Burning Atlanta

All of this it totally expected and predicted. The "boo-hoo-ers" always sing the same sad bogus song. "Revenues will drop. It sends the wrong message to business and foreign investors. It's racist. Businesses are shutting down..." YAWN.

Yes, some businesses that cater to illegal aliens will close. GOOD. Revenues will drop as illegals leave to spend money elsewhere, hopefully in their home countries. BUT expenses for illegals will also drop. Less money spent on free lunch programs, less money spent on educating illegals, less money spent on unreimbursed medical care. Less crime/fewer criminals,  less money spent on law-enforcement costs. It's a two-sided coin. 

The free ride is coming to an end.

 Business at Pedro Vargas' store, Club Video Mexico, has slid so steeply that only eight people walked through the door one day last month.

One thing he has been selling, however, are one-way bus tickets from northern Virginia to Texas and Mexico. Soon he'll be getting his own ticket out of town--seeking a friendlier and more lucrative place to do business.

"The last few months have been very, very bad for us," said Vargas, who plans to move this summer from Prince William County, about 25 miles southwest of Washington, to Utah, where he recently opened another store.

Many say Prince William's new crackdown on illegal immigrants has created an environment so unfriendly that Hispanic people are leaving the county of more than 350,000, which according to the U.S. Census Bureau was nearly 15 percent Hispanic in 2006. I don't want to see "Hispanic people" leave. I want to see illegal aliens LEAVE.
