Arizona’s SB 1070 immigration law went into effect a week ago, albeit with its most contested provisions blocked until November, at least. But the law’s economic impact on the state may be lingering. After the law was announced, boycotts of the state sprang up around the country, and officials from the tourism industry worried they’d be hard hit, issuing a statement in May that the law “could easily have a devastating effect on visitation to our state.”
According to at least one metric, the boycotts did make an impact. The Arizona Republic reported this week that fewer companies and organizations are choosing Arizona to host conventions and meetings in the state because of the law:
Arizona Hotel and Lodging Association chief executive Debbie Johnson says the state has lost about 40 conventions and $15 million so far. And she says that’s “a lowball guess.”
Johnson says if there’s one bright spot, hotel bookings are up from last year.
Convention organizers say it will take a lot of work to rebuild the state’s tattered image over immigration.
The state’s reputation was damaged further among the immigrant population, experts said. About 460,000 illegal immigrants were estimated to live in Arizona in 2009. Hard numbers are impossible to come by, but anecdotal evidence for immigrants fleeing the state is rife in the press. USA Today reported unusual drops in enrollment at elementary schools, while Reuters wrote that many immigrants held yard sales to get rid of their belongings before fleeing. Local businesses are hurting — they have fewer customers and employees as people leave Arizona, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Of course, the law was meant to drive illegal immigrants out of the state. But even losing part of the illegal immigrant population could have damaging economic effects, said Marc Rosenblum, senior policy analyst at the non-partisan Migration Policy Institute. “We’ve definitely seen some anecdotal evidence that people are leaving, not just unauthorized immigrants but probably some legal immigrants as well,” he told TWI. “Businesses are feeling an impact, both because they may find a shortage of workers but also a shortage of customers.”
The fact that the law was not fully implemented will not altogether mend damage to Arizona’s reputation, said Mary Moreno, a spokeswoman for immigrant-friendly Center for Community Change. “It’s already caused a lot of harm, even without going into effect,” she told me. “Just the fact that it was passed has done a lot. Arizona has already battled with being perceived as a racist state — it’s set back the state a lot.”

Very true. The Left Wing, and the Organizations that back the illegal aliens, came out early calling it racist, a hate message, unconstitutional, and more. And it is still going on. As the fur settled, and more and more people actually read the law, the tide began to shift. But lets face it.. we are individuals, and the supporters of the illegal aliens are many, and have a whole.. lot,, of.. money.

And even as it IS weathering the slander and name calling from those people up there (the open border crowd) it is saving money as the welfare is cut back, and the illegal aliens leave town crime goes down. And while all that is there.. the self deportation is just excellent. The $94billion below is probably way to high: self deportation works!!
Cost of deporting… $94 billion.

This week, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) came out with a report entitled, The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on U.S. Taxpayers, which discusses the costs of unauthorized immigration to the United States. As usual, FAIR has put out a highly misleading fiscal snapshot of the costs allegedly imposed on U.S. taxpayers by unauthorized immigrants and completely discounts the economic contributions of unauthorized workers and consumers. Moreover, FAIR inflates their costs in a variety of ways and conveniently ignores any contributions that would offset these costs.
While the publication is long and deals with a wide range of issues that warrant more dissection by credible economic experts, the trade publication Education Week has already begun the deconstruction with an item that sheds light on their misleading claims about providing English language services in schools.
According to the Immigration Policy Center (IPC), FAIR's report suffers from three fatal flaws:
* The report notes that the single biggest “expense” it attributes to unauthorized immigrants is the education of their children, yet most of these children are native-born, U.S. citizens who will grow up to be tax-paying adults. It is disingenuous to count the cost of investing in the education of these children, so that they will earn higher incomes and pay more in taxes when they are adults, as if it were nothing more than a cost incurred by their parents.
* The report fails to account for the purchasing power of unauthorized consumers, which supports U.S. businesses and U.S. jobs.
* The report ignores the value added to the U.S. economy by unauthorized workers, particularly in the service sector.
In contrast to FAIR's report, the Perryman Group estimated that if all unauthorized workers and consumers were somehow removed from the U.S. economy, the United States would lose $552 billion in total economic activity (“expenditures”), $245 billion in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and 2.8 million jobs.” This doesn't count the billions it would cost to actually implement a mass deportation program.
Another argument FAIR makes, which makes it hard to glean what their solution would be is the high cost of deporting undocumented workers which FAIR blames on the immigrants themselves. It's a somewhat circular argument to say that the cost of undocumented immigrants includes the cost of failing law enforcement efforts. So, in essence, FAIR is saying that the deport-them-all approach costs too much money and doesn't work. Yet their “solution” is to spend even more money on enforcement.
FAIR's data is meant only to reinforce their vision of “attrition through enforcement.” It is not rooted in an effort to move the immigration debate forward. Therefore, passing comprehensive immigration reform – which would yield a cumulative $1.5 trillion in added U.S. gross domestic product over 10 years – is the only sound economic decision the United States can make.

