St. Paul, MN mayor bans taxpayer-paid travel to Arizona
Minneapolis Star-Tribune ^ | April 28, 2010 | From The Deer Stand

On Wednesday St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman ordered a boycott of publicly funded travel to Arizona. The order was given by the mayor in protest of the new immigration legislation adopted in Arizona.

The new Arizona law allows law enforcement officers to question people about their immigration status if they have reason to suspect they are in the country illegally. It makes it a state crime to be in the United States illegally.

Coleman said the law is rooted in hate and fear.

St. Paul has a history of cooperation with modsters/criminals.

To MN Governor:

You elected Al Franken as Senator.. and one of your predecessors was Jesse the body Ventura.

Who can trust or CARE about anything your state has to say.

Do they have referendums in MN? Maybe the TAXPAYERS like the LAW.

so let me get this right

these mayors never boycotted san fran and other cities which broke the law.
they are now saying that they do not like the law being enforced and therefor call for a ban

there fore they are saying that it is OK to break the law and be here illegally

now imagine if we had a fair media and the GOP had a balls ot voice their opinion

there is no way AZ can back down and it proves that the rats have now decided that the rule of law should not be applied and that it is OK now ot break the law

Is this even legal? Can the mayor do this purely arbitrarily on his own crooked authority?

“”””Yep, both St. Paul and Minneapolis are sanctuary cities....”””””””

So they have declared that it is not illegal to be illegal here.

You’d think US citizens in many states would be applauding this AZ law —

Even the die-hard leftists I know in places like NYC, MA, Chicago, and of course here in So Cal, are HAPPY about the AZ gov’s decision.

Just WHO are these people in places like St. Paul who are in such opposition? I think they are the business owners who have paid to import these illegals for cheap labor. The illegals are in virtually ALL states now.

A friend of mine from NY, a big lefty, was scandalized some TEN years ago when she’d be taking red eye flights home from LA and the flights held dozens of Hispanics in all manner of dress, most huddled in blankets. It was a third world mess. She wondered where they were going — well, now she knows — they were going to HER area!

Exporting illegals to far flung US locales has long been big business — they have invaded states ALL OVER the country by now. I was stunned to see them in Maine, for heaven’s sake!

from the DFL Party (since Minnesotans apparently don’t think the national Democrat Party is far enough to the left for them, dontcha know...) Having the same last name as former Republican St. Paul Mayor and Minn. Senator Norm Coleman is apparently a coincidence.

Q: Why can’t Minnesotan’s make kool aid?
A: They can’t figure out how to fit 2qts of water in the little packet.

Great fishing, just bring skeeter spray.

I imagine the summers can be pretty nice, but in the winter?

I’ve seen the weather reports on TV and when the temperature has to go up 70 degrees just to hit freezing, thanks but no thanks.
