Illegal immigrant rights activists say the recent groundswell of anti-immigration measures in Arizona is making the lives of immigrants, and anyone who looks like one, miserable and must be countered in kind: by making the lives of Arizonans more difficult through lost business and tourism.

Sounds like an ideal time for Americans to vacation in Arizona.

I think an Arizona vacation this year is just what the doctor ordered . . .

Good news! The illegals will not be coming over as a boycott? Brilliant!
To: Boston Blackie
Activists say the recent groundswell of anti-illegal-immigration measures are making the lives of immigrants miserable. Time to pile on. How about a national boycott of employers that hire illegals?

Too bad they won't boycott the use of Arizona (and/or American) oxygen.

The funny thing is, that their first attempt at boycott last week ago was a huge failure.
In some cases, those "workers" who did not show up for work would have their "paperwork" better scrutinized, in case they were guilty of fraud.
Some employers reported 100% attendence that day.
Unless, of course, this means by "boycotting," the illegal drug dealers or coyotes here won't be "working" that weekend.
All the better for us, then.

They come here illegally, don't pay taxes, use valuable hospital/medical resources and think THEY have the right to boycott? OMG

Sounds like an ideal time for Americans to vacation in Arizona. Sure, it's a little warm then, but we have A/C and swimming pools!
C'mon over!

That's not fair to the other 49 states!

Hey this is great!!! How about they do a forever boycott and spend all their damn money in Mezico. We didn't want em here in the first place. The few who profit from them are nothing compared to those who pay to keep them here. Illegal Mezican Go Home!!!

Illegal immigrant rights activists?
Illegal immigrant rights activists? You've got to be kidding! Illegal don't have rights,
citizens do!
Maybe it's time Arizonans started suing these "rights groups" for the $7000.00 dollars it costs each legal citizen, each year, to pay for the enormous burden of illegals' health care, education, deportation, incarceration, welfare, police, translating services, etc.
The US is full. Time to freeze immigration, President Bush.
To: Sterco
Good...we won't have to search for them...just pull up the trucks marked: Mexico-This way-----------
Add free lunch to the sign and they'll fighting for a seat!!
