Illegals plan a new boycott

[republican4ever]

I don't think this has made the news yet. It'll be in a Spanish-language newspaper tomorrow, though.
Activists in Mexico and the US are planning a new boycott for May 1. It will be targeted against US products and companies, especially Wal-Mart.
On Feb 3 and 4 there will be a national conference at the Loyola Marymount Law School, in Los Angeles (for planning purposes, I believe).
"Se trata de movilizar a todo México y presionar en Estados Unidos para que nos ayuden a obtener una reforma migratoria justa y lo más amplia posible”, destacó Javier Rodríguez, de la Coalición 25 de Marzo. ("It is about mobilizing all of Mexico and exert pressure within the US to help us attain a fair migration reform and as wide as possible," said Javier Rodriguez, from the Coalicion 25 de Marzo).
They will call for a boycott longer than one day and they will also call junior high and high school students to walk out, like they did last year. Given the sad state of affairs in Congress... I tremble to think they might be more effective this time around. It is time to get moving and to prevent further damage to our country.

May Day. What a surprise.

[sheana]

They should just boycott everything, including the U.S. and get their behinds back home.
I agree though, more marches will scare the heck out of Congress. Last time they passed S 2611, this time they will give them anything and everything.
Wish there was more that citizens could do.

[Vigilanteman]

I'll put it on my calendar to be sure and shop at Wal-Mart on May 1 and any of the other targeted businsses on the boycott days.

[republican4ever]

Well... the real news here is that this time they are planning more in advance, with more resources, and with the "blessings" of the "new' majority in Congress. Aside from that, they learned from the mistakes they made last year. So... we might indeed be in for a surprise.

[Clemenza]

If the illegals boycotted any of the Wal-Marts in New Jersey, they would have to shut down.

[Navy Patriot]

Yep, illegals are going to only shop at Bloomingdales' and Tiffany's from now on. Student walkouts will raise their semester grade to F, and prepare them for those new lucrative minimum wage jobs. So much better than Walmart.

[tiger-one]

Calling ICE

[3AngelaD]

That would be Pinko de Mayo. I think we should all start boycotting Mexican products, for instance, tequila, until they stop overrunning our country. Suprise, this group also opposes the war in Iraq. It doesn't take a genius to figure out who's funding these PsOS.

[TXBubba]

Okay, someone clarify. I thought animals had migration and people had immigration. Or is migration interchangeable? Then why have two different words.

[Jim Robinson]

"and with the "blessings" of the "new' majority in Congress"

Ironic, isn't it.

[onyx]

Excellent, potlatch!!!

[republican4ever]

It's not the illegals dropping Wal-Mart that should be cause for worry... it's the blind/idiotic legal residents and citizens who also buy there... there might be a lot more you think!
As for the grades... who cares? The problem is that then they taunt the Police, they get caught, the commit suicide and blame it on the cops (happened last year in LA... google Antony Soltero), and so forth and so on.

[potlatch]

Thank you onyx!

[onyx]

May Day ping!

[dalereed]

How can we encourage them to extend their boycott to 365 days a year?

[acapesket]

I'll be buying at Walmart! My Cuzzie/23 yr teacher told me that she can't shop there anymore! I asked her why and she said her Labor Union ( Whatever those a* hole teacher's Nationals and locals told them) because of "Unfair Labor Practices"!!
I wanted to kick her teeth in but it was New Years weekend and I love her dearly..
I said
"Wal-Mart has done more for poor people in this country than any other Corporation in America"
She went for a walk as did my big time cuzzie who advises folks at Merrill Lynch..
This is the crap that they get in their Union News and I believe that even with Seniority , it's the Ultimate in Scary!
Somebody or some Move on.org A hole is following their buying habits, they either believe it , or it's true.

[Graybeard58]

Just heard on the tube that Wal-Mart is the largest private employer in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

[Birdlady]

How can we encourage them to extend their boycott to 365 days a year?

YES!!!!!!!!

[republican4ever]

migration = to move from one country, place, or locality to another (Merriam Webster does not specify whether it applies to humans as well as to animals)

immigration = to move into or come to live in a region or community especially as part of a large-scale and continuing movement of population (Obviously applied to humans)

outmigration = to leave one region or community in order to settle in another especially as part of a large-scale and continuing movement of population

Also: emigrate: to leave one's place of residence or country to live elsewhere

So... what say you?

[NormsRevenge]

I think it only fair that every student that leaves for a day or two is denied re-admittance..

and boycotting Wal-Mart and US products,, heck, we still make stuff in the US? ;-)

China will not be happy.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Round them up and ship them out.

[onyx]

It's beyond sickening that we lost our firewall in the House.

[republican4ever]

Wouldn't that be great if it could be done? ...or if the Federal Government would do it? But nah... it ain't gonna happen this year either...

[SoCalPol]

Thanks O. you have FRmail

[NormsRevenge]

We'll survive,, as long as the Presidential veto pen isn't locked away in al gore's lockbox.

[onyx]

Thanks and now I have replied. :0)

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Won't happen any year.

[republican4ever]

:-(

[JustaDumbBlonde]

"It is time to get moving and to prevent further damage to our country."

What is it that you are proposing?

[devolve]

[Irish Eyes]

Great I think I will go to Walmart tomorrow. It is usually to crowded.

[republican4ever]

I wish I knew!!!!!
But a brainstorm might help. Aside from unimaginative klutzes like me... in this forum there are lots and lots of people with sharp and clever ideas.

[Navy Patriot]

While I see the reason in your analysis, leftie boycotts are always for publicity, form over substance. Walmart can break any leftie boycott by cutting the price on a Playstation 3 by twenty bucks or hiring a hundred new employees. Either will put about 3000 people in front of the store, mostly lefties.

[potlatch]

Lol, very serious - and speedy!

[republican4ever]

Yep, supporting Wal-Mart for staters would be nice. And let them know it. Blow the horn!

[Pelham]

With any luck it will feature huge crowds waving Mexican flags.

[republican4ever]

You're right... that also used to be called hypocrisy... at least when and where I grew up!

[republican4ever]

Yes, it will...

[Jaysun]

The illegals are doing themselves a great disservice by aligning with the far left kooks that hate free enterprise. Whatever. They'll have no effect anyway.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Just have ICE there at the rallies.

[chatham]

Is "Loyola Marymount Law School, in Los Angeles " a Catholic school?. If it is, aren't they using Church facilities to support Illegal activities.

As a Catholic of seven decades it has always been impossible to use Catholic facilities without an act of God.

What happened to "Render unto CAESAR what belongs to Caesar", these words are attributed to Christ.

[republican4ever]

"...They'll have no effect anyway..."
I hope you are right, but lets not forget who is "in charge" of Congress now... yuck!!!

[oldenuff2no]

If a church is used for political reasons it should lose it's tax free status. That's the law!!!!

[republican4ever]

It is Catholic... Jesuit, to be exact.

[republican4ever]

Not a church, a Catholic university.

[sheana]

I am not worried about Walmart, Walmart will survive without the illegals or the teachers.
I don't wanta shop! I want to stop Congress and the President in any way possible from pushing through amnesty.
That is a heckuva lot more important than supporting Walmart in my opinion.

[Pelham]

ICE won't dare arrest them. We have an administration that prosecutes Border Patrol agents and gives amnesty to alien drug smugglers. That lesson isn't lost on our demoralized front line in the immigration war.
