We should stop doing business with California.” Hispanic-Americans in Ari zona also have planned action in response to the proposition’s passage, including a boycott. talking about immigration. We’re talking about illegal aliens. Those are two very different things,” he said. “California does not want il legal aliens.” Texas Gov.-elect George W.
