02/03/2008: "Driven out by other states, immigrants flood Texas"

Illegal immigrants are flowing into Texas across its long borders. But they aren't just swimming across the Rio Grande from Mexico or making dangerous treks through the rugged desert.

Instead, a new rush of illegal immigrants are driving down Interstate 35 from Oklahoma or heading east to Texas from Arizona to flee tough new anti-illegal immigrant laws in those and other states.

[ The anti-immigrant laws work. Unless you don't have any, like Texas. ]
