Consider the source (I haven't checked the statistics yet, but you can here). Russell Pearce, the architect of SB1070, which is now under consideration for its constitutionality by the Supreme Court, has an editorial in Town Hall showing that undocumented immigration is down only by .1% in the US in 2010, but down 23% in Arizona during the same time. It would not be surprising if SB1070 is working to deter LOTS of people, especially immigrants and people of color. Arizona is now a very scary place to be.

I am a professor in the Lynch School of Education and Human Development at Boston College, and director of the Curriculum & Instruction doctoral program. I have served as an associate editor at Child Development, Applied Psycholinguistics, and an editor at Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools. I was a bilingual teacher in Detroit, MI and have worked in district, state, and nonprofit settings. I work with bilingual learners from multilingual homes in K-8 settings, thinking about language use and development, cross-linguistic relations, instructional interventions, and teacher practice. I've published a bunch of articles and book chapters, and have developed language and reading curricula. I always work in close collaboration with teachers to facilitate the translation of research to practice.
