What is Arizona's largest export?

[Winterblues]

I know they are big into artichokes, but are there other things that could be boycotted?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

1. Lately? Hispanic people.

[name not needed]

36. .

:rofl:

[hobbit709]

2. Lately it appers to be stupid in mass quantities.

[virgogal]

3. Boycotts don't work. The other side will just support AZ products.

[Warpy]

17. I can't imagine the average Freeper/Bagger eating an artichoke

Frankly, the ag in that state isn't much, anyway. I think they have a few industries, but by far the biggest is tourism.

Since Mexico has issued a travel advisory telling its wealthier citizens to spend their shopping money elsewhere, Arizona is going to take a hit.

[hootinholler]

33. I say by God let's give them some!

Might take a few out.

Number one country exported to? You got it, Mexico.

5. Some interesting googling...

http://www.trade.gov/td/industry/otea/state_reports/arizona.html

"Arizona's export shipments of merchandise in 2009 totaled $14.0 billion.

The state's largest market was Mexico. Arizona posted exports of $4.5 billion to Mexico, close to one-third (32 percent) of the state's total export shipments in 2009. Mexico was followed by Canada ($1.7 billion), China ($822 million), the United Kingdom ($601 million), and Germany ($587 million).

The state's leading export category is computers and electronic products, which alone accounted for nearly one-third (31 percent), or $4.3 billion, of Arizona's total merchandise exports in 2009. Other top manufactured exports that year were transportation equipment ($2.5 billion); machinery manufactures ($1.3 billion); and fabricated metal products ($954 million)."

Boy would that be interesting if Mexico told Jim Crow state to fuck off.

[Soylent Brice]

13. ka-ching go ka-bye bye.

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. Well, the law makes sense now.

How can Mexicans buy all those exports unless they go back to Mexico?

Easy-peazy.

And y'all thought it was racism, Ha!

[JonLP24]

My brother, who is in law enforcement, tells me that Kingman is THE biggest supplier of firearms to militias. After the Oklahoma City bombing, he said he was not in the least bit surprised that Tim McVeigh spent time there.

[VOX]

32. Tourism is AZ's big biz. Grand Canyon, Sedona, golf, spas, etc. Don't visit AZ!
