Cancel Arizona travel, Minneapolis mayor urges

Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak has urged department heads and other city officials to cancel any pending official travel plans to Arizona in the wake of new immigration legislation in that state.

Rybak urged city officials to find alternate ways of accomplishing the same business ends without traveling to the state. Arizona law makes it a state crime to be in the country illegally and authorizes police officers to ask people for proof of citizenship and hand illegal immigrants over to federal enforcers.

“This is a terrible law, and I do not want any public dollars to be spent there,” Rybak said. “Furthermore, I am deeply concerned that this terrible policy could put our city employees who might be traveling there on official business at risk of being unlawfully racially profiled, detained or harmed.”

I would urge a boycott of Minneapolis, but it would be redundant, because nobody — and I mean NOBODY — wants to go to Minneapolis.

Note to self.

Boycott Minneapolis and San Fransisco all the way to my grave.

Any other @sshole cities or states that are against protecting Americans in Arizona against the damn illegal alien criminals?
