What some do not seem to undertand about Arizona is this, one of our biggest industries here is Tourism. What those that advocate for boycott do not seem to understand is that for the most part by harming those businesses here they also harm thevery people they claim to be supporting. So tell me how is that supporting the cause if immigrants? I seen few if anyone speaking on behalf of people that have to live in poverty for the most part, and are in a lot of cases abused by their own kind as slaves for American labor or used as political tools. I see little if any sympathy for the Americans and Arizonians that are murdered each year by illegals due to the drug trade, drunk driving, guns, etc. Where is the outrage for this? If you really wanted to boycott something and make a difference how about a boycott of your congress and advocate they get off their backsides and actually enforce the laws of the land for a change and secure our nations borders and end this slavery. Want to cause Arizona economic harm be my guest, that harm cuts both ways and you might want to keep that in mind and actually read the Arizona law before you start to advocate for slavery!! because that is EXACTLY what you are doing.
This is not just about immigrants its about latinos whos families have been Americans for generations.
You just refuse to understand who is pissed off here.
It will cost your party deeply in November
Truth, please point in SB -1070 where it singles out latinos , hispanics, or any ethnic group. It's my belief that it is you who misunderstand who is upset here , not me. Latino, White, Black, Brown, you call it, if your an American does not mean a thing to me, what does matter here is that those same Americans and Arizonans have had enough of an apathetic Federal Govt. that has allowed this institution of illegal immigration to continue by not enforcing the laws that have existed for years. I have read the bill many times and live in Arizona and have lived here for many years since I retired and can tell you that not just "white guys" make up the entire population that support this bill . Let me ask you something, how do you tell, the AZ. DPS Officers wife that her husband was killed by a man that should never have been in this country in the first place? or the rancher who went of give water to someone and was killed for his kindness? or the wife of an illegal immigrant whos husband died in the desert in 100 plus degree heat because he was crossing the border illegally? I'm sorry my friend but it is you who misunderstand what is going on here, this is a HUMAN tragedy that can be avoided if we would simply just enforce the law of the land. It is a matter of fact that Arizona is close to Mexico and not Canada or any other nation for that matter, so it stands to reason that the vast majority of people that would be caught up in this instituion would be from that region. that is not being racist it is stating a fact. SB-1070 is a bill that supports Federal Law and frankly if it were as bad as people make it out to be , then you who are against it would be on the steps of the capitol calling for the repeal of the same laws it plans to enforce, because that is all it does. As for the election, all this is going to do is energize people who are fed up with the murders, property damage, drug trade, and institutional slavery , so it remains to be seen who , but would not be making bold statements on the Nov. election, especially here in Arizona with a 70% backing, and 56 to 60% national approval rating.
