San Diego tourism leaders and hoteliers fear they could lose a sizable chunk of business this summer from valued “Zonies” who are so angered by elected leaders’ recent censure of Arizona for its illegal-immigration law that they’re mounting an informal boycott of their own.

The San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau and several hotels report receiving e-mails and letters from Arizona visitors saying they intend to change their plans to travel here in light of local outcry over their home state’s anti-illegal-immigration stance.

Sometimes but when I boycott "Best Buy", how do they cut me back?

Classic liberal thinking, not thinking through the pros (and cons) of their actions. Since everything is so “feel good” and “PC”, negative ramifications are never considered. Good for the people of Arizona.

Why boycott CA wine. Much of is made here in Central CA and we have nothing to do with LA or SF.

SOooo the SD Convention and Visitors Bureau emails the BOYCOTTING TRAVELERS....
--Asking THEM TO IGNORE the petty actions of their city council and government resolution...
-- And come to SD anyway...???

INSTEAD of telling their local politicians how childish and stupid they look...??

Who is running the asylum in the Pipple's Republik...??

Since the government of San Diego is “of, by and for the people”, there is no misunderstanding here. AZ residents know what they are doing.

Sounds like San Diego CVB values the rights of Illegal Aliens over the rights of American citizens.....the CVB should be after their own local government....and not blaming Arizona

Arizona stick to your guns....America is behind you. Only a few cities that like Illegals more than Americans will think of a boycott

The wife likes a few Kali wines, but no more. A few Australian ones are good, too. We’re boycotting Kali.

May I suggest this wording:

“Dear Arizona friends,
We understand and share your outrage over the City Council’s participation in the widespread effort to strangle business in your state. We are not part of this, however. We are a free enterprise business while the boycott is the work of the communist occupation authorities (aka “liberal officials”) and their lackeys in the ministry of propaganda (aka “mainstream media”). We urge you to re-consider your position and support the remaining entrepreneurs who attempt to make a living under the weight of this occupation.”

During the summer, SD’s freeways are filled with AZ plates. If AZ can make this stick, it will hurt SD.

Yep! My parents live at Sun City Grand, AZ and they told me the two places retirees like to ‘tool around’ is Vegas and San Diego. Apparently, retirees are literally holding meetings at clubhouses around Phoenix to boycott traveling to cities boycotting AZ!
