YES: Enforcement works, will save state money, badly needed jobs.
The basis of the Arizona immigration law is the principle of attrition through enforcement. The intent section of the law says that “this act is to make attrition through enforcement the public policy of all state and local government agencies in Arizona.”
Attrition through enforcement means that when the immigration laws are enforced illegal aliens self-deport.
The passage of Arizona’s law and the threat of subsequent enforcement led to numerous stories of illegal aliens leaving Arizona. Enforcement works; legalization is a losing proposition.
Comprehensive immigration reform is 21st-century speak for legalization and amnesty. When the 1986 amnesty was proposed, about 1.5 million illegal agricultural workers were said to be eligible.
Over 3 million illegal aliens were eventually granted amnesty as a result of fraud and misrepresentations. By 1997, there were 5 million illegal aliens.
Today, we have 12 million to 20 million in the United States. Amnesty merely encourages more illegal immigration and does not solve the problem.
