He estimated the state could lose at least $54 million if all Hispanics closed their wallets and purses for a day.

As if all Hispanics would. The legal ones are plenty anti-illegal. This clown's trying to confuse "Hispanic" with "illegal immigrant".

Hells Bells! Are we hispanics or Americans first? What other laws do you wanna disobey? How 'bout if government officials decided not to cut welfare checks? Or Cops decided not to protect the victims of crime? Let's see what really happens, maybe this protest won't float. Will you listen then?

I keep reading these articles about people planning one day boycotts and how much of an effect that will have on the economy, which I think is rediculous. If you boycott for just one day, the same money will probably be spent the day before or the day after. And effective boycott requires time.

"What these leaders don't understand is that we can't leave our jobs," said Garcia, 33, a Mexican immigrant who installs drywall. "We have a responsibility to get the work done. "

The people here who really do just want to work, don't have time for the leftist college la raza types.

Organizers of an economic boycott are urging Hispanics to stay home from work and not spend money on Tuesday as a way to protest laws aimed at making life in Arizona more difficult for illegal immigrants.

I have a better idea; they boycott buying in America altogether by going home.

I hear the illegals are going to send all their earnings back to Mexico in protest.

Think of it - US businesses will lose out on ALL that revenue.

a Mexican immigrant

No he's not. He's a Mexican illegal alien.

As to "dominating the construction industry in Arizona", that's a rather recent development. It came at the expense of Arizonans who used to dominate said industry.

But what the hell, right? They were just lazy Americans, according to the Open Borders gang here. They just wanted too damn much money to work outside in that 115 deg heat. Better to get some darkies who can't vote and pretty much are stuck with their lot in life to do the job.

Wait....I've heard that rationale somewhere before...where was it....darn, gonna come to me soon...

[[The Hispanic workforce drives Arizona's construction, restaurant and hotel industries, though the numbers are unclear, said Harry Garewal, president and chief executive officer of the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.]]

The only thing that these clowns drive is an automobile....... llegally and without insurance.

They make it sound like the US economy would collapse without illegal aliens from Mexico. Utter BS!

Why geez, I guess if they're all going to stay home for the day then all the illegals won't:

1. Drive cars without auto insurance and won't get into any accidents where Arizona's taxpayers will have to foot the bill.

2. Commit crimes, so Arizona's taxpayers won't have to spend money to (a) arrest (b) provide defense attorneys or (c) pay to house, cloth, feed and educate them while incarcerated.

3. Collect welfare (WIC, unemployment, subsidized utilities, etc) at taxpayer expense.

4. Get sick or injured on the job, so Arizona's taxpayers won't have to pay for doctors, surgeons, emergency room staff salaries or supplies.