Article 4 – States Relations
Article 4 Section 4: (Requires states and federal government to enforce border and internal security using state MILITIA or military.)
“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.”
Paraphrasing: “Arizona and every state in the Union, is responsible to every state in the Union, for securing our Union against INVASION and DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.”

Article III Section 2 Clause 2:
“In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction.” (See 11th Amendment)
Paraphrasing: USA (Obama/Holder) cannot sue Arizona in the US District Court in Arizona, thus the ruling and injunction by Judge Bolton is nullified, also the case cannot go to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. USA (Obama/Holder) will need to file suit in the US Supreme Court. SB1070 has gone into full effect.

The ignorance is yours. It has nothing to do with hate. Have your children lost out on education because the teacher spent too much time trying to help the children who don't speak english? There should be some benefit to being a natural born american citizen and american people are hurting because of the overcrowding. It's not hate. It's about americans being able to stay in there own country comfortably without having to struggle.

Arizona is going bankrupt with all the illegal immigrants sucking up all the freebies. At least our lawmakers had the guts to do something about it.They decided that the state and the safety of the people were more important than the ringing of the cash registers.It seems that the other states are more worried about the cash registers.When they wake up it will be too late.

If you want to see illegal immigration at it's best-take a look at California.
California is so broke that they couldn't build a $hithouse without federal money.

They need people to replace illegals for jobs? Just here in San Antonio we have about 340,000 homeless. Most of them citizens of the US looking for work. I am sure every major city has enough to fill up the 12 million open spots if they got rid of them all nationwide.

FACTS kudos to you for posting the information I think the ignorant and the biased population should read your comments and look at the facts themselves and shed this hatred and for the sake of gaining political mileage should drop the idea of changing the constitution they are doing this to save their seats in the senate etcThey are aware that with this they have lost the votes of one section of the society so they are trying to cling to the other.This country was build by the immigrants and if the anchor babies are to be dropped then they must start counting those also who have been here for generations and I am sure that they were also anchor babies
Comment posted August 5, 2010 @ 6:21 pm
A couple of your arguments are not even hers to buy in the first place. They find the illegals and hold them in cells, but they have been always reported to the Feds to get rid of them as the Feds say it is their job, but the Feds say we can't move that many so you need to hold onto them until we get around to it.
Comment posted August 5, 2010 @ 6:25 pm
Okay, you know nothing. They are trying to change the 14th for future anchors, not current. And this is to be a deterrent and drop illegal immigration crossings by 10-20% that all they come across for is to plop out a citizen. If they no longer have that as a choice, it will stop some of them. And the country was built on legal immigrants, who then later went and bought slaves. And once those slaves were freed, the 14th amendment was added to make THEM legal citizens…not people who run across a border and plop out a kid.

