Boycott Over Immigration




The New York Times had an interesting article about advocacy groups calling for an economic boycott of Arizona over their Immigration Law. Whats even more interesting is that the San Francisco city attorney Denis Herrera along with members of the Board Of Supervisers called for a halt in business done with companies in Arizona.

Personally, I think the boycotts a good idea, but at the wrong time. With every state trying to recover after the recent recession, keeping trade out would only hinder them even more. The article even states,


"At the Arizona Inn in Tucson, the manager, Will Conroy, said that over the weekend 12 customers canceled reservations or said they would not return to the state because of the law. "

I think its great people all over are protesting this unfair law, but don't unfairly punish the state. Its wrong to group them all together that way.
