Austin Texas vowed to boycott and end all business ties with the government of Arizona.

Later reported that the City of Austin has NO business ties with the government of Arizona and the City Council was informed of that before their vote.

So..it's a big boycott of "nothing".

This is a moral issue of equal treatment for all Americans. Haven't you stopped to think that they may have a point?
Are you serious? No one has been able to explain what part is unconstitutional, not even Attorney General Eric Holder. He is against the law, but admitted never reading the ten page law. I would love someone to tell me which part is unconstitutional and I will have no problem opposing this law.

Mahoney should spend more time weeding out the child rapists in the church instead of protecting them. he needs to mind his own business.

No, more like pimping for votes. They gotta keep their names in the press some way. Even though most American are for the law, any press is good press. Well, at least to a politician.

Holder Admits to Not Reading Arizona's Immigration Law Despite Criticizing It

FOXNews.com

Despite repeatedly voicing concerns about Arizona's new immigration enforcement law in recent weeks and threatening to challenge it, Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday he has not yet read the law, which is only 10 pages long.

Well ain't that a kick in the head! Attorney General "Stedman Graham" hasn't even read the dadblasted LAW!!!!!!!!!! But yet he's all over the good folks in Arizona for protecting themselves!!

Obama no doubt hasn't read it either!! Yet he's out talking about being harassed at Baskin and Robbins!!

What a piece of work we have in charge.....all of them!!!

THIS THING HAS FEWER PAGES THAN THE HEALTHCARE BILL AND THEY STILL WON'T READ IT!!!!! TEN PAGES!!!!!!!!!!!

So what say you? The deal is none who screamed racism read the law. And before it was amended, it was fine just as written.

you might be right!

The issue is racial profiling highly offensive to Latinos. Getting technical is pointless unless your read public sentiment. The marches & boycotts are against Arizona [not in support of Arizona]. Arizona will make decisions based on out-of-state pressure because ultimately money counts!

But there is NO racial profiling allowed in this law! God, I am getting a headache.
