I saw multiple people defend the idea that the boycott of Arizona is 'unfair' and that even citizens who voted against the immigration bill are being 'punished' by it. For that last bit, I'm sorry. You didn't contribute to the problem, but you are unfortunately getting hit by some of the consequences.
But - Arizona (and indeed any other state) does not have a right to a certain amount of income or musical and cultural events like concerts coming in from outside. No one has to buy your products, include your state on their tour, etc. And, why would you expect them to want to do so when all but the most Whitey McWhiterson of us might wind up getting jailed and perhaps wrongfully deported despite being a legal resident or even *US citizen*?
