Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the Los Angeles Unified School District [LAUSD] joined the city of San Francisco and West Hollywood and signed on to denounce SB 1070, the Arizona law that criminalizes undocumented immigrants.
...The boycott calls for a stop of any official county travel to Arizona, as well as a revision and end to any contract with that state.
...Meanwhile, Supervisor Mike Antonovich, who last week had come out against the proposal, calling it "stupid," ratified his position this week, adding that as elected officials they must uphold the law.
"We need solutions, not boycotts. Solutions, not more lawsuits," he said. "Legal immigration is the lifeblood of our country, but illegal immigration is illegal across the world."
He added Arizona should be commended for passing SB 1070 and for showing the need for immigration reform.
...Also against the boycott was Errol Valladares, member of the Los Angeles Chapter of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly.
"This boycott is going to hurt the very Latino people it alleges to help," said Valladares, who is of Guatemalan descent. "Los Angeles County shouldn't meddle in or interpret Arizona law. This boycott is not going to changeArizona law."

Hey California, do you like electricity?
“Just pull the lever on the power they source from AZ..”
I’ll suggest it again. Shut the transmission lines down for a few days of “routine maintenance.”
Those video reports are frightening!!!
LA is overrun by illegals, spray paint, guns, gangs and all the other 3rd World flora and fauna you can imagine.
Nice to know what the future holds. How about we give LA over to the Mexies now?

Give the city and they will want the country.
As far as I know, electrical power is under the jurisdiction of L.A. City government, not the County. L.A. City derives 25% of its power from Arizona, but as already discussed AZ could not be authorized to cut it off.
Sadly yes....our grandson age 11. Would to God that we could afford Christian School. We cannot physically homeschool and feel ripped up inside right now.
I absolutely abhor our school district.
Now how to fight this current garbage !!! Maybe move?
I have a feeling the citizens of AZ are going to be taking fewer trips to California this summer and instead will be seeing the sights in their own state, such as the Grand Canyon. In the long run, this immigration law could even give an economic boost to AZ as conservative citizens from throughout the US specifically choose AZ as a travel destination, to offset the impact of left-wing boycotts.
I bought a 3 year old Airstream trailer in April of this year. I have been updating it and looking to freshen her up.
I called the parts department of an Airstream dealer in California. I had them give me their prices for a large list of items.
When the gal was ready to take my order, I told her thanks for the time, but that I was going to order my parts from a dealer in Arizona because of their dumba$$ boycott.
I asked her to be sure to tell her boss that this was the reason they missed out on a $3,000 order. I told her that I was going to get as many people as I can to do the same thing....
Do it... it’s fun.
This does raise the question of why they were spending so much money in AZ in the first place. Shouldn’t L.A. County be supporting our own state’s economy?
Contact APS (majority owner of Palo Verde generating station) and encourage them to pull the lever!
Maybe move up to the Thousand Oaks area or Ventura county. You can still get into downtown LA fairly quickly from there and you wouldn’t have to put up with the awful LA schools.
We are trying hard to look at private schools for next year. However we are on a fixed income and in our 70’s and raising a 11 year old grandson. Not easy.
Now let’s be fair, they were being good libs spreading the debt around...
Sad, yes!! But he will get the truth at home. Let’s be fair though. Public school has always been propaganda; it’s just a different brand now.
That is THRILLING. Fun, yes!!
I bet that Airsteam dealer is a right winger may be even a Freeper.
If the LAUSD makes absurd claims, you just know the kids are being taught horse sh*t.
