You must be living closer to the border; here in the Phx area, the (mostly Spanish speaking Mestizo) illegals are disappearing-----even the grocery store clerks are commenting on the exodus.

Interesting. Are people actually hiring them and risking their businesses?
It would be nice to see some actual numbers.

You might be correct on Phoenix, but it is not happening in the Tucson metro area.
Also a good share are bilingual and their english is pretty good.

Someone must be hiring them or they would not come here, I would imagine they are labor jobs of course. I just see them come and go, I know it must keep wackenhut busy.

Come to think of it, I dont think they are enforcing it yet, are they?
Maybe when they actually start enforcing it maybe you will see a difference in Tucson too.

It SUX for those of us in the construction trades, I'll tell you THAT!!!

I'm really looking forward to getting a raise after the last 15 years, instead of getting my rate and hours CUT because of the readily available illegals.

Are you unionized? I know some people who would be getting almost twice as much more money than if they were unionized.

Is this magical thinking? illegals disappearing from phoenix, or otherwise any border state? LOL, My friend your wishes are so strong that are becoming
delussional, nevertheless keep up the fight.
