mass action to 'paralyze' U.S. economy

The coalition that organized an estimated 500,000 marchers in Los Angeles to protest immigration reform announced its next mass action is "an economic and labor boycott that will paralyze the U.S. economy."

The radical separatist publication La Voz de Aztlan, the Voice of Aztlan, said the proposed boycott is in response to a "racist" measure in Congress.

The House has passed a bill to tighten border security, but President Bush broadly supports rival legislation being debated in the Senate that contains a guest-worker proposal.

Coalition member Roberto Reveles of "Unidos en Arizona" said his group will host a "summit meeting" April 8 and 9 in Phoenix to work out details of the boycott.

The boycott is scheduled for May 1, the Day of the International Solidarity of Workers, or May 5, the Cinco de Mayo celebration.

Armando Navarro, coordinator of the National Alliance for Human Rights, said, "We are living through very dangerous times and we must take advantage of the moment. If we just sit and wait to see what happens, everything we have accomplished so far may go to waste. That is why we must continue the struggle to once and for all defeat that racist (House) proposal."

In Phoenix, an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 participated in a march and rally last Saturday.

"What occurred on March 24 is a consequence of the people being tired of the treatment we are receiving," Reveles said. "The first step has already been taken, we organized ourselves and have completed the first phase, now we have to prepare for the second."

Reveles said the activists "will not rest" until they see the House bill defeated.

"We are sure that the preparations we make at the summit will lead us to victory," he said. "We are united and only united will we be victorious."

La Voz de Aztlan said the two-day summit will be attended by Mexican-American and other Latino groups from Nevada, Texas, Wisconsin, Washington, New York, Chicago, California and other states.

Representatives from Mexico, Central and South America also will attend.

Navarro said the "international boycott" counts on the support of the consulates of Bolivia, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba and Mexico, along with Mexican labor organizations.

"We have to demonstrate to the nation, one more time, that its economic stability depends on us," Navarro said. "I am sure that our sister nations of Latin America, who are also tired of the situation, will unite with us.

The professor concluded: "That is why we will celebrate May 1, 'Day of the Worker,' with labor strikes, no purchases and go out and march. Soon they will see the impact we will have!"

As WorldNetDaily reported, one of the organizers of the L.A. rally was the Mexica Movement, which already has decided it is the "non-indigenous," white, English-speaking U.S. citizens of European descent who have to leave what they call "our continent."

Both Rep. James Sensebrenner, R-Wis., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and a proponent of tougher border security, and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger were caricatured as Nazis by the group on its posters and banners.

The group insists the indigenous people of the continent were the victims of genocide – a campaign of extermination that killed, according to one citation, 95 percent of their population, or 33 million people. Another citation on the same website claims the toll was 70 million to 100 million.

The only solution, says the Mexica Movement, is to expel the invaders of the last 500 years, force them to pay reparations and return the continent to its rightful heirs.

The platform of the group illustrates the diverse – and sometimes extreme – agendas of those participating in the mass mobilizations that have been seen largely as protests against efforts to curb illegal immigration.

The Mexica Movement has big issues with many other equally radical groups participating in the massive, united-front rallies, include the separatist Aztlan Movement.

Aztlan, the mythical birthplace of the Aztecs, is regarded in Chicano folklore as an area that includes California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and parts of Colorado and Texas. The movement seeks to create a sovereign, Spanish-speaking state, "Republica del Norte," or the Republic of the North, that would combine the American Southwest with the northern Mexican states and eventually merge with Mexico.

La Voz de Aztlan identifies Mexicans in the U.S. as "America's Palestinians." Many Mexicans see themselves as part of a transnational ethnic group known as "La Raza," the race. A May editorial on the website, with a dateline of Los Angeles, Alta California, declares that "both La Raza and the Palestinians have been displaced by invaders that have utilized military means to conquer and occupy our territories."

Others in the coalition hope to see a "reconquest" of the American southwest by Mexico. This would not likely take place through military action, they say, but rather through a slow process of migration – both legal and illegal.

My hope is not in earthly things.

You can thank our leaders over the past 40 years for the embarrassment.

Imagine if it backfires?!

Imagine if some inteligent industrialist uses the chance to promot their agriculture robot to pick tomatoes or any other crop.

Imagin if someone developes a better way to drywall or build homes with fewer humans.

This strike could be the best thing for the ecconomy.

So are all of the members of the "mexica movement" with Spanish ancestors going to leave as well?

And why just 500 years? How about 1500 years? That would be before Muhammad...we could simply have the muslims give up all their territories they've conquered since then...of course they won't have any place to go.

I'm sure they'll find someone to take my order at Wendy's just as good as these guys can.

At least the people who'll be taking your order will understand English and will get your order right for a change.

I've said it before but I'll say it again: I'm glad I have no children. There is nothing left to bequeath them. I hope Atlas Shrugs soon. I'll be some patheic Eddie Willers that dies on a train track, but we must all know our true place in the world.

I am no Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be; Am an attendant lord, one that will do to swell a progress, start a scene or two... Hell, I should have been a ragged pair of claws scuttling across the floors of silent seas.

It was a republic. But we could not keep it.

Darn, I meant to add this to the bottom of my above post. The organizations involved right now in organizing the marches and walkouts are very careful about their language. They can say "let's overthrow the government" as long as they don't advocate using force or violence to do it. It's a very thin line, so we need to be vigiliant in the things we are seeing at these rallies. If you see anything that advocates using force or violence you should gather all the proof you can and report it.

I wish the employers would fire each person who doesn't show up for work that day and replace them with an American who is willing to do their job.

Armando Navarro is nuts. Let them strike. If they strike we will all just do as other posts have said improvise and get on with our lives. Or we will make machines to pick crops. I am all for them striking now. I want to see what happens if the mexicans strike. I never before disliked anyone because of their nationality but I am afraid I am going to. If I see one more mexican flag I think I will scream. I am all for people coming here to make a better life but do it legally!! Armando Navarro says we are invaders? Hes a safety threat to America.

If the rest of the country is like here it's almost impossible to actually fire anyone. They are afraid of being sued. About a decade ago I worked for a company that had a guy that just could not do his job. Previously he would get great performance appraisals (employee reviews) so he could move from group to group. When a supervisor, with an actual spine, was assigned this guy and he failed at every task he was assign she decided to fire him. It took a year and a half gathering paperwork, independent reviews, additional training and other nonsense. When she finally fired him he sued the company. Of course the company caved to avoid a public lawsuit. It was a scam from the onset.

I think that's why many companies use contract help rather than hire a person. It's much easier to fire some one. I had to fire a contractor once because he damaged basically everything he touched. It took less than 5 minutes to revote his pass, cancel his network accounts, escort him to the front door and have his contract ended.

So, here's the plan.

First, we leave our crappy third world hell hole, because our leaders and our economy suck, and we can't get jobs.

Second, we'll get jobs in the USA, by sneaking around, doing whatever it takes to get some work.

Third, we decide to...not work. Like, quit working. Go on strike.

Logic was never their best option.

I see. So if these Marxist sponges calling for a boycott stop taking welfare, don't go to hospitals for free taxpayer health care, abandon schools they don't pay taxes for, and don't collect food stamps we paid for, that will paralyze America.

Cool. Go for it.

I know that you're right. Ain't it scary. That's pretty close to the situation in France.
