This clown's trying to confuse "Hispanic" with "illegal immigrant".
SOP for the pro-illegal side...

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?
As Rush has always taught us, do the math.
If Hispanics didn't spend a dime on one day, this guy estimates the state losses $54MM that day. So, multiply 54MM by 365 and you get $19.71 BILLION.
I find this number beyond realistic.
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.

Thank you! I'm tired of being lumped in with the illegal crowd. What the press fails to understand is the fact that hispanics who have been here fro hundreds of years resent illegals. We support the measures the AZ Legislature wants to pass, and we ain't boycotting s#@t!!!!!
The people here who really do just want to work, don't have time for the leftist college la raza types.

I have a better idea; they boycott buying in America altogether by going home.
I can see how it must be insufferably annoying. And of course the people perpetrating this lie are the ones prattling on about "racism".
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.
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...
BUMP
[[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!
That's right. People want to make this an ethnic issue. It's not. I don't care if they are Canadians, Mexicans, Italians or whatever. Lawbreakers are lawbreakers. I can't afford to support myself let alone people from foreign countries.
I know plenty of anti-illegal Hispanics. Prop 187 was supported by at least 40% of California Hispanics at the time.
thank you :-)
The ironic thing is the liberals who support illegal immigration for their own selfish needs are treating Mexico's welfare class like indentured servants. They are the real racists.
"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."
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.
