Arizona Law on Immigration

Well Governor Brewer of Arizona has been taking the heat on her newly passed law (SB 1070) to crack down on the illegal immigration that has become deadly for many in her state.  She responds to the critics.

The Mexican President's Speech and President Obama's comment haven't been properly informed about this bill.  The Federal Government has had this as law for DECADES and if it were illegal and racial profiling than the United States has been in violation of the law for years.  People need to read the bill.  We are a nation of laws and 70% of the American public agrees with this move why there is so much controversy.  The federal government is NOT doing their job so Arizona had to fix their problem.

The LA city councel called for a boycott of Arizona. Well, a commissioner, Gary Pierce, on the five-member Arizona Corporation Commision had a response to this threat.  In a letter Pierce wrote to the Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa yesterday, Pierce reminded the Mayor that up to a quater of LA's electricity comes from Arizona Power Plants.  Pierce stated that if an economic boycott is truly what LA desires, he would be "happy to encourage Arizona utilities to renegotiate your power agreements so Los Angeles no longer receives any power from Arizona-based generation."

The LA Mayor is dismissing the warning from Arizona.  Seems LA is pretty confident that they are ok to call a boycott and have not fallout to their own actions.
