Quartzsite is a good place for Arizona to start rounding up white illegals

Edited: I was thinking of Quartzite, not Slab city.

LIKE a vast lumbering herd, caravans and mobile homes clog the modest two-lane highway over the high sierra to a small desert crossroads that marks journey's end for one of the biggest mass migrations in history.

As the harshest winter in five years bites America's northern and Mid-Western states, the town of Quartzsite, Arizona, has briefly become the fastest growing place in the United States.


The handful of hard-pressed staff at the town hall can only guess at the numbers congregating at the camp sites lining the two-mile main street. They estimate that, last month, Quartzsite's population touched 1.8 million, eclipsing Phoenix, Arizona's biggest metropolis.

The new arrivals, known as "snowbirds", swell the resident population of 2,109 in an annual phenomenon that each winter sees millions of otherwise staid Middle American couples abandon their homes to seek adventure and sunshine on the open road.

1. I thought the slabs were in California?
Actually Niland, California. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x8219332

They even have their own website. :-)
