Phoenix, Arizona - The Arizona boycott imposed by Latinos from throughout the country is taking its toll on the state economic well being. State officials decided to begin closing Arizona state parks for lack of tourism and the lack of economic resources to keep them open. The state is facing a $3 billion deficit.
Legislators are working to implement higher taxes to generate revenues to avoid filing for bankruptcy. Most Arizona tax payers support SB 1070 and might favor the tax increase provided they have the extra income, eventhough it is considered unconstitutional.
The state has been losing millions of dollars per week due to the SB 1070 boycott, according to financial institutions in Arizona. The law and Governor Jan Brewer decision to approve it is definately costing Arizona and its citizens their livelyhood to generate economic wealth from those they allegedly intended to discriminate (Hispanics).
The economic downfall was triggered by the approval of the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhood Act known as SB 1070. The law allows police to ask people suspected of illegally being in the country for their immigration status or U.S. Citizen documents during city ordinance violations or criminal investigations. The law makes it a state crime for being in the country illegally and is considered unconstitutional because it preempts federal law on immigration legislation, regulation and enforcement and would lead to racial profiling, according to multiple lawsuits filed in federal court against the state. The lawsuits ask a federal judge to also put an injunction and keep SB 1070 from being enforced in late July.
Latinos in the U.S. continue spreading the word through texting, e-mails and social networks, to engage in limited spending, Latinos should buy bare essentials only and support businesses that support immigration reform. Don't over spend, so that Latinos can manage their economic buying power of an estimated $1.3 trillion by 2013. Boycott should last until an immigration reform bill is passed and the Boycott in Arizona continues.
