All over Phoenix, you'll find yard sales, like this one -- Silvia Arias sells the possessions of four Hispanic families. They're undocumented, so they're moving some place else.

 

"Some are returning to Mexico," Arias said. "Some are moving to Albuquerque."

 

The new law -- requiring police to verify the legal status of immigrants -- has created a climate of fear.

 

"Everyone is migrating to other states to see if we can find a better life for our children," she said.
