I have a business trip I must make to Austin in July.  I will spend money on food & lodging only while I'm there and will be carrying some cards with me that read: I'm from Arizona.  Contact the Austin City Council for your tip.

I like it!

And here's the tip card:

Feel free to copy it if you're so inclined.

Thanks for your patronage, BONEHEADdb.

I regularly visit Yuma when visiting relatives, and will make a point of stopping and shopping in the future!

Yea, notice how the hotel operators are saying "it's not us!  Don't hurt us!".  It is you idiots!  You elected the illiterate jerks who passed the resolution.  Your solution is easy.  Kick their asses out of office!  reverse the resolution, and I am sure Arizonans will visit you again.

I may have to fly into SD, but I do not have to spend a dime while I am there, nor will I.

My search & rescue team did a real world search today.  I'm sure both the lost person and his family were pretty glad we used his race in our profile of who we were looking for. ;~D

I was thinking along those lines this morning. What is clear is that the race baiters have taken to the sewers to preach their hate, as the only thing racist about the Arizona law is the opposition to it.  So instead of directly confronting it like they did in the early days (before being revealed as illiterates and ignoramuses since they had not read it), they have decided to just trash their country to others around the world (who do not understand the law either since they have not read it).  But that is not surprising, they were trashing this country to the rest of the world for the past 16 months anyway.

Just returned from AZ, and spent lots of money.  

I had a similar experience last time I was out in AZ.  As soon as the cleaning ladies saw me the english started.   

Makes me rather proud to live in a sanctuary city where these folks can go about their day until the immigration issue resolves itself or blows over-----one way or the other. 

No idea what their status was.  Can't really say I care either.  Though:  given this bill, I wonder if there isn't something else to it - just wondering if there might be some latent anger that resulted in these folks getting told they can't socialize in spansih. 

Wow!  I need to have evidence of something to be curious about a weird social phenomena, lest I'd be drawing conclusions about 'hysterical hypthetical non-effects'. 

Something like that sounds pretty hysterical to me. 

The whole situation just struck me as bizarre.  I couldn't figure out why a couple of cleaning ladies decided to switch languages because I came within earshot.  That happening in the otherwise sterile strip mall that is Phoenix got me wondering.  

There is a debate in Imperial Valley about this issue.  Imperial Valley is adjacent to AZ, and is noted for having the highest urban unemployment in the nation.  Simple question to these folks - who should get the few jobs available.  Citizens, or illegals?  That question seems to be ignored by the ignorant that have not read the law.

And Daiwa, add Rep Kennedy to  your list.  He has not read it either and apparently can't read it.