This is funny. It was said that Arizona have been spending 1.3 billion dollars per year to feed, educate, and provide medical care to illegal immigrants. If the negative impact in terms of economy is only a billion, therefore, Arizona is still saving in the tune of 0.3 billion dollars.
please don't sugar coat these illegal immigrants. We need immigrants. but they have to be documented and legal.
ILLEGALS ARE PARASITES! KICK THEM OUT!!!!

A birth per 14th Amendment defines jurisdiction as

Thus:
(USA)+(USA)+(ALIEN) = US DUAL CITIZEN
(USA)+(ALIEN)+(USA) = US DUAL CITIZEN
(USA)+(USA)+(USA) = US NATURAL BORN CITIZEN
(USA)+(ALIEN)+(ALIEN) = ALIEN
(FOREIGN)+(USA)+(ALIEN) = US DUAL CITIZEN
(FOREIGN)+(ALIEN)+(USA) = US DUAL CITIZEN
(FOREIGN)+(ALIEN)+(ALIEN) = ALIEN

14th amendment says you need to have documents saying you are not under the jurisdiction, such as a treaty with Department of the interior, like the Native Americans or Diplomatic papers with the state department, such as ambassadors, otherwise when you step on US soil you are under US jurisdiction. If crossing the border without papers puts you outside of US jurisdiction then they couldn't be arrested for anything by US agents, only by agents from there government.

14th Amendment says the soil(jus solis) and the blood(jus sanguinis) confer jurisdiction.
An alien entering the US is a transient person, not a permanent person like a citizen.
An alien can seek protection from their consulate.
An alien cannot be drafted into the US military.
The child is of the nationality of both parents.
If an alien is the parent of a child born in the US, then certain national rights are conferred to the child.
If one parent is a US citizen and the other alien, then the child is dual-national, with full rights to each nation.
If both parents are US citizens, then the child is a Natural Born Citizen.

Problem 1, This country was not built by the weak, but by Takers, and the law has always been the same, if you squat on someones land for 10 years and are not forced out, then the land is yours, so kick the illegals out if they have been here less than 10 years, the rest get papers,, this will go on forever, survival of the fittest 2. It's not the illegals that are going to bang you daughters and wives, 3. The baby boomer generation already messed up this country and gave it away to the Chinese and Arabs 4. The next generation needs to keep the good and get rid of the bad, America will always do the right thing after it has tried everything else

The fact that the law was not fully implemented will not altogether mend damage to Arizona’s reputation, said Mary Moreno, a spokeswoman for immigrant-friendly Center for Community Change.
==============================
Immigrant friendly? I would bet most people would call them illegal alien friendly. Mexico has more 'lobby' groups in town than the Catholic Church. But.. the law came out and the folks who supported the illegal aliens.. be darned the criminal activity… jumped all over the law and said it is RACIST..HATERS.. and then sat down to think up so more dirty names to call it on down the road. Then we discover almost everyone who DID call the law racist, and for haters, had not read it. Holy cow… including the Attorney General and the President of the United States. Soooo… people are still reacting to the thing while Mexico continues to fund the process of calling it racist, and a law for haters and everyone is suggesting that is what the law was all about. And of course.. it was not about that. But no matter… Arizona is still saving about 2.7 billion dollars a year now as a result of losing the illegal alien criminal sector of that society. Not only that, they can sleep without bars on the window such as they have all over the homes south of the border.
Hooo Ray for our side!! Boo for the propaganda machines that are using blatantly fake statistical evidence that folks are “….reacting..” to the Arizona Law and economic activity is down. Anyone notice there is a dilly of an economic recession going. Activity is down all along the border.. that isn't an effect of the law at all. It is down in AZ because Mexico is in worse shape than the U.S. In addition, it is an excellent guess that the Mexican Mafia is not centering its economic activity in Phoenix anymore.
There are LOTS of reasons for the downturn. That law, and particularly if we can get the rest of it in place, will encourage economic activity .. if for no other reason than that merchants won't have to pay the Mexican Mafia off to move their goods.
It is going to hurt as it starts. Keep that law in place, and the rules of conduct will be clear.. and that encourages economic activity. Those laws, by the way, are the reason so many want to be in this country. Mexicans don't want to fix their country.. they want to get out. We should want them to stay in, and that is what our government should be doing.

