SF calls for boycott Arizona over immigration law

SAN FRANCISCO—San Francisco city officials are calling for a boycott of Arizona and businesses based there to protest that state's strict new immigration law.

The city attorney, Dennis Herrera, offered on Monday to help with any challenges to the law. He says his teams will start determining which contracts between the city and county of San Francisco and Arizona could be severed without penalty.

A rally outside City Hall called for immigration reform and applauded the city officials' stance. They say laws like Arizona's would lead to racial profiling, and only a path to legalization would shield immigrants.

Several city supervisors also promise to introduce a resolution calling for a citywide boycott of Arizona.

I’m going out on a limb here and say that if S.F. does indeed boycott Arizona, it’s a big win for Arizona.

We’d call for a boycott of SF but since nothing productive has come out of SF in the last 20+ years... it would be pointless.

Oh boy AZ, you really stirred the pot. Don’t let it bother you — it is only San Franfreakshow. C’mon Texas, p*ss off SF.

Here is an idea: How about we boycott Nazi Pelousi’s San Francisco instead?
After all, 60% of the voters back Arizona's illegal immigrant law. It's San Francisco that's out of touch.

What will SF boycott? No more purchases of buttless chaps from Arizona porn shops? No more blow up dolls? Does Arizona sell a lot of arugula?

Arizona should deport apprehended illegals to San Francisco.

Buy buses, fill 'em up, dump 'em in Frisco, repeat.

It’s time for conservatives to call for a nationwide boycott of San Francisco.

SF should just offer to take all the spare Illegals that AZ has or will find.

Not sure if we sell a lot of arugula but I just pulled some from my yard... we refer to them here as weeds.

Herrera and his ilk only serve to harm those they claim to champion by proposing a boycott of Arizona companies and government. He demonstrates respect for foreign nationals who have broken the law while disrespecting the Constitution, the laws of Arizona and the country, citizens, and legal aliens. Dennis Herrera's phone number is (415) 554-4700.

Wow. It just keeps getting better. Open carry/Concealed Carry without a permit, cracking down on illegals, requiring proof of natural born citizenship for presidential candidates, and now no Bay area morons to contend with.
