The Austin City Council has voted to cut business and travel ties with Arizona to protest the state's new law targeting illegal immigrants.
A unanimous council vote adopted the resolution proposed by council member Mike Martinez. The Austin American-Statesman reports the resolution calls for an end to all city business travel to Arizona.

I hope Texas passes an Arizona-like law. What will Austin do then, boycott themselves?
I don’t believe Perry would sign a law even if presented to him...
Have you noticed that all these city boycotts are led by Mexican-Americans? Traitors, their loyalty is to Mexico.
Used to live there for a spell in my “yout”, full of smelly hippies. We used to hike up “hippy hollow” and piss on the rocks the hippies sunbathed on. I bet it still smelled better than them...
I think he would. Governor Good Hair already knows the mood of the country. They guy is a weathervane, he goes with the flow.
So far, Gov Good-Hair has left AZ twisting in the wind. I have seen little support coming from other state-houses and that concerns me.
He has released a statement to the contrary, I’ll look it up and post it.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) said he doesn’t think an immigration law like Arizona’s would be the “right direction” for his own state, noting that he also has “concerns with portions of the law passed.”
Perry has already said Texas would not have a law as AZ...so did Richardson of New Mexico. I think it is time that we need to spread the word to the illegals crossing that Texas and New Mexico are WIDE open....let those two states deal with what AZ has had to endure. Maybe then, those two idiot governors will feel the pain. I hope that Perry has shot himself in the foot over ever being considered for Pres or Vice Prez....he is and has been a real jerk!
How bout Austin do something real and start bussing Mexicans to Austin? Put their Amnesty where their mouths are. Pick em up as they cross Nogales and take them to Austin.
Pray for America
I live in a small town in CA - - it is time to ask our city council to pass a resolution in support of Federal AND Arizona law.
Yeah, I know that is what he said, but that was before all the polls came out showing 73% of Americans think it’s proper to ask for ID and to enforce the laws on illegals. Gov Good Hair has national aspirations and believe me, there is no way he’s going to incur the wrath of the Ameican people by siding with the illegals against Americans.
I wish Austin wasn’t in my state. It’s just plain embarrassing. They would fit in great in Cali. Can’t we just move them?
There are a few of us in Travis County with our heads not up our behinds.
Don’t hate all of us.
All Texans who still believe in the Constitution should write a letter today to the Austin Texas City Council protesting their allegiance to Mexico and invite them to move to Arizona.
I lived in Austin and there were some conservatives there. But there are a lot of Stalinists, share your wealth, enviro nuts living there.
Take Bob Livingston, bass player for Jerry Jeff Walker. Off his f***ing mind left. He TRUELY believes that Socialism is the only way and doesn’t believe that they are constantly sold down the river by Clinton, Kerry, Gore, Obama and the corrupt fascists on the left.
I realize that - dont intend to harm the conservative businesses - just dont know who you are.
We live 55 miles away and certainly have little reason to do any business transactions inside of Travis county, but there are occasions & events that would allow us - but I just refuse.
maybe Austin aught to be ceded back to Mexico
No, since a large share of Austinites are California refugees. That's a big part of Austin's problem. Lots of libs from California who bailed after screwing up that state and are now in the process of screwing up Texas. Like locusts.
