Supports Arizona's immigration law

I, as many others, support Arizona and their signing of the new illegal immigration law. Whether it's a perfect law or not is not up to me to say. I just think that it's about time someone took a stance since our government is avoiding this subject like the plague. I was very disappointed to see many celebrities and sport figures that claim that they are going to boycott Arizona in different ways. What I want to know is where is the outrage for the rancher in Arizona that was gunned down by suspected illegal immigrants or the sheriff that was recently shot by illegal immigrants?

White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen claims that he would boycott the All-Star game in Arizona. He is quoted as saying: "As a Latin American it's natural that I have to support our own." Our own what, Mr. Guillen? People that are breaking the law? Not the people that are giving you the opportunity to make millions playing a sport? These people have the right to boycott Arizona if they wish, just as I have the right to boycott anyone that supports people that break the law. From this point forward I will boycott Ozzie Guillen and the White Sox. I will not go to any more of their games, watch them on TV or buy anymore White Sox products. I will no longer buy CD's from Gloria Estefan or Shakira. I will no longer buy any products in Cook County due to the board looking to stop buying any products from Arizona. I will no longer go to Mexico for vacation every year because Arizona is my new vacation spot. I will no longer go to any Mexican restaurants. For the record, this is not about racism as many claim. This is about people that are breaking one law after another. Illegal is illegal is illegal.
