Well, I’ll be darned. Apparently, if you actually enforce the laws and go after the employers for illegally hiring illegal aliens, the incentive of coming here dries up and the illegal aliens self-deport. Imagine that. (hat tip: MM) Then the employers will be forced to pay a decent wage, and legitimate legal immigrants and American citizens will take those jobs, just as they’re doing in Oklahoma.

April 24, 2008Illegals Ask Sheriff’s Office For A Ride Home to Mexico
(Phoenix, AZ) In a strange turn of events, four illegal aliens seeking but not finding employment in Maricopa County, approached a Sheriff’s deputy and asked to be returned home to Mexico. The illegals admitted to the deputy that had recently entered the U.S. illegally and were in the Aguila area, west of Phoenix, seeking work.
A Human Smuggling unit detective trained in immigration matters was called to the scene and processed the four men. Customs officials then took them back to Mexico.
The Aguila area has seen a flurry of law enforcement assistance by the Sheriff’s Office recently. Deputies have been asked by residents there to have a stronger presence in the community because of the problems related to illegal immigration there.
