"Mexican workers hold signs reading 'Don't Buy Gringo Products. Long live the Boycott,' as they demonstrate in Mexico City, Friday April 28, 2006. A demonstration Friday by thousands of Mexican workers to promote union solidarity turned into a protest against America's vast influence on the nation's economy, with many protesters saying they will take part in a boycott of all things 'gringo' next week.

"Halt the repression of the Fox government?!?!?" LOL! These idiots don't know what repression is - if a Hugo Chavez ally ever comes to power, they are going to find out the hard way.

Can you imagine the reaction if Americans were in the streets with signs that read, "Don't Support Wetbacks" ?

heh. Boycott gringo products? Won't that be stealing money their friends make over here that gets sent back to Mexico? Shooting themselves in the foot, aren't they?

Screw Mexico and Mexicans.

I wouldn't buy any of their worthless, third-world products on a bet. (And I stay away from their produce for sanitary reasons.)

Heck, that boycott will be easy. We don't make anything in this country anymore, and we certainly don't export anything to Mexico.

Navigate this site and see all the companies and products that Gringos can boycott made in Mexico. Maybe if the Gingos stop buying the products, the Mexican legislature will get the point:

The site is a bit out of date, but the usual suspects are still producing in Mexico. I'm sure Ford motor wants a boycott of its maquiladora on top of its bad press...
