Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva Wants You To Boycott His State's Racist Law!

I support boycotting Arizona because I think that immigration law they passed is quite racist.Despite what Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer says,this will open the door to legalized racial profiling.Anyone that has an accent in the state of Arizona better watch out.Especially if you are Hispanic.

I think that there has to be a better way to control illegal immigration than this.And until Arizona figures out what the right method is,I believe that we should all stop doing business with Arizona.

Boycott Arizona!

Here's more from CBS News:

"Lawmakers in San Francisco today will vote on a citywide boycott of the state of Arizona, in protest of its new illegal immigrant law that has spurred a backlash across the country.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Friday signed into law a measure that would require immigrants to carry documents verifying their immigration status. It would also require police officers to question a person about his or her immigration status if there is "reasonable suspicion" that person may be illegally in the country.

Activists and politicians in Arizona and elsewhere have vowed to continue fighting the law. While it is sure to face legal challenges, Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva (D) has also called for a boycott of his state's goods, services and tourism. In his call for the boycott, Grijalva cited an Arizona boycott in the 1990's that persuaded the state to recognize Martin Luther King Day.

Following that logic, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors today will consider a resolution that would call for the city to end any and all contracts with Arizona-based companies and to stop doing business with the state, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

"We want to send a message," Supervisor David Campos reportedly said to a rally gathered in front of San Francisco City Hall. "There are consequences when you target a whole people."

Campos said it's still unclear how exactly a boycott would impact San Francisco, the Chronicle reports, but he added, "We do know that we won't be sending any city employees to conferences in Arizona."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
