Thats great, means less traffic, and crowds at the beaches for all of us. If they can't get passed the politics regarding this issue, then thats their problem. SD gets tourist all year around from all across the country, summer months are the busiest, so I wouldn't worry about a few Zonies that have beef against the city for doing what they did, since we'll get a ton of tourist from NV and up north in LA.
If they don't like it, oh well that's all I have to say. They might as well not even come to California ever again, since just about every city in CA has voiced opposition towards Arizona's racist law. Where are all those Zonies that want to escape the heat going to go now?
Maybe up north into Canada Sounds like a great plan to me

Public opinion polls are strongly on the side of Arizona. And even some of those who oppose the law, also oppose municipal governments engaging in silly boycotts instead of working on real issues. (By the way, it seems that those boycotts are, in fact, illegal, unlike the Arizona law.)
It's just that we have strange, very strange politicians running city and school board governments.
Also, Arizona's law is not racist. At least no more than our whole federal immigration system that considers large numbers of primarily hispanic residents of the country to be criminals.
Personally, I'm considering a trip to Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, and Four Corners. Unfortunately, despite all the talk of boycotts, most Grand Canyon hotels appear to be sold out two to four months in advance.
The facts can't be ignored: the overwhelming majority of Americans want a secure border. And the law that Arizona passed is not racist at all. If you actually knew the law, you'd know that it included an amendment stating that people cannot be asked to show papers solely on the base of race.
Moreover, our current federal law against illegal immigration is essentially the same as Arizona's law. The problem is: the law hasn't been enforced.
I am so sick of liberal apologists screaming racism. If we had white Canadians pouring across our border to the north illegally, do you think there would be nearly as much opposition to securing the border and cracking down on illegals? I didn't think so.
Moreover, I don't know whether to laugh or cry about the hipocrisy of Mexico. Mexican diplomats have called for leniency when it comes to illegals crossing into the U.S. Yet Mexico has some of the strictest illegal immigration laws in the world. Under Mexican law, it is a felony to be there illegally. Annually, Mexico deports more illegals than the U.S.
No, the real issue here is greed. Greed on the part of the Republicans for wanting cheap labor and greed on the part of the Democrats for wanting to increase their voting base because they view Mexicans as shue-in loyal Democrats.
Once again, who gets the raw end of the deal here? The average American taxpayer. I am conservative, but I am so tired of the blatant corruption and contempt for the will of the American people from both sides of the aisle.
We need to throw all the bums out. This November, vote like you mean it. Each vote counts. Vote the incumbents out!
you know I'm tired of hearing about tax dollars going towards benefits for illegal immigrants. i'm tired of my tax dollars going to a lot of things, but we don't get to choose where our money goes. if people weren't upset about illegal immigrants then they would find something else to complain about. this world will never be perfect
i'm an independent thinker, i don't agree on labels
we should not vote for people but for ideas
anything that is going to effect the majority of Americans should be voted on by
the public not by a bunch of fake people, that have their own intrests in mind,that are suppose to represent us
It doesn't matter if it's "racist" or not, because as a matter of law, it's unconstitutional. Immigration is the sole domain of the federal government, not the individual states. States cannot pass laws that seek to regulate a field that is already occupied by the federal government.
So it's only a matter of time before this law is found in violation of separation of powers, before there is ever a debate about whether it violates the due process clause, equal protection, or anything else.

And of course I have to agree with you.Always do buddy.
My view on this is, what does part of the job description of Sheila Jackson's job, or Donna Frye's job does it say they can spend time and money "voting" on something in another State? We have no problems here in SD? They have spare time to avoid the pension mess, potholes and whether or not we can afford a new downtown Library?
Someone in the private sector would have been canned if they were caught doing something like this at work.

That money goes straight into the general coffers, or should I say "won't" now. But I'm sure you guys already knew that. We cannot afford to lose jobs or money in this economy.
Maybe they need to "vote" on what's going on in Palestine? Come on, they need to do their "jobs" and quit worrying about what their lil two cents worth DOESN'T account for.
If they start cutting Teacher head count for lack of funds they can thank their own leaders.
