Well, there are plenty of pissed off people out there over this legislation. . .:
"WASHINGTON - Two or three times a week, truck driver
Jesus Serrano hauls loads of Mexican-grown produce from warehouses in Nogales, Ariz., which is just across the U.S.-Mexico border, to distribution centers in Los Angeles.
Serrano plans to stop making the trip now that Arizona Republican Gov. Jan Brewer has signed a stringent anti-illegal immigration bill into law, however, and he has recruited other truckers to join him.
Serrano, the independent owner-operator of a Los Angeles-based trucking company, said that about 70 drivers based in California and Arizona had agreed to stop moving loads into or out of Arizona in protest of the new law. He hopes to get 200 truckers on board for a five-day boycott that will start within 48 hours of the bill's signing."

"The American Immigration Lawyers Association has vowed to boycott the state of Arizona, canceling their fall national convention at the Scottsdale Marriott.
The boycott comes hours after Gov. Jan Brewer signed Senate Bill 1070 into law.
"Right after the bill was signed, our board of governors had an emergency meeting and voted on whether or not we would keep the conference in Scottsdale," said former AILA chair Mo Goldman, a Tucson attorney.
The vote to cancel and relocate the convention was nearly unanimous, Goldman said.
The venue's penalty for canceling the event is approximately $92,000, though the association is attempting to mitigate the cost."
