Boston and Los Angeles were among the first to announce boycotts of Arizona, but 68% of Americans say it’s a bad idea for other cities or states to boycott Arizona over its new immigration law.Am I in an hurry to go spend money in Los Angeles or San Diego after they announced boycotts? Nope. In fact, I'll do my best to avoid it.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that only 14% of Adults think it’s a good idea for cities or states to join that boycott. Ten percent (10%) don’t care one way or the other, and nine percent (9%) more are undecided.
Forty percent (40%), in fact, say they would avoid doing business with any city or state that boycotts Arizona. Forty-three percent (43%) disagree and would continue to do business with boycotting cities or states. Seventeen percent (17%) aren’t sure.
Fifty-five percent (55%) of voters nationwide favor passage of a law like Arizona’s in their own state. When asked specifically about the chief provision of the Arizona law, support is even higher. Sixty-nine percent (69%) of voters believe a police officer should be required to check the immigration status of anyone stopped for a traffic violation or violation of some other law if he suspects the person might be an illegal immigrant.
However, for lunch today, I'm going to Costa Mesa to spend a little money in a "Rule of Law" city.

I'm not busting with eagerness to go spend cash in Washington DC. But then the city creates a new reason to do business somewhere else practically every day.
I'm not busting with eagerness to spend money in Colbert, GA...but then there are not many places where one could spend. The Chevron gas station tops the list!
Hurrah for Costa Mesa. This is a city worth driving to for recreation, eating out, and shopping. Better to spend my money here than at some city which hates to give honor to the U.S. Constitution. I will avoid cities such as Los Angeles and San Diego like the plague.
