Actually, AZ should sue SF for the added burdens of illegal alien activity in their state due to SF promoting crimes against our country!

You're pretty free with my state's money, aren't you? I thought you guys hated trial lawyers...what happened???

AZ is going to suffer economically until this illegal law gets rescinded.

On that point, legal experts maintained that the law was bound to be overturned by the courts. Karl Manheim of Loyola Law School called it “facially unconstitutional,” averring that states cannot have their own immigration laws because it’s “an attribute of foreign affairs.” I’m not certain about that, but UC-Irvine’s Erwin Chemerinsky agreed about the unconstitutionality of the law. Certainly there are civil rights charges that can be made against the law in the event of racial profiling or unlawful deportation or whatever incidents arise from the law. Both expected private litigants, rather than the federal government, to sue.

There will definitely be a legal challenge down the line; Rev. Al Sharpton has already announced his intent to sue, along with the Hispanic Federation and the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders.

But before that time, I think we will see boycotts, whether on a coordinated or personal level. Former San Francisco Supervisor Michael Yaki lays out the case.
