Phil Gordon

The mayor of Phoenix, writing in the Arizona Republic:

"Regardless of your stance on immigration, there's one thing all of us can agree on: Boycotting Arizona is wrong. It's economic retribution that deeply wounds all of us to make a statement against some of us ... The Arizona of SB 1070 isn't the only Arizona ... It's our hope that the many do not suffer for the decisions of a few."
