#1 This is a drop from about 8% of the AZ population of illegals to about 5%. The "Hispanic and Latino" (of any race) in AZ is, or at least was, about 25% of the AZ population.

#2 Perhaps if we dropped our economy below Mexico's we could get them all to go home. Then. Mexico could deal with the problem of economic illegals from the US.

#3 ACORN will need billions of US taxpayer dollars to make up these lost Democratic votes.

#4 E-Verify will keep them from coming back. Treat the cause (illegals being hired) not the cause (illegals here).

#5 "you lose not only workers but people who are consumers, and these people were great consumers,"

2 things wrong:

1 - if they are leaving because they dont have work then they will not have income to be "consumers".

2 - the thing they are best at consuming are public funds (healthcare in the ER, schooling etc).

#7 OldSpook: Don't kid yourself, e-verify is easy to dodge.

To start with, there is no rule preventing someone from working 3 jobs "at the same time". Second, e-verify inspections are announced, so suddenly the employees all look different for a day. But their paperwork is good.

Third are employees who are allowed to "take work home with them." They are extra productive at home, doing the work of several people, for which they are rewarded.

Fourth is that the "cash economy" has really taken off. You can get any kind of work you want for cash, not just unskilled, but skilled labor as well. Brickwork, computer and automotive repair, fine craftsman stuff, welding, machine shop, and any kind of handyman.

And, of course, prostitution. But even this has twists and turns. One legal girl I know who has illegal family members, is constantly hit up with marriage citizenship offers from legals.

"I'll marry your illegal sister if you'll be my real wife."

She also gets a lot of genuine marriage proposals, just on the assumption that she is illegal.
