Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) has a message for people and organizations looking for a place to spend money: Don't come to my state. At least not until Arizona disavows its "fundamentally racist" immigration bill.
The bill, which would require police officers to question people about their immigration status if there's reason to suspect they're not here legally, has been approved by the state House and Senate, and will become law if Gov. Jan Brewer ® signs it.
The bill has provoked a lot of chatter on Fox News -- and outrage on the left. And now Grijalva is calling on outside groups to boycott his state until the immigration bill is scrapped.
