Thread: Arizona immigration law hits Latino businesses

Illegals and their anchor children fill Chuck E. Cheese on the weekends and most have wallets full of cash. They also are plentiful at the NC State Fair and other amusement parks. If they are getting paid cash and have free food, free medical, housing assistance, WIC etc. etc. they have plenty to spend on entertainment.

They are moving out? Where are they going ? Another reason for all states to pass a law like Arizona. Otherwise we are just pushing them around like checkers. Too bad about the car dealer. Drunken illegals with no license or insurance driving junk cars. How scary is that.

That car dealer sounded a little swarmy to me.

I really don't feel sorry for people who cater to illegal aliens. They are getting what they deserve.

As long as the states surrounding AZ don't heavily enforce immigration laws, the illegals will just shuffle around. I doubt hardly any of them are going to go back to Mexico.

I like how the play on the "hispanic buying power" along with "separating families".

Others are opting to stay put, while trying to limit their exposure to possible arrest -- a tactic that second-hand car dealer Richard Ruiz says has devastated his business selling cheap cars to low-wage migrants in the city.

"The people I sell to don't want to buy, they don't even want to drive," said Ruiz, 31, who sells clunkers he picks up at auction to migrants for $1,000 to $2,000.

"They're taking cabs now or asking people who have documents to drive them to work."

They should have been doing that all along, since they cannot drive legally unless they are legal. Who hasn't been hit by an illegal who then ran away? I have, and he got away with leaving the scene of an accident, the cop cut him a deal.

If you have to cater to illegals to stay in business, than you have no business being in business.

I doubt that many of these "Latino owned" businesses are paying all the sales and income taxes they owe anyway. The impact to Arizona will only be a net savings in free services and benefits to illegals.

The BOYCOTT of Arizona is going to hurt hispanic businesses. Most hispanics like to spend their money at hispanic owned stores. They buy hispanic products, hispanic business owners hire only hispanics.
These pro amnesty types keep creating hardships on themselves while trying to teach Arizona a lesson.

Where's the story about Hispanic businesses crowding out regular American business owners? Where's the story about Hispanic businesses taking over whole commercial districts? Where's the story about food sanitary violations and under-counter financial dealings, or about illegal drug sales at these places?
