I'm laughing at how she started out YELLING it was targeting hispanics, yet when someone quoted the article and it was clearly about illegals, rather than apologize she just shift gears into another argument......hahaha
Did you actually READ the article Showstoppa? because I did.
Not only did Toxie change the title from
"Hispanics flee...", but the article was about hispanics in general.
It did touch upon illegals briefly... having mentioned how effective laws targetting employers had been very effective in the past in tackling the issue of illegals, however, the thrust of the article was about 'hispanics leaving the state'
Arizona's tough new immigration enforcement law is fueling an exodus of Hispanics from the state seven weeks before it goes into effect, according to officials and residents in the state.
Though no one has precise figures, reports from school officials, businesses and individuals indicate worried Hispanics — both legal and illegal — are leaving the state in anticipation of the law, which will go into effect July 29.
Schools in Hispanic areas report unusual drops in enrollment. The Balsz Elementary School District is 75% Hispanic, and within a month of the law's passage, the parents of 70 students pulled them out of school, said District Superintendent Jeffrey Smith. The district lost seven students over the same one-month period last year, and parents tell Smith the Arizona law is the reason for leaving.

"They're leaving to another state where they feel more welcome," he said.
The measure, signed into law April 23 by Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, requires a police officer to determine a person's immigration status if they are stopped, detained or arrested and there is "reasonable suspicion" they are in the country illegally.
About 100,000 illegal immigrants left Arizona after the state passed a law in 2007 that enhanced penalties on businesses that hired them, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Some early signs suggest another exodus.
It would be nice if people actually read an article, and actually understand exactly what the article states, rather than what they want it to state. I won't fault you too harshly since afterall, ...I understand you are the product of a US education.
