’t deport all of the illegals” merely have to look at cases like this.  We don’t have to physically deport all of them.  We merely have to be serious about enforcing our existing laws and they will take their travel expenses upon themselves.
