I read the other day that they estimate as many as 40,000 illegals have already moved from AZ into Cali just since the passage of the law. Add into that the fact that many illegals that would have gone to AZ are now going to skip that state and go right to Cali has Cali not very happy.

So they decide if AZ is going to kick them and pass a law that sends all the illegals scrambling to Cali then Cali is going to kick back and pass a law stopping some business from profiting in Cali.

It is just a thought, but I think it has a ring of truth to it and I feel it might be more realistic that just some of the leaders of Cali morally opposing the law. It is basically like the city of LA saying to AZ, "If you are going to send your burdens and your troubles to us, don't expect to then sell us your wares and profit off of us."
