Migrants sell up and flee Arizona ahead of crackdown
"Nicaraguan mother Lorena Aguilar hawks a television set and a few clothes on the baking sidewalk outside her west Phoenix apartment block.

A few paces up the street, her undocumented Mexican neighbor Wendi Villasenor touts a kitchen table, some chairs and a few dishes as her family scrambles to get out of Arizona ahead of a looming crackdown on illegal immigrants.

"Everyone is selling up the little they have and leaving," said Villasenor, 31, who is headed for Pennsylvania. "We have no alternative. They have us cornered."

The two women are among scores of illegal immigrant families across Phoenix hauling the contents of their homes into the yard this weekend as they rush to sell up and get out before the state law takes effect on Thursday."

This breaks my heart. Just another example of trying to resolve an issue, and the medicine is worse than the original issue. Don't know what else to say.

1. The best thing that could happen is for every person of color to leave Arizona. No more crossing

from Mexico to go shopping.
No more day labor.
No more cooks, buss boys, waiter/waitresses, lawn care/child care.

Leave the bigots do care for their own children cook their own food, clean up their own mess for a while.
Then see what their attitude is.
