I'm very disappointed to see neither my current state of Kentucky or my home state of Virginia on this list.

Other states not on your list (that I've read about) that may be adopting the AZ law too, are: CO, FL, GA, LA, VA, WI

Including those states (listed above), and AZ, would bring the total to 24 states (providing the others I've listed pass the AZ law in their states).

Wonder if California will boycott all of those states too? If so, will those states all return the favor to the state of California? Ooooh, feel the love CA! Feel the LOVE!

I feel sorry for the residents in CA because they don't have anything to do with the boycotts. It's the govt. of CA that's doing all of this nonsense.

I have a sister that lives in CA and it's wall-to-wall illegal aliens out where she is. The billboards are in Spanish, the menu's in restaurants are in Spanish, the new telephone book that arrived at her house was in Spanish!

I don't have a problem with folks that come into this country legally, because they at least are obeying (and respecting) our laws. It's the folks that break the laws and enter the country illegally, that I have a problem with -- regardless of what country they come from.

I've read comments from others in this forum that keep asking "why wasn't illegal immigration a problem when Bush was in office?" ...

answer:
It was a problem then, and it's still a problem now. It's not a problem "suddenly", because a Dem is in office. It's just that up until now no one in our Government has had the stones enough to step up and do what the people have been demanding be done, for years now. No one, that is, until Jan Brewer was put into the position of Governor of Arizona.

She did what no one else had the guts to do. I have a HUGE amount of respect for her because she chose to do what was "right" even if it wasn't "popular."

Imagine if all of our Government officials suddenly developed a backbone and a conscience and started doing what was "right" even if it wasn't "popular?"

I'll tell you what we'd have then ... we'd have a Government that was OF the people, BY the people, and FOR the people -- FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!

I'd really like to see more politicians elected that aren't afraid to uphold the laws of our country. I don't care what party they belong to, if they're honest, they have my vote and my financial support.

This is great news, too see how many States not join in agreeing with Arizona. Unfortunately the morons running my state of CALIFORNIA, Morons, i will say it over and over again, are not on board, they have too many sticks up their --- to do something right for Californians. I am just so sick of those in Power in my State, too bad, most of the morons supporting, them can't grasp what it means to get on board with Arizona, Morons ignorant, and stupidity, are some of the words to come to mind, and most of the people I know or are friends with, Support this also happening in our State, Those in power need to get their ----- voted OUT.

boycotting is childs play. Any state that tries to do this will only be punishing themselves.
