Associated Press reports on a Mexican study on the disposition of Arizona’s illegal aliens (aka “migrants”) since SB1070 became state law. It turns out that about 100,000 Mexicans left the state with fewer than 25% returning home. The rest presumably crossed the Colorado River to California that has the most lenient laws about which fugitive Hispanics have to worry.
California’s leftwing is celebrating their arrival because it hastens the total fiscal meltdown of the state. The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) calculates that the annual net cost of illegal aliens to the state is over $10B. Other such estimates are much higher for public expenses in the areas of healthcare, prisons, education, and direct transfer payments that swamp the revenues collected from such fugitive labor. Now we have attracted 75,000 more unemployed workers.
The study also states that, at most, America’s 12 million Hispanic illegals send about $26B back to Mexico each year, and pay twice that much in taxes to our governments that goes into computing the net losses to our country. Next to Mexico's oil revenues, such receipts to their destitute citizens are the second largest source of foreign revenues for that failed state.
To get the proper collectivist view of what’s happening in Arizona, you can read the latest post on my favorite communist website, truthout.com. There Joel Olson’s op-ed ‘Corruption and Class Struggle: What It's Really Like to Live in Arizona’ spells it all out, and throws in some choice words about the real cause of the Tucson tragedy.
A more enlightened and rational response to the fugitive aliens problem can be found in Missouri (here).
