Schools: Immigrant families leaving Arizona because of new immigration law

The Arizona Republic

Reports are surfacing around the Valley that illegal-immigrant families with school-age children are fleeing Arizona because of a new immigration law.
<snip>

Teachers and principals at Alhambra elementary schools in west Phoenix, for example, are saying goodbye to core volunteer parents, who tell them that the new migration law threatens their family stability and that they must leave. The district expects the new law to drive out an extra 200 to 300 students over the summer.
<snip>

For every net decline of one student, a school loses an average of $4,404 in state money. The total amount of funding for the 170,000 children of immigrants is about $749 million, or 16 percent, of the state's education budget.

Suriano's husband has been in New Mexico for two weeks, looking for an apartment and a job. She is packing up their Phoenix apartment. "He tells me over in New Mexico, it is like here when we first came: There is no fear and they treat you like human beings."

<Ed. to add:>

The intent of the Arizona anti-immigrant law, from its text:

Section 1. Intent

The legislature finds that there is a compelling interest in the cooperative enforcement of federal immigration laws throughout all of Arizona. The legislature declares that the intent of this act is to make attrition through enforcement the public policy of all state and local government agencies in Arizona. The provisions of this act are intended to work together to discourage and deter the unlawful entry and presence of aliens and economic activity by persons unlawfully present in the United States.

heh.

hell, i'm just a dumb country boy...

but wasn't getting the illegals to leave the state the whole point of this exercise?  mission accomplished.


and now that they are?  

texas?  new mexico?  colorado?  its your problem to deal with now.  

this reminds me of the time i lived in that studio apartment in boston, all of those interconnected buildings, when one tenant would fire off a "bug bomb" to evict the cockroaches?  all of the other connected buildings would "reap the rewards" of that bug bomb.

good luck, texas, new mexico and colorado.

now you can pass similar laws...  or just learn to live with your new found "bugs"...

So, contrary to the experts, it is working. I don't think Ap will use the word  'unexpectedly.'

I have $20 that says they never use the word 'working', unless it is to discribe those "hard working immigrants without papers" that this unfair, fascist law is driving back to their home *******ed countries shitholes.

[The Village Idiot]

Saving $749 million a year just in the education budget sounds awesome to me. How much will they save from welfare and keeping the illegal criminals locked up?

Theoretically, if a child is no longer attending school, then the school should not long need the money it is given to educate that child, correct?  So a 16% decrease in funding would be matched by a 16% decrease in attendance, and therefore should not have a negative impact on the remaining students.  Why is this a bad thing?

[Chris_]

That's just not fair... you're asking liberals to apply common sense and basic math.  You meanie.

Not to mention the savings from not having the whole litter going to the ER for their "health care", decreased crime, etc, etc....

Arizona just struck gold, the rush is on!

That's just about as bad as asking liberals to apply basic sense and common math....

A DUmmie's mental elevator just doesn't go to those floors....

[AllosaursRus]

DUmpster DIvers are sure the rest of the kids will suffer because of the lost revenue! Never once figuring out the burden on the locals has diminished.

DUmmies can't see the forest for the trees, but that doesn't matter....

They like trees....

[sofa king]

imagine all of the crime gone.

imagine all of the burden of supporting social services for illegals gone.

imagine all the people...  just working and carrying on with their lives, living a normal american existence...


♪♪♪  you *hoo* *hoo*

but i'm not the only one,

i hope someday all illegals,

Less students=less teachers=less liberals=less democrat stupidity=better overall quality of life in AZ.

win win win win win

win win win win win

Fewer students, same budget=more money per student=better education....or at least that's what the DUmmies tell me.

Have to agree - I also suspect that the migration will result in more border states passing similar laws - which is the best win of all.

If the USA enforces the already existing laws, this problem will sort itself out. But since it won't, (not just blaming Obama either, GW Bush was just as bad in this instance) states need to step up to the plate.

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

The ****ing law was only meant to empower the cops to research immigration status if they had probable cause.

But thanks to the fascists-draconian imagery the liberals have been bleating and lying for the last month or so the have convinced the illegals that the law is far more invasive than it is. So now the illegals are running scared because it's the liberals that have scared them. Too bad--for them--they don't trouble themselves to learn English.

Thank-you lying liberals and ignorant immigrants...we couldn't have done it without you.

 

BTW liberals - if you ever do manage to give them amnesty I wholly intend to capitalize on the fact most Hispanic illegals are Catholic.

buh-bye abortion and gay "rights".

****ing morons

This was the same thing that 'went wrong' with Prop 8 in California. Catholics don't like gay marriage (Hispanics are overwhelmingly Catholic) and neither do blacks.

lets look at a gay pride parade picture..... This is from Boston..


How many people of color do you see here ? Well ? Looks like a clan rally with rainbow flags to me..
Obviously, the gay movement is a white power movement !!!! RACISTS !!!!!!11!!!!

Went to a funeral Mass last night for one of our priest's mother.....he is from Mexico. We have a very large number of Mexican parishioners. Many were there with their children last night....LOTS of children. Most people of Mexican heritage are very, very devout Catholics.

Questions for Miskie.

Religion, or lack thereof. Most people with ethnic heritage from southern Europe are very Catholic (Spain, Italy, Portugal etc.. Thats the basis of the South American Hispanic population- especially Spain and Portugal). And most blacks are also fervently Christian. Those few who aren't are Muslim.

Of course, there are other faiths, as well as non faith mixed in there, but the above is true for the majority.
