SEATTLE, Wash.--Seattle's city council has voted unanimously to join more than a dozen other cities in boycotting the state of Arizona.
The action is in response to Arizona's new immigration law.
The council's resolution says the city government will no longer do new business with Arizona companies, and they won't send city workers to conferences there.
Councilors say their resolution is not meant to hurt Arizona residents, but rather to put pressure on the Federal government to step in with a comprehensive immigration reform plan.

Theres another stupid
Theres another stupid state...Of course they do need illegal apple pickers...go figure.
Illegals suck
I don't understand why
I don't understand why people are wanting to boycott Arizona for their actions. I think it is great that someone is finally trying to do something about the illegals coming to the U.S. and sucking money out of the government, and the people of this country. I really hope Oregon joins Arizona in their actions against illegal aliens.
