Why can't I download a font asset in rails?

Question

I would like to do the following in rails in my application.css:

@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Source+Sans+Pro:400,300,600,700);

Can someone please tell me why this won't work, or a workaround?

@import "http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Source+Sans+Pro:400,300,600,700"
