Thread: L.A. Councilwoman Hahn calls for boycott of Arizona

COMMENTS ON THIS ARTICLE ARE MOSTLY AGAINST HER.....
Here's a sample: "Such a bold, inspired move -- right! Concentrate on governing Los Angeles which has tremendous debt loads, bloated union contracts and is on the brink of insolvency. But yes, divert attention from the problems here to the state next door. Leave AZ take care of it's own issues and get back to minding the inept store which Hahn has had a part in creating."

L.A. Councilwoman Hahn calls for boycott of Arizona after recent passage of tough immigration law

April 27, 2010 | 10:33 am

Los Angeles City Councilwoman Janice Hahn waded into the national debate over illegal immigration Tuesday, announcing that she intends to call for the city to boycott the state of Arizona in response to a newly passed law requiring immigrants to show proof of citizenship.

Hahn, who is running for lieutenant governor, said she would ask her colleagues on the council to take steps that would require all city departments – including the Port of Los Angeles, Los Angeles World Airports and the Department of Water and Power – to end any contracts with Arizona-based companies and stop doing business with the state.

The proposal will be introduced during Tuesday’s council meeting and debated on May 4, according to a statement issued by Hahn.

Arizona lawmakers recently passed legislation that would make it a crime to be in the state illegally and requires law enforcement officers to check the legal status of those they suspect are undocumented. The legislation would also bar people from soliciting work or hiring workers under certain circumstances.

Hahn’s proposal drew fire from former mayoral candidate Walter Moore, who unsuccessfully pushed for a ballot measure to allow the Los Angeles Police Department to arrest, deport, prosecute and imprison gang members who are in the country illegally, even if they are not accused of another crime.


Moore said the council should address a projected $485-million budget shortfall before taking a stand on laws in other states.

“They can’t even balance their books and yet they can issue edicts about far-flung jurisdictions,â€

How's tourism to LA Hahn? How many celebs are leaving the area? Think before you speak, you ignorant toady!

Boycott SF and LA, vacation in Arizona instead!!

I think she should be sued in a heartbeat for violation of interstate commerce if she tried to do the things she is threatening.
The City of Los Angeles too.

What a loose cannon. :P

I guess CA won't be getting any water or power from the Hoover Dam then, eh? After all half of it is in AZ.

We all know why she is doing this.

She is running for Luitenant Governor against Gavin Newsome.

What a disgrace to California.

Actual Taxpaying American citizens are fleeing CA. and NY. because of "Sanctuary Policies". Time will tell the story of how such "policies" brought about the downfall of both States. That "Time" is approaching much faster than those allowing this travesty expected.
