The City Council of Los Angeles has come to a 13-1 decision to ban any official city-related travel to Arizona in protest of Arizona's new bill which is intended to target illegal immigrants. The City Council has also decided to cease all new contracts with the state, though keeping the current contracts with Arizona state companies. City Council members said that it could affect about $8 million in new contracts with Arizona, subsequently creating more money and jobs for California companies when possible.
L.A. Councilman Ed Reyes stated:
"As an American, I cannot go to Arizona today without a passport. If I come across an officer who's having a bad day and feels that the picture on my ID is not me, I can be … deported, no questions asked. That is not American."While Los Angeles is the second largest city in the country, San Francisco's Board of Supervisors approved a similar travel ban on Tuesday, as did Boulder, Colorado.

Video : Austin Texas boycotts business and travel to Arizona - Austin City Council unanimously approve Boycott
Great Success of the Boycott against Arizona, on Wednesday Evening it was Los Angeles California, now on Thursday Afternoon it is Austin Texas that boycotts Arizona.
This is a protest against the Juan Crow laws of Arizona.
The Boycott is a Golden Opportunity on a silver tray for youngsters and students to participate and enter into politics by the Biggest Door. They will see what is a grassroots movement from the entrails of the Monster.
By now this should be a Monster and a Nightmare for the Governor and the Legislators of Arizona. They got what they asked for.
kxan — May 13, 2010 — The Austin City Council just voted to restrict travel and boycott businesses in Arizona.

If your are one of the UGLIES, then you are not welcome in Arizona - Native American Indians, Pacific Islanders, South Asians, Middle Easterners to be confused as Latinos
All beautiful Races of the World were created by God - And when God was sleeping his nap on the Sunday after heavy and finished work, the Devil created the Latinos.
Why ??? -
Reason Number One : Latinos were put in this planet by the Devil to confuse all Racial Profilers and drive them mad.
Reason Number Two : The Devil enjoys big sins because that increases the meat to put in the cauldrons of Hell - The Racist are fried in the cheapest Palm Oil ( that has been used many times and has horrible stench ). The Devil wants to increase the number or Racists with the Beautiful Help of the Republicans in Arizona.
Watch Out ! - Be careful to go to Arizona if you are one UGLY, that is a person that can be easily confused with the despised Latinos. - Don't be a fool vacationing, conventioning, or conferencing in a Racial Police State.
Janet Murguía said : "If you look like us, then you will be racially profiled" - Even the Richest Guy in the World : Mexican Carlos Slim may look like an UGLY to an Ignorant and Racist cop in Arizona.
My list of UGLIES similar to Latinos include : All Native American Indians, including Alaskan or Canadian Eskimos and Inuits, because these natives mixed blood heavily with the Spanish Conquerors that were in America from almost two centuries before the Mayflower arrived with Pilgrims or Founding Fathers.
Other UGLIES are the Pacific Islanders that look very similar to Latinos.
Add the Southern Europeans : Italians from Sicily and Calabria and Spanish People from Andalucia ( Olé ! )
Add the North Africans from Maghreb and the Middle East, those that have Phoenician or Carthaginian genes in their blood, the descendants from the Hittites, the Ancient Egyptians, the Mesopotamians and Persians, Add India and Pakistan, those are the initiators of Civilization, when the "Whites" from the North of Europe were perfect savages.
Yes, I am stealing the paragraphs of Benjamin Disraeli, prime minister of Queen Victoria in England.
You can racially profile any Black or African Person of any shade of darkness as a Latino, because Latin America has received millions of tons of African Blood through History.
Even Blonde and White People are a problem, because those from Cantabria, Santander, Basque Country, Aragon, Galicia, etc ... . have a lot of Visigothic Blood, that is Germanic Blood from invasions of Barbarians that came from the North of Europe. And some of them migrated to Latin America .... And I am not mentioning the millions of Jews and Arabs that went south of the Rio Grande.
Latinos were put in this planet by the Devil to confuse all Racial Profilers and drive them mad and into Big Sins.

What you don't understand is that the law does not effect legal citizens. If you are here in America illegaly than you should be arrested. By the way this is America, not latino America. If you origin country is so great I suggest you go home. My relatives were immigrants also. The difference is they came here the right way and became citizens. I am an American. Something my forefathers worked hard to ensure.
de Clermont - the bans on Arizona approved by those states are immoral and perhaps even illegal. Arizona has not been accused of any crime. They are being tried in a court of hysteric public opinion. Just like my friends here in Mexico City say, the US can do what they want, it is their country. And they understand why the US is doing it. It is obvious to me that the issue in the USA is being manipulated by radical hispanic groups. And the TV in Mexico is playing their part in provoking hysteria too. By the way, why during those protests against the Arizona law do they wave so many foreign flags. That is insulting to the US citizens - those foreigners are showing their contempt for the country they claim they want to live in. I cannot help but imagine that they are just carpet baggers with allegiance only to themselves.
Here is a great song to use for the movement...
