CUTTING OFF YOUR NOSE....

The self mutilation by Arizona of its economy is a hoot.

All those illegals that have flowed into the Grand Canyon State have for years been pumping up the retirement portfolios of the wealthy ruling class there by offering their toil and sweat for literally, dirt wages, so the companies employing them, and their benefactors, can prosper.

But the underlying racism of the native citizenry has overcome their limited intelligence and common sense, inspiring them to declare a paper war against the undocumented with their new state law allowing paperless profiling. This plays well with the locals but has inspired many people and companies and governmental agencies outside of Arizona to protest this un-American legislation with an economic boycott. The rock group Los Lobos is the latest to wage in on Arizona xenophobia by cancelling their scheduled June 10 concert at Arizona's Talking Stick Resort. You could say Los Lobos is "sticking it" to the proponents of SB 1070 by not only withdrawing the greenbacks they would otherwise be bringing to Arizona, but also the lovely music that Arizonians will have to forego to feed their hatreds.
