From 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.
Some school officials say enough parents and students have told them they plan to leave the state this summer to indicate Hispanic enrollment could drop at some schools. But there's no way to know exactly how many illegal immigrants will depart because schools do not inquire about a student's or a family's legal status.

An example: Claudia Suriano is sitting with four fellow school volunteers at Brunson-Lee Elementary in Phoenix's Balsz district. She is among three who are leaving the state. Two others say their families are still debating.
Suriano is a Phoenix mother of two whose husband just quit a good job as a roofer after five years.
While he has survived atop Valley houses for five summers, he could not stand the heat of the new immigration law.
"He feels so stressed that he's not a citizen. He feels it's going to catch up to him," said Suriano, 27, who also is undocumented. "He speaks excellent English, but he feels a pressure they're going to find out what his status is here, and it's too great a weight for him."Read more: http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2010/05/28/20100528arizona-immigration-law-schools.html#ixzz0pIs8H6yB

Well, it seems like the law is working as designed. Illegals are moving out of Arizona and are either moving to other states or Mexico.
The people complaining are the schools because they are losing money because they are losing students. Boo-hoo. Maybe this is why liberals object to the law. It costs schools money and cost some businesses money. They don't care about security, just money.
