The raft of boycotts being imposed on Arizona over its immigration law could up end hitting Hispanic workers as hard as anyone.So, as Hispanic unemployment in Arizona rises Mayor Villaraigosa can pat himself on the back at how he's helped the Hispanics in Arizona - by putting them on the unemployment line.
Hispanics make up a huge chunk of the state's hospitality and service sector workforce -- and with city governments and organizations pulling the plug on travel and conventions in Arizona, state officials point out that Hispanic workers stand to lose.
They say it makes little sense for officials protesting the Arizona law out of concern that it would subject Hispanic immigrants to racial profiling to register their dismay by targeting the tourism industry.
"These boycotts could be hurting the very same people that they profess to be helping," said Garrick Taylor, spokesman for the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
What a moron.

Typical! That's exactly the Liberal thing -- take the "principled" stand and the heck with the consequences. And when the consequences harm the exact same people one was primping supposedly to "help" -- well, que sera sera.
It's never about reality, it's about one's liberal identity and boisting one's ever important coolness.
Consequence, Unexpected, One Each.
Actually, you could have two or three even if you don't want them.
