How's That Boycott Workin’ For Ya?

I haven't forgotten that millions of illegal aliens are still here, crowding our schools, jails, roads, and emergency rooms, and that many millions more will come here if we get shamnesty. But has the City of Los Angeles forgotten its boycott of Arizona, a lame attempt to punish a state for actually doing something about illegal aliens? Here's a Los Angeles Times story by Kate Linthicum from earlier this month.

In May 2010, Los Angeles was a part of wave of cities that voted to boycott Arizona after lawmakers in that state passed a controversial law targeting illegal [aliens].

City Hall staffers were ordered to review contracts with Arizona companies for possible termination, and official travel to Arizona was supposed to be suspended.

But a year later, little has changed in the way Los Angeles does business with the state next door.

Fail. And it isn't just the City of LA.

A similar pattern can be seen across California. Boycotts in Oakland, San Francisco and Los Angeles County made headlines last year but have since delivered little punch.

None of those jurisdictions has canceled a contract with an Arizona-based company because of the boycott — leading some [illegal alien] activists to dismiss the high-profile calls for economic sanctions as empty symbolism.

Suckers. Maybe they should wise up and stop being lackeys for the Democrats.

Councilman Ed Reyes, who wrote the boycott, voted to approve those exceptions. He said the deals were in the best interest of the city.

You know what else is in the best interest of the city? Discouraging uneducated, unskilled, and career-criminal illegal aliens from hanging around here.
