Ask Barry Broome, chief executive of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, what he thinks of our Board of Supervisors' move to boycott Arizona, and he won't hesitate to tell you.

"It's a really poor strategy," he says, adding words like "hypocritical," "grandstanding" and "cheap shot" to the mix.

No, ‘cause there are others who are the anti-boycott. If it’s from Arizona—buy it, use it, visit...

I believe that a boycott in the other direction would hurt much more. Electrical power, water, and food all come in part from Arizona. What does SF actually provide?

how can be it lawful for a mayor to tell it’s workers that they cannot travel to a certain place in America.

we have right to or freedom of passage as Americans and therefore he should be sued

Harm?

They’re already being run over with illegals that our government won’t do anything about, costing the state great amounts of money and fear
so what’s the difference here?

What they need to worry about is the rest of the Country organizing a boycott of Sodom on the Bay because of idiotic ideas like this one...

Arizona should just charter buses with a free ride to San
Francisco for illegals.

Boycott San Francisco! Honestly, they are more dependent on tourism than the State of Arizona!

plus who wants san freako people for the most part to come to your state and besides it is unconstitutional for a person to tell others not to go to an area of this country

AZ should boycott their city and fed money should be stopped to san freako for breaking the law

bottom line is .
are you for defending those who break the law?

If the left stays out of Arizona, the crime stats, STD stats etc. will doubtless improve.

Leftists are a moral, economic and social blight. Their absence improves any situation.

Boycotts hurt both parties. The leaders in SF are basically telling their voters, “We do not want to use your tax dollars in the most effective manner to bring you services.” If I heard that from my elected officials, I would work very hard to defeat them.

illegal comes with the blessing of their Govt

they then come and get free education, free health, will not be forced to purchase health care.
get food stamps, get free breakfast and much at school, get WIc, go to prison for some

it is costing the country and the state billions and the illegals give nothing

if those in the rat party want to defend those who break the law then say so and the GOP should ask them this seeing as the MSM will not

Folks my advice to you is if you have never been to Arizona then go..The Grand Canyon is the most beautiful place on earth to me..Take your summer vacation in Arizona..

Never go to San Francisco you might get attack by a someone especially if you are a male..Little kids should never stay far from their parents in that town either Remember nancy Pelosi is from San Francisc so you know it can't be all that good there..Anyone that would vote that horse into office should be bpycotted

True enough, but these are libs...San Fran stupido libs to boot.

EVERY dollar is spent on corruption.

Period.

“No, ‘cause there are others who are the anti-boycott. If it’s from Arizona—buy it, use it, visit...”

If there is some Arizona state chamber of commerce type of agency, perhaps they can put something forward? I am determined to buy at least $100 of Arizona products.

Anyone know of something?

All the businesses should move to AZ. and AZ. should send all the illegals to San Fran. Problem solved.
