Talk about inappropriate...Government entities actively encouraging and participating in an economic boycott against fellow Americans. Say what you want about the AZ immigration law, but this kind of hooliganism by governments is wrong.
Now, if you or a private group want to make a decision not to visit the Grand Canyon State, that's your business....
A Member of Congress FROM TUCSON is even encouraging a boycott of conventions. Can you believe it ? A Congressman destroying jobs in the hospitality industry....And for the race-based among you, I am sure the hotel jobs on the bubble are in many cases held by those who are black or Hispanic.
Lack of comity in our elected bodies...how about in our society.
SF Calls for Arizona Boycott NBC Bay Area

Comity? For the sake of racism and a few dollars in somebody's pocket?
You're better than that. Drop your "businessman' mantle and just where the one called "human". Remember Rosa Parks? It was a bus boycott that got the civil rights movement rolling. Not race based Jeff-it about human rights and this country (Arizona) not demanding papers like Nazi Germany. You're teabagger friends were quick to call Obama a Nazi over healthcare. Where are they now when they have a more clear cut comparison?...Yeah...I thought so.
Anonymous 12:05 has it right. People often complain that their government lacks principles or won't take a stand. Well, it looks like San Francisco recognizes that they serve a largely minority population and is willing to stand up and be counted as opposing dangerous and ill-conceived threats to the liberties of minority Americans.
In regards to the sidebar, River Phoenix died in 1993. He was a good actor and showed a lot of promise though.
...and is distributed by Anheiser-Bush...delivered by Teamsters, I think...
I don't believe the AZ law has been fairly represented in the media. People are making sweeping generalizations about how people are going to be rounded up on the basis of color and appearance. As facts catch up with media bias and foolish, knee jerk reactions by people who should learn more about the law before they decide, there may be some different views coming out. But why think when we can let MSM tell us how things really are. I've always looked to them and the City of San Franciso for political balance.

After all is said and done by talk radio,activists, cities,states,the federal gov't.,it's pretty evident that no-one entity wants to truly answer the question about how to really control the illegal alien problem.I have heard a few folks state that the real root of the problem lies with the companies,businesses,etc.,that hire illegal immigrants. Undoubtably, the is the primary cause of the problem. I think everyone knows that, but choose to side-step this reality, and secretly acknowledge, "adverse effect on comapny profits". I do not like the idea of building a wall along the border, as this would remind me of the old Soviet Union tactics. So I say to America, "quit ignoring the solution".
The Federal Government should be all over illegal immigrants running across the boarder. Why, because it is illegal! Our country is close to bankruptcy, American are homeless and jobless, plus the added burden placed on towns, hospitals, schools; coupled with gang land violence associated with drug trafficking leaves AZ with no choice.
The Federal Government has failed us with immigration reform. We do not feel the fears Americans have that live on the Mexican boarder. How would you and your family feel about illegal immigrants running through back yards at night, desperate people, and drug dealers carrying drugs and guns through your community?
My brother lives close to the Mexican boarder and it is no place to raise a family. Maybe AZ will force the US Government to clamp down on these illegal acts. We need to take care of Americans first and foremost!
Don't feel too sorry for the "homeless and jobless" in this country. A large portion of them are jobless because they don't want to work. My wife works as a cashier in a local Mart whose policy is to place a priority on hiring jobless and those on public assistance. The vast majority of those hired will work a few days and puposely and obviously steal some small item such as a pack of gum. They know the item is small enough it won't get em jailed, but it will get them fired so they can go back on wellfare. My wife gets rather tired of the endless line of welfare "recipiants" who buy the most expensive foods that she can't afford and then stand there and brag that they have never worked a day in their lives and never intend to, and you are working your butt off for $9 an hour to pay taxes so I can buy all this good stuff. There is even one co-worker of hers who bragged about moving back to N.Y. because he can get more welfare assistance here than about anywhere else in the country. As dispicable as the illegal worker situation is, the American businesses hire Mexicans because the have to hire SOMEBODY to do the work and the Mexicans are willing to actually work. There is a fairly simpple way to reduce the flood of illegals to a managable trickle, but in today's politically correct enviroment no politician would have the courage to impliment it. And today's squeamish, castrated public wouldn't stand for it.
9:25 and 9:59, to prove my point; why did a national grounds maintenance company get caught with undocumented mexican workers, working on a federal government installation, and nothing about it in the media,whatsoever? I suspect ,to pay far less wages and increase thier profit. What do you think? And you wonder why no-one has made the hiring of illegals,an issue.
