Call for immigration law-based boycott of state apparently falling on deaf ears

ATLANTA - A boycott of the state, called for by immigration advocates after Georgia passed a tough new immigration law earlier this year, is apparently not catching on.

That's according to a report in the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

The call went out after the bill passed calling for a boycott of the state similar to the one targeting Arizona after it passed a similar bill last year.

But the newspaper says it could find only one group that will not hold a planned meeting in Georgia because of the new law, the Atlanta-based U.S. Human Rights Network, which usually holds its annual conference in Atlanta. That meeting is now scheduled this year for Los Angeles.
