Illiegal immigrants: "We're going to close down Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Tucson, Phoenix, Fresno" on May 1

Has anyone heard of the May 1 boycott planned in Mexico? They're calling it "Nothing Gringo".

I was actually being serious. They really are calling it that.

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) -- "The Great American Boycott" is spreading south of the border, as activists call for Mexicans to boycott U.S. businesses on May 1.

[...]

"Remember, nothing gringo on May 1," advises one of the many e-mails being circulated among Internet users in Mexico.

"On May 1, people shouldn't buy anything from the interminable list of American businesses in Mexico," reads another. "That means no Dunkin' Donuts, no McDonald's, Burger King, Starbucks, Sears, Krispy Kreme or Wal-Mart."

For some it's a way to express anti-U.S. sentiment, while others see it as part of a cross-border, Mexican-power lobby.

i'm just counting all the ways this can backfire on them........

The weasels in DC (Bush, Reid, Frist, Pelosi, et al) won't let it backfire on them. They will get exactly what they want.

Yes, they will. And people will forget about it all and vote them right back into office. Sad state of affairs.

Pro-immigration activists say a national boycott and marches planned for May 1 will flood America's streets with millions of Latinos to demand amnesty for illegal immigrants and shake the ground under Congress as it debates reform.

[...]

"There will be 2 to 3 million people hitting the streets in Los Angeles alone. We're going to close down Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Tucson, Phoenix, Fresno," said Jorge Rodriguez, a union official who helped organize earlier rallies credited with rattling Congress as it weighs the issue.

A very small protest in NYC on May 1st. Very small, actually there were more people there to support a tougher stance on illegal immigrants.

Sounds like a workable policy to me.

I actually have the same deal going at my house, if you break-in, you can live here just so long as you don't eat my food and lift the lid when you use the toilet.

I wish American companies such as banks, check cashing companies, grocery stores etc. would retaliate by picking one day to not speak Spanish or make any effort to communicate in a language other than English.

Then we would see just who needs who more!

There is a very large basic needs chain in my area

where the associates (you might be surprised what

race) refuse to wait on, look at or get anywhere

around anyone south of the border. They do not

hide it from management in any way. Or from

anyone else.

So far have not seen any management at all

say or do anything to these associates. Half

the customer base in this store are from south

of the border.
