A major exodus is taking place in North Carolina. Illegal aliens are leaving in droves. The bad economy coupled with laws that prohibit the issuance of driver’s licenses to “non-documented persons” have made life a bit tougher for those who have no regard for our immigration laws. The Newsobserver.com reports:
Many of the ones who are leaving are in the country illegally, Velicquez said. Because of changes in the law, they can no longer get driver's licenses, which makes it nearly impossible to work. And they worry about getting caught, arrested and deported, earning criminal records that would make it even harder to ever get legal papers.
"If you're struggling, they're struggling twice as hard," said Leo Reich, Latino director for Neighbor to Neighbor ministries in Raleigh. "Economically, it hits them twice as hard. It was hard for them before, and now the jobs they were able to get are being taken by [Americans], who are now willing to work at those jobs when they weren't willing to before.
During the boom years, bus loads of illegals invaded North Carolina. Now, they are using the same company that brought them here to go back to Mexico.
Ten to 20 people a day from North Carolina board buses run by Tornado Bus Co. headed for Mexico, said Maria Velicquez, assistant manager for the company's Raleigh office. That's a big turnaround from when Tornado came to North Carolina during the economic boom 15 years ago, bringing busloads of immigrants into the state every day.
This company is obviously trafficking in illegal aliens. Why isn’t anyone investigating these scoundrels? Is it any wonder that they have such a blatant disregard for the law?
They estimate that we have about 13 million illegal aliens in this country. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, North Carolina has its fair share:
There's no way to know how many Hispanics have left since last April, when the U.S. Census Bureau found 800,120 Hispanic people in North Carolina, compared to 378,963 in 2000, a 111 percent increase. In 2000, Hispanics made up 4.7 percent of the state's population; in 2010, they were 8.4 percent
Come and visit a construction site in Mecklenburg County. You wouldn’t know there was an exodus taking place. Most of the workers are illegals, who can’t speak a bit of English. If you want to see a true exodus, start taking away business licenses from companies that hire them. The Tornado Bus Company will have a “Help Wanted” poster on their front doors.
