Austin Boycotting Arizona!
According to the Austin American Statesman, The Austin City Council decided on Thursday that it would be best to protest business and travel with Arizona due to the new law enforced by the state. This law will allaow law enforcement to detain people at their own discretion if they suspect they are in the country illegally. To many this law is absurd and can be seen a racial profiling and is causing an uproar throughout the whole country. I find that if people are really serious about this then they would stop boycotting and instead they would just move out of Arizona. This law has been legal for quite some time its just that now its actually beiong enacted. It does seem like racial profiling for pulling over a Mexican/American just because they are Mexican, and it is unfair on many different levels. The thing is this, we just need to come up with another way of handling this situation of immigration. By picking out people at random we really arent going to do much good. This is just going to continue to cause citizens to boycott and rebel against authorities. By Austin boycotting Arizona, they may have a slight loss in some business but these arent significant enough to really put a dent in this ordeal.
