Legality of protest penalties disputed
The organizers of a nationwide boycott planned for May 1, who intend to demonstrate the economic power of immigrants in the marketplace and the workplace, are confident that participation will be high even though factions are divided over tactics.
The boycott – which comes in the wake of large demonstrations in favor of comprehensive immigration reform and against more punitive measures – was originally conceived as a day in which Latinos and other immigrants would abstain from spending. But it has expanded to include staying home from work and school. It is the latter two tactics that have caused disagreement among some of the groups that worked together to arrange massive rallies in San Diego, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and other cities.
Many church and labor leaders, who were supportive of previous actions, have openly questioned whether skipping work and school sends the right message to Congress and the general public.
“There would be a backlash against all of the positive energy that was created,” said Linda Arreola of the Office for Social Ministry of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego. “The message would be one that immigrants really don't want to be part of America, and that what they are really doing is hurting the U.S., and that would be hurting the movement.”

I wonder if they will even protest now. It seems they are trying to distance themselves from the commie groups. It was pretty obvious who was funding and staffing their large marches: ANSWER coalition and other commie groups.
I hear ya! I do NOT miss the freeways.
I'm with you on that, onyx!
When the waiters do not have a command of English --- my suspicions are raised. That's why I have decided to boycott the three Mexican restaurants here.
If its a day off, are you sure there is not going to be a run on Corona?
May 1,
Shop till you drop day,
Just to show those godless commies and the illegal invaders.
And we might even get waited on and assisted by English speaking AMERICANS!
actually, they drink bud...
I wonder if they will boycott hospital emergency rooms. Probably not - they can still go there and abstain completely from spending. Every time.
Apparently, they do not. :)
Of course NOT.
I am so mad my head is about to explode.
I have been to an emergency room and found it full of illegals. I raised hell and loudly, and I got my way too.
Seize the oil and great beaches?
Skipping work and school sends exactly the RIGHT message to Congress and the public. A wothless bunch of parasites who are being supported by Congress and the American taxpayer needs to be seen again and again to drive the message home that the US is being invaded and needs to put a stop to it now.
BUMP!
Excellent post, IMO.
It's fitting for the communist-lovin' left.
Very clever, isn't it?
PINKODEMAYO!
