San Francisco Leads Charge to Boycott Arizona, But Calls Could Spark Backlash

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 Workgroup” to analyze if and how an economic boycott could backfire on San Francisco businesses. For instance, the city does business with a company that accepts and processes payments in Arizona. There's concern if the boycott is made uniform, 2,500 San Franciscans could lose their jobs.

So what's a liberal to do?

Go for principle or go for money?

well who works in the tourism and restaurant business in AZ? Illegals. Many might lose jobs, oh dear. :)

OK..how many would have been there for this?

We will just have to make up the dif and add some more!!!

Every one who intends on going to AZ for a trip should let the tourist people know ASAP of their intentions..or the AZ government..somebody.

Maybe the International Order of Fudge Packers will have to move their convention. Provincetown, Mass would be a great friendly place for them.

Works for me.

For that matter, boycott all of California.

There’s 49 other states to provide produce that CA has picked by illegals.

When you buy your produce, look and see where it comes from. No oranges from California, no whines from California etc.

Az grows quite a lot of produce.

That just might be a horror.

But I don’t watch TV anyway.

You know, I don’t think that the left realizes the power we can wield through boycotts. There are so few of them that their intimidation efforts will more than come back to bite them when grassroots America says “Enough!”.

For every conservative group they boycott, we can unboycott them and more than make up the business for them that they lost from the libs.

For that matter, I’m going to make a real concerted effort to buy American only. I really don’t care whether it costs more or not. In the long run, it’s going to end up being cheaper if we don’t have all those illegals to support on welfare, etc.

Good. Now conservatives can just vote with the wallets and stay the heck away from San Francisco and the Gaystapo.

I’m not sure. I’m not familiar with the Commerce Clause.

I will be more than happy to Boycott SF - being the cesspool that it is anyway.

Start by boycotting AZ’s electrical production, CA. See how that works out for you.

Nice having the place of origin listed on produce, isn’t it?

Let me be the first to say these people are just plain nuts.
Does anyone remember the book “The Last Great Days Of California” forecasting that this state will eventually slide into the Pacific due to an earthquake? ummmm. And it wasn’t fiction.
