Current event 2

I read an editorial pertaining to a boycott of Arizona based companies by large west coast cities in response to the severe new laws against illegal immigration in Arizona. Oakland, Seattle, and San Diego have claimed that they will boycott businesses that are headquartered in Arizona to show discord for the new laws. The edotorial says that these are just bluffs because the large cities would not want to spend more money by boycotyting the current companies. The main products that come out of Arizona are traffic cameras that the large cities would have to spend more money on were they to actually uphold their boycotts. I chose this article because the issue of illegal immigration is interesting to me. I think that everyone in America wants money over everything else and the principles that these cities stand behind are shadowed by the money they might lose. It was well written and thoroughly explained how much hippocracy and capitalistic most cities are. I enjoyed the article because it provides a good example for the stance of America: Money comes first.
