Drove to the border last week with my brother as he had a job going in Coronado National Memorial right near the Mexican border. While on the freeway, we noticed several vehicles headed South that looked like this:






Didn't think much of it at the time, but then I got to thinking...perhaps this is the impact of the AZ immigration bill, SB 1070. Illegals leaving the state in droves.... So, this weekend I had to drive to Tucson again for a conference. On my way back today, I decided to actually COUNT the number of vehicles that were headed south towards Mexico that were loaded with all their worldly possessions. They're pretty easy to spot, and pretty easy to classify as illegals, since no red-blooded American would ever load his vehicle like that.

I counted 93 dangerously overloaded vehicles in a stretch of just over 100 miles.

Now, this is purely anecdotal evidence, and they could just as easily have been relocating to somewhere further south, but still north of the border. But I've driven that stretch of road at least 100 times and I've NEVER seen anything like this exodus. And that's 93 families headed south in a 2-hour stretch, over a month before the law actually takes effect. Extrapolating that number over the next 3-4 weeks REALLY makes it impactful.

My fear was how many were bailing out on their car loans, apartment leases, etc., etc,. etc. Because once they cross the border, ain't no WAY to get a payment out of 'em.

AZ is a racist. Those poor people cannot support their large, and growing families in Mexico and must come here to survive.

Shame on you Z.

They'll be just out of sight of the highway with their AK-47s and bales of marijuana, waiting on some brave, lone, deputy to wander into an ambush...........

He's also a dick.

They're just going where the work is.

Exactly, so they can support their ever-growing families in Mexico and other parts of the Latino third world. Too bad shitheads like Z, Tbag69, Flabamountwoman, Col Nobrain and the rest of the conks don't believe in family planning, safe and accessible abortion and womens rights. We could really help these countries control their populations so they can be self-sufficient and improve their quality of life where they live.

I wouldn't be too hopeful. There's a certain church that runs things down there...

Kind of... but, not really. Abortion is legal in some states in Mexico and illegal in others. In most of the states where it's "illegal" there are still abortion doctors and there is no punishment for "illegal" abortions... so, technically illegal, but in reality... legal.

Another blow to Arizona's economy, as the hard-working Mexicans leave, lower tax reciepts, emptying apartments, leaving stores without customers.

And in reality, unlike the lies told by Fox, etc, illegals are a net contributor to taxes - they are NOT a burden on society.

I love how AZ's only concern was for the banking industry...
who's going to pay those loans when they leave
Question: how does a worthless no good non-contributing illegal get a loan..?


Interesting situation...

Haven't you been saying that we're overpopulating the planet? Maybe it's time to tell them to get this shit under control instead of us...who are not adding to the population problem.

I'd like to see them come here and have the opportunities to better themselves and better our country so I hope that they do it in the legal manner.

The concept couldn't be any simpler could it? Knock on the door. Identify yourself. And come on in. There is work and a better life for all.

Mexico's population growth is pretty steady (1.01%).

If you bankers are idiots enough to loan to guys without SS#'s then you reap what you sow.

No doubt. You can't have it both ways.

Then if they really want to succeed and make a better life for their family...come here legally. The benefits are much more as a legal American citizen.

Exactly. Dumbass sheriff is down there staging hoaxed gunfights instead of leaning on the people hiring illegals. They could solve illegal immigration overnight with the stroke of a pen if they wanted to.

They can come here LEGALLY DoucheBag1.

Then they can support their families, until then if they starve its their fault for being born in Mexico and I could give a FU*K less if that happens.

This is the right answer...... but, our immigration system means it's not a legitimate option for those that are coming here illegally. Do you really think they would walk across the Arizona desert if they could do it legally?

Sorry, KY. That is the only answer.

Please don't tell me you are one of those "open border" morons.

Some worthless no good non-contributing illegal employer gives him a job.
