" BROWN FLIGHT " A LEGISLATED MANDATED RECESSION

    
Phoenix, AZ: Much like the " White Flight" of Caucasian People from the inner cities to the suburbs, during the 1960's, Migrant Hispanic workers are leaving Arizona in droves. The transfer of a large portion of Arizona's laborers to other states is happening now.

 According to the Laundry Mat Association business at some laundry mats in Migrant neighborhoods, business  is down 30%. Also in the same neighborhoods Mini Storage facilitates  that once reported they were at 100% occupancy are down to 80% and less . Why, because the "Brown Flight" is happening now.( Migrant workers leaving)

A Phoenix contractor who has a fleet of work trucks that he trades for new vehicles every two years.  When he went to a large Phoenix Ford dealer, who he dealt with regularly. He was told that his trucks had a low trade in value. Why, because the dealer on Van Buren who normally buys the work trucks wasn't buying them from the Ford Dealer. The dealer on Van Buren had seen a drop off in his migrant customers. " Brown Flight" ( Migrant workers leaving)

This year the State of Arizona reported the lowest unemployment on record of 3.3% That represents people looking for work. Drive around and one cannot avoid seeing the help wanted signs. Already there is a shortage of laborers.

 The housing market will drag down the Arizona economy. One cement curbing contractor closed his business due to the housing slow down. He moved to Scottsdale to be closer to his new job. He has a house in Maricopa, that he is renting, but his new income and rent is not covering his bills. He fears he will end up losing his house.

Arizona is headed for the perfect storm. A slower economy, the collapse of the housing market and the loss of the major source of cheap labor. The Brown Flight will cause the Arizona economy to see RED. Arizona will have it's own recession and State Tax Revenues will fall dramatically affecting everyone in the State of Arizona.

Illegal immigration needs to be eliminated. The State legislators have expressed that the Federal Government has failed in it's Immigration Policies.

 This was the reason for the State employer sanctions bill. While that law is half of the equation, the legislators have failed to answer the rest of the equation. They have not established any program to allow immigrant workers to be legally in the State of Arizona.  Thus pushing Arizona's Economy into a Legislated Mandated Recession.

Israel offers Palestine Migrant laborers a work program for them to provide workers for Israel. A workers program can be established.

Hopefully Arizona's legislators will wake up before Arizona's economy takes the impending dive. Two years in a labor shortage caused recession will change their minds.
