Sure there is no way to know for sure how many illegals are moving to Cali or anywhere. Hell, there is no fool proof way of knowing how many illegals are even in any state at any give time. So all of it is just an estimation.
I also realize that many other states are moving to to pass similar laws and I can't blame any of the state surrounding AZ for doing that. Logic would tell you that illegals are leaving AZ for states that are going to be more friendly to them so those states surrounding AZ are now going to act and try to pass their own laws to help protect themselves. I don't blame them. I actually like the law other than the part of it that forces legal immigrants to carry their papers on them 24/7.
That doesn't change my opinion on what the city of LA has done. They are going to get more illegals in that city because of the AZ law. Anyone can assume that. It will happen because illegals will now not go to AZ, but instead Cali and some of those in AZ are now moving to Cali so the city of LA has decided that if AZ is going to shift the burden of dealing with a lot of these illegals to them, the are not going to reward them by giving spending money with AZ based businesses. I'm sure some of it has to do with them just not like the law and thinking it is immoral. But I think a lot of it has to do with them just being pissed that the illegal problem is being shifted to them and they are too spineless to enact a similar law so they are going to take a hit in the budget for it.
