Can Arizona Inns Really Afford a Boycott?



The American Immigration Lawyers Association has cancelled their Arizona conference.

The city of San Francisco is considering a boycott that could impact all vendors the city does business with; that's a whole heap of folks.

More conference cancellations will undoubtedly follow.

Summer season is just around the corner. European travelers who land in Los Angeles typically will take a side trip to Las Vegas and/or a side trip to the Grand Canyon.

Just how many of those travelers want to risk being asked for papers? Not a fun holiday. Las Vegas here they come.

For small inns in Arizona this is a disaster in the making at a time they really don't need another hit to their bottom line.

What a mess.

Why do folks call for boycotts over issues like this? Because they work.

Arizona of all places should know that.