All of us have heard of the Constitution on this side of the border, and we are complying and supporting. You have suggested, without evidence (again) that something is amiss. You didn't even get close to supporting what you said.. at any point. You just sharps hoot with cute little sayings.

Clearly you don't know.. and I would guess you are commenting from Mexico. But most American have 'first settlers' blood in them. Further, every single one of the people in the Americas came from Europe, the Slavic areas of Europe, or Asia.
I think you can see that you are far, far better off in your own country arguing with people with comparable educations. And do that with the effort behind it asking for more required education in Latin America. Particularly, by the way, on the matter of Family Planning.

Wow! And thank you. I will use your post everywhere I can now. Thank you… and I looked at that law a dozen times trying to see a way around it. In its application, the lack of jurisdiction is clear!!!
Comment posted August 7, 2010 @ 12:11 pm
. If crossing the border without papers puts you outside of US jurisdiction then they couldn't be arrested for anything by US agents, only by agents from there government.
==============================
And illegal aliens are NOT arrested. They are detained.. detained and held in detention centers until they are returned to their own jurisdiction. Check the law.

What many do not understand when you have been victim of violent crimes, hurt, without work, & homeless you feel that most do not care. Thank you for caring for our well being. We are not being protected, our borders are not given the support, our law enforcement officers that are protecting us are not being supported, and many Americans are homeless with their children that cannot get work. Employers are not being held accountable and not hiring Americans. When we are victims of violent crimes by illegal aliens & gangs, we lose our work, cannot afford medical care, the offenders not held accountable, and we are retaliated against if we request help. Why are there so many illegals and why is our elected officials that are supposed to be serving American citizens not protecting & serving US? I wished those serving America would understand American citizens needs to have a way to live in their own Country, a way to support themselves, a way to receive medical care, educations, and work. Too many illegal aliens and gangs are running rampant all throughout America.

We have all been fond of office 2007 professional plus furniture haven’t we? With ms windows 7 designs available in all parts of Windows 7 Ultimate, Internet is one medium to choose the best Cheap Windows 7 at competitive prices and that too at a store near your Office 2010 Professional. Below http://hohosoftware.wordpress.com summarize some Microsoft Office 2010 to help you choose the best Office 2007 Enterprise for your corporate as well as office 2007 product key : Generally, while http://hohosoftware.blogspot.com are searching Office 2007 Key, we just type in our window 7 and start browsing the http://peaksoftwares.blogspot.com which appear in the Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise. But here is the Cheap Windows 7 : most of the searches we do without specifying a location with the purchase windows 7 , we end up wasting our time. Let http://peaksoftwares.wordpress.com take an example of windows 7 download . Now people go to Google and type “Windows 7 Ultimate ” and start browsing the Buy Windows 7 . They spend a lot of time finalizing Download Windows 7 but when they decide to contact the Win 7 for the price quotes and delivery time, they generally end up realizing that the Microsoft Windows 7 from which they had selected the Windows 7 , belongs to a different country and the buy microsoft office 2007 cannot export to a their Windows 7 Professional. The simple solution to Windows 7 Professional would have been, assuming that the Buy Windows 7 buyer resides in India, to search for the keyword “Microsoft Windows 7 India” or “Windows 7 Home Premium in India” instead of the keyword “Download Office 2010” because when the buyer searched for “buy office 2007”, sites from different countries showed up, microsoft office professional 2010 plus might have had good designs Office 2007 download were not available in window 7 but they were of no use. The purchase windows 7 advantage of using a location such as Office 2007 Ultimate, in case it suits the buyers, office professional 2007 plus can go and checkout their Office 2007 Key and maybe get a better design microsoft office downloads has recently become popular but is not ms office 2007 professional on the website.
