MEXICO CITY - “Nothing gringo,” warns the rallying cry of Mexican activists calling for a boycott of all U.S. businesses south of the border on May 1.
The campaign, aimed at pressuring Congress to legalize undocumented migrants, was timed to coincide with “The Great American Boycott,” in which activists are urging migrants in the United States to skip work and avoid spending money to demonstrate their importance to the U.S. economy.

I am so sick of these people.
Racism and communism -- perfect together.
Which is exactly the amount of sympathy you will get from me. Now go the F home.
I am still of the mind that the Mexicans are overestimating their impact on our economy. Drastically overestimating their impact.
May 1 will come and go with no economic impact, with the exception of small pockets in Kalifornia, Arizona and Texas where illegals are the majority.
We need a list of places they're boycotting. They'll be nice to patronize for a change. I went two places today where all I heard was Spanish, and I'm not exaggerating. Outside of my party, *nobody* was speaking English. Chinese restaurant and Sears, in the suburbs of Dallas.
Also, my old elementary and middle schools have two-sided announcement boards, like just about every school in America. Unlike every school, they have Spanish on the side facing the main road. You have to go out of your way to see English announcements.
So, boycott. See ya. Or, hopefully, not.
“Nothing Gringo”??? GOOD LUCK finding anything "Gringo", all you America-haters!
To our unwelcome guests south of the border who have made illegal incursions into our nation: The stuff you see in Wal-Mart and Target? It's all made in China
Anybody still doubt that these people would rather have America leave than leave America? This isn't about citizenship, its about reconquering the Southwest for Mexico.
Why stop there? Please just boycott the entire U.S. and sneak over into South America instead?
Lets not shop in Tijuana, Juarez, etc and see how long they'd last.
So why don't we declare a date to not buy anything, or buy something the day prior to the boycott date and return it for a refund on boycott day? That would be fun.
"Lets not shop in Tijuana, Juarez, etc and see how long they'd last"
Why on earth would anyone go to Tijuana or Juarez to shop?
I haven't seen school announcements like that, two-sided, here in Los Angeles. Not that I have traversed the whole city.
Hey, I might boycott Mexican food that day.
Is anything more bizarre than demanding a boycott of the nation a person is illegally breaking into?
Great !!!
You guys got room for 12 million of your products WE DON'T WANT
I am sickened and embarrassed by the people we have in congress ...and YES, the White House.
Mesquite, so it was Town East. I try not to go there when I can help it.
You're saying that even in LA, the announcement signs are still in English? Scary that they're not here. I read a "cute" little article in the paper about how some classes in my old school are taught in Spanish. And we're not talking Spanish class.
And if the gringo business owners had b@!!s, they would refuse to sell to anyone Latino the day after.

Last week, there was some idiot in the Dallas Morning News saying, "We're buying our supplies today so we don't give them any business tomorrow." Good plan, genius.
These are the SOBs that need to be on the first buses headed south.
The local paper on Sunday had a classified employment ad placed by CEMEX, the Mexican cement company. Seems they are operating in a number of countries now and have received special consideration from Washington, so that they can grow market share here in the U.S. without running afoul of the "Anti-dumping" laws.
Dubai and other U.A.E. ports are experiencing explosive infrastructure growth and are embarked upon huge construction projects, building cities and condo highrises and the world's tallest structure (at 5,800 feet) on a sand bar right out in the middle of the Gulf. I've seen pictures of these on the internet and they are positively breathtaking in scope and execution (maybe a poor word choice there).
In that part of the world I guess they have all the al-Qaeda operatives well-greased, so no one's going to bomb anything. So here's CEMEX making a mint selling these regimes the thousands of metric tons of concrete needed for their mammoth road-and-city-building projects.
Pulled CEMEX's website. The Board of Directors are 6 smart Mexican males who all graduated from the same technical institute in Mexico, then went on to get advanced engineering degrees at universities here in the states.
Now they are employing "gringos" in the U.S. for low level finance jobs. What a laugh they must be having back home. The U.S. has taken out all of Mexico's trash, so now the business owners can concentrate on profits with no trickle-down to the lower classes. No "great society" or welfare programs or any of that "nonsense" to get in the way down there, that's for sure.
LOL. I'll bet he, and many others, thought they were sooooo smart.
So they say "nothing gringo" , eh?
I wonder: does that extend to our money as well?
No, they still want the money. These people don't understand that they are killing the goose what lays the golden eggs. They risk death to to come here, then fight like hell to destroy those things that made us great. Fools!
Nothing gringo?
I'll expect the welfare lines, emergency rooms, and ESL classes to be empty that day, TYVM.
better yet, to complement a Border lock-down, freeze all wire transfers to ANY country.
I'm a "live-encourage to Thrive" guy but "Mi Hernmanos" are choking the "Galina de Oro".
Get real Mi Pendehos....
SF Para Todos...
L.O.L.....just imagine the economic impact on Mexico when we dump all these illegals back home...tough tamales!
I say we "gringos" need to go out and BUY something on May 1st, whether we need it or not. Let's demonstrate that these illegals DON'T make that big of a difference to our economy.
We also need to start opposing these people in public. When we hear them speaking Spanish on the phone, the street, in public, in school, just go up to them and say "Welcome to America. We speak ENGLISH!!"
I'm sick of feeling like a foreigner in my own country!!
Good Idea...
In Denver, my guess would be...
KMart, liqour stores, roach coaches, Home Depot and the Emergency room at any local hospital.
I have a couple of semi-major purchases coming up that will not bother me in the least to wait until May 1 to make.
I suppose this is because the first one had no affect.
Buy a gun.
This May Day "boycott" or whatever it is is being orchestrated by the communist organizations. Commies hate civilians with guns. Therefore, buying a gun that day is even more poignant.
We're calling it "Pinko de Mayo".
I have not seen bilingual signs here in Pasadena. Perhaps in Los Angeles....
Does this include our emergency rooms? Why stop at just one day?
