With that Nazi of a bill in Arizona targeting immigrants, the state may soon be iced out...globally!!
San Francisco is proposing: a resolution before the Board of Supervisors calls on the city to cancel contracts with companies based in Arizona and halt business ties between city government and the state.
Meanwhile, San Francisco City Atty. Dennis Herrera said he was already looking into whether contracts with Arizona could be legally severed without penalty.
The proposal is backed by Supervisor David Campos. But Mayor Gavin Newsom has expressed concerns, questioning how a boycott could be pulled off.
"The notion of boycotting a state and every business that does business in the state is an extraordinarily complicated matter," he told the San Francisco Chronicle.

Mexico is advising its citizens that they could be "harassed" if living in Arizona or visiting the state:
Mexico's foreign ministry issued a statement saying that Mexicans in Arizona should be aware of the new law and contact their consular representatives if they are unlawfully detained.
"Until it is clearly defined under what criteria, when, where and who the authorities will check, you should assume that every Mexican citizen could be harassed and questioned without cause at any moment," it said.
To protest against the law, the governor of the Mexican border state of Sonora canceled a June meeting with Arizona officials that would have been the latest in decades of annual cooperation meetings between the two states.
