Illegal Immigrants Planning on Leaving Arizona

I guess this law might actually achieve the goal of reducing the amount of illegals coming to America.

"Nobody wants to pick us up," Julio Loyola Diaz says in Spanish as he and dozens of other men wait under the shade of palo verde trees and lean against a low brick wall outside the east Phoenix home improvement store.

Many day laborers like Diaz say they will leave Arizona because of the law, which also makes it a state crime to be in the U.S. illegally and directs police to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal immigrants.

I wonder if these day labor positions could instead be filled full time by young African American males who are getting smacked down by this recession?
