Not everyone is down on Arizona.

While leading immigration rights groups have staged protests and called for boycotting Arizona businesses over the state's new immigration law, some outside groups are coming to the state's defense and organizing countermoves to buy Arizona goods and keep travel and tourism in the state humming.

Numbers USA, which favors lower immigration numbers, said Friday it is asking its 960,000 members and other workers to urge their employers not to cancel conferences or smaller meetings in Arizona, whose economy depends largely upon tourism and business travel to its many resorts and natural wonders, including the Grand Canyon.

Separately, the U.S. Travel Association also came out against a boycott of Arizona goods and services because of the immigration law.
