Thread: San Francisco Leads Charge to Boycott Arizona

San Francisco

Sanctuary city San Francisco is leading the charge in pressing municipalities and groups to consider a boycott of Arizona over its law that will allow police to ask people their immigration status.

Mayor Gavin Newsom this week suspended all non-essential travel for city employees going to Arizona, meaning no conference in Scottsdale next weekend for members of the city's housing authorities. The city's Board of Supervisors also has taken the first step toward an economic boycott, a move that could result in the suspension of existing contracts with Arizona-based companies and a ban on new ones.

But Newsom also has formed an "Arizona Boycott Workgroupâ€

Doesn't CA get it's water and electric from the Hoover Dam? Oops! Isn't half the Dam in AZ?

AZ can always send the inmates back to CA too. Maybe San Fran would like to take care of them?

Immigration lawyers canceling conference in AZ? LOL yeah an impartial group

Stay strong AZ!!

All this boycott talk is just a lot of hot air, nothing much will become of it imo.
