L.A. City Council Boycotts Arizona Over Immigration Law And Councilman Koretz Compares Arizona To Nazis

MSNBC reports that "Los Angeles on Wednesday became the largest city yet to boycott Arizona over its tough new law targeting illegal immigration in a move that likely will affect some $8 million in contracts with the state. The City Council voted 13-1 to bar Los Angeles from conducting business with Arizona unless the law is repealed. The vote followed an emotional council discussion during which many members noted that their ancestors were U.S. immigrants. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa already has said he would approve the boycott."

Councilman Paul Koretz compared Arizona's law to "the very beginning of what went on in Nazi Germany." Tweet
