Phoenix Mayor Says Boycott Causing "Near Economic Crisis"

[WillowTree]

Yes, Willow, it is just you. The rest of us realize that the idea of a officer being able to stop you for no reason, demand papers, and take you to jail if you do not have proof of citizenship on your person is antithetical to our legal traditions.

can you show me the text of the Arizona law that stipulates they can do what you have described? Or, are you like Eric Holder? Clueless as to what the law says can and cannot be done?

 

[Harry Dresden]

No, not so far. It was just a political move that will probably end the governor's career

yea more shit from Rdeans Left Nut.....i just saw on NBC news Brewers Approval ratings have gone from 40% last month to 56% now.....gee imagine Political Junkies surprise....a Gov. with enough guts to tell the Feds to either do your jobs or get the fuck out of the way....they sure as hell did not have that when the big cheese at HS was the Gov......this womans got more balls than any Legislature in my State....thats for dam sure....

The City of Phoenix -- a convention hot-spot -- is facing a "near economic crisis" caused by lost revenue stemming from organizations canceling events in response to Arizona's controversial immigration law, according to its mayor. <more>

most of us said that would happen the day the law was signed into law.

*shrug(

And yet the law is almost VERBATIM the Federal law. You people are ADMITTING you would rather have illegal aliens in the Country then do anything like ENFORCE the law.

Is the law making a difference? Are officers really stopping people and finding illegals? Haven't see much about this, just a lot demonstrations and boycotts,

pssst...skippy, its not law yet. Idiot....

And yet the law is almost VERBATIM the same as the federal Law. You support illegal aliens and want our Government to do nothing to enforce our laws. RETARD.

Obviously Cons wanted it this way since they did nothing about it when they had power.
Except for Reagan, of course, who granted amnesty to millions of illegals.

 

[Flopper]

Yes the law is working great. Just not in the way most of us thought it would. What will happen when the businesses in Phoenix fall on hard times? They will cut employees. Where are the illegals going to go to find work? Can you say Los Angeles? This law was brilliant.

Maybe, I missing it, but I haven't see any article about arrests as result of the new law.

Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon on Tuesday conceded he didn't have enough City Council support to mount a legal challenge to the new Arizona immigration law but said the city charter gave him the authority to sue the state on behalf of the city.

Hmm, I wonder if Ol' Phil has an agenda...

wow...jillian's so smart!!!

here's another headline....

"AZ Governor Doesn't Care About Convention Cancellations"

I think she's more concerned about upholding the laws of this land, put in place to protect it's citizens.

She will care pretty soon, they did back in the 80s.

 

[hortysir]

Laws don't go in to effect immediately following a signature.
Without looking, it probably goes into effect July1 or Jan 1

That is completely false. There has to be a "reasonable suspicion" that a law is being broken, ie speeding and etc. Federal law already requires resident aliens to carry registration documents. SB 1070 makes it a state crime to violate the federal law. This has been a law since the 40's but keep up the lies.
With all the gnashing of teeth by the left, I have seen 2 questions unanswered:

1.What can any Arizona law enforcement official do under the Arizona immigration law that a federal law enforcement official cannot already do?
&#8232;
2. What requirement does the Arizona law place on any non-citizen living in Arizona that federal law does already not place on any non-citizen living elsewhere in the United States?

The FACTS are that this bill mirrors federal law that was not being enforced.

Your spin is as bad as Obama's ice cream shop analogy. With the lies stated regarding this bill, USMB should change the name to the internet Enquirer.

I think it goes into effect 90 days after Brewer signed it, but I could be wrong.

 

[momonkey]

uh oh...better turn it back over to the illegals! who's gonna cut the grass?

Americans cut the grass before the illegals came here and do it for 10 cents to the dollar the American's use to get paid. They say Americans won't do this work. This is Bullshit Americans will do this work for a good wage not the Illegal wage that the job is paying now!!! Once you give these people Amnesty they will be no use to the illegal employer who they are working for now. These illegals will want benefits and more money and will be let go for the new crop of illegals that will come here and replay the old illegals who will then be unemployed.

I cut grass as a way to make extra money and I could charge more if I didn't have to compete with companies that employ illegals.

Keep in mind that a large portion of the money illegals earn is sent home to Mexico. That takes it out of our economy with no taxes being paid on those wages either.

NICE TRY--BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT THE ARTICLE STATES---

In the wake of the bill's passage last month, immigration rights leaders, including Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), have called for a nationwide boycott of the state. This week, at the request of Mayor Phil Gordon, a study was presented to the city council on the potential economic impact of canceled trips.

In Other Words--this was a study--as yet NO ONE has cancelled a convention.


If you're NEW on this board--you must actually READ the links that liberals post--because they have a habit of trying to make a statement about a linked article that is simply not TRUE. This one is a good example.

 

[hjmick]

I wonder if a representative who calls for a boycott of his own state could be subject to recall?

Phil is trying to sue the state to get the law overturned. He's a leftist moron. His own city council told him to FO. Who cares what he thinks?

Gordon, however, vowed to bring a privately funded suit on behalf of the city seeking an injunction against the law. Those words triggered cheers from opponents of the legislation that evolved into a small but boisterous rally outside the City Council Chambers.

Yeah--that's fairly below the belt--and you can bet he's certainly not well thought of by the business community or other political figures in Arizona.

In fact, I bet this backfires big time. California calling for a boycott just may be surprised to learn that many conventions that were planned in CA are cancelling to go to AZ--

The arrogance of another state to put out a boycott against another is repulsing.

That's just it---this guy is STUPID enough to put out a boycott in his own state. It's recall time--this guy is basically a traitor to the financial well being of his own constituents. Unblievable IGNORANCE.
