Group responds to boycott
Potomac News ^ | September 4, 2007 | KEITH WALKER

Prince William Chairman Corey A. Stewart, R-at large, said congress and the president aren't doing their jobs when it comes to illegal immigration, so the task is left to the county.

"Congress has failed. The president has failed to attack this problem and as a result, communities such as ours are paying the price in terms of crowded classrooms, crowded jails and hospitals," Stewart said Monday at a press conference held by Help Save Manassas, a local grassroots group opposed to illegal immigration.

Stirrup called Mexicans Without Borders a lawless group. "Mexicans Without Borders is a strongly anti-American group that refuses to embrace American culture, refuses to respect American sovereignty and certainly does not respect American laws," he said.

John Steinbach, of Mexicans Without Border, said the claims were "absurd."

The name "Mexicans Without Borders" tells you that Stirrup is absolutely right. This group does not respect our sovereignty or our laws.

All of our politicians are hoping that we will get bored about the illegals and we will just let it go. I believe that is why they won’t even talk about it. Their hidden agenda concerning the NAU is part of it also. This whole thing needs to be kept on the front page.

"Congress has failed. The president has failed to attack this problem . . . ."

Not true.

They did not try.

They refused.

Big difference.

If there was a boycott this past week in PW, I surely missed it. Ate at Don Pablos Sunday, plenty of servers, food was hot and tasty. Went to Costco, packed with people of all hues and fully staffed. Went to the mall, tons of folks around, no evidence of fewer folks, no lines at stores, everything seemed to be in working order.

Traffic still heavy, sure sign that nothing has changed.

As of last Thursday, “Not One Damn Peso Week” was nothing but a burrito fart in a high wind.

For some more insight into this group, consider that its original name was “Woodbridge Workers Committee,” part of the Saul Alinsky organizing network. That name gave the game and their agenda away, so they changed to Mexicans without Borders. Apparently giving your organization a name that disputes the notions of national sovereignty and the rule of law is more “acceptable” to the public than an organization name that links you directly to the communist and socialist movements. Oh, and boycott organizer Ricardo Juarez is also closely associated with ANSWER.

They should change their name to “Mexicans Without Borders—Except Between Us And Guatemala”

John Steinbach, of Mexicans Without Border, said the claims were "absurd."

John Steinbach, of Mexicans Without Border, said "Who you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?"

Mexicans and Central Americans have been coming to the United States to pick the crops and work on constructions sites for generations, he said.

Yes, and every couple of generations Americans pitch a fit when they become a problem.

"They are coming over to do the work that we are asking them to do. They're coming here because there is a demand," Steinbach said. "The only difference now is that they're in Prince William County."

Well, a growing number of us are asking them not to come. Americans are waking up to the fact that our country is being given away.
