Quietly, The Illegals Begin To Exit Arizona

This article in Arizona Central discusses the effect of the departure of illegals in anticipation of the Arizona law coming into effect.

Mr. Rollie Rankin, who built his business upon knowingly building and renting apartments to illegals, is portrayed with sympathy, once again proving the newspaper editors long ago lost their ethical bearings. It was an enterprise deliberately built on breaking laws already in place, with the assumption that the law would never be enforced.

There are similar bills in process in many states, which will be adjusted as the Arizona bill is litigated. As the economy weakens, state budgets tighten, and patience runs out, many states will continue the process of 'demagnetization', and the flow of illegals back home should, finally and blessedly, increase.

In the meantime, the Mexican drug wars claimed yet one more notable victim.

We can't solve Mexico's ills, nor should we try. But we do have the right and responsibility to see that we don't import them.
