'El Gran' boycott

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.

If so, every leader of any of these actions should be arrested and jailed in Gitmo.

It's not going to happen. Every illegal entering this country is the direct responsibility of American politicians who bowed to business pressure to let them work in the US for slave wages and zero benefits.

Prepare for a [corrupt] Canadian/American/Mexican economic union.

If the national strike works maybe it will wake up the Americans. I have my doubts though.

Let them strike, I say we cut off the power and water to every mexican neighborhood for a month in return.

Trust me as a floridian that has had to deal with hurricane for the last several years I know what it is like to do without. One week and they will be begging for help, one month and they will head back for mexico.

Here's another good idea (I think). They are also saying that they are not going to spend any money May 1.

We should all hold back on buying any large ticket items until May first. Go shopping, buy that new lawnmower, new car, stock up on groceries, go out to dinner, etc. Spend like crazy on things you need and make sure they're NOT made or assembled in Mexico.

Let's make May 1, 2006 a banner sales day for America!

Save them time....supervisors need to inform their employees that if they miss work that day, they are fired. If they want to inflict economic pain then they had damn well be prepared to FEEL economic pain.

Might even be a good day to start a week long ban on money transfers to Mexico. I'm sure that would grind the Mexican economy to a halt.

Or better yet, anyone caught protesting on that day should have to show proof of citizenship and if they cannot, send their asses packing back to their country of origin, post haste.

I hope that this goes through, and then companies who have hired illegal aliens might finally see that although it might benefit their short term profits, it's going to be damaging to the country, and even the companies self interest in the long run.

And the more "middle class" people who are inconvenienced by this "boycott," the better it will be for finally forcing some action on the border issues by the government. The illegals and their advocates won't be able to garner much support if the MSM would actually report some of what they're saying. But of course, that would be bad, as it doesn't fit in with their agenda. Frankly, it must be killing them, knowing that they share an agenda with President Bush.

But my patience is wearing thin over the issue, and Tom Tancredo is sounding more and more reasonable.

Note to self: don't schedule any yard-work on 5-1.

Interesting... May Day, the official Soviet holiday, as well as the Mexican day of Independence... I don't think that either one of these is a coincidence.

That's one option.

Another might be to tattoo them with "Infidel" across their foreheads and turn them loose in the region of Pakistan where Bin Laden's folks are supposed to be. Maybe with some propaganda that they are 'Western' 'special forces' on a training mission to capture Bin Laden.

Oh, dear. What am I saying. Maybe I should pray some more.

Nah. They deserve it.

I lived in San Diego 10 years and NEVER went to TJ.

I heard enough horror stories and felt that Mexico did not deserve a single penny of mine.

They seem to conveniently forget that their blood is part Spanish.

Maybe we should tell them that we'll agree with them and then do DNA tests on all of them.

And, whatever portion of them is Spanish, that we'll slice off of each of them vertically and ship back to Spain. If the rest of them has a hard time staying alive, their problem. It was their prescription.

"We have to demonstrate to the nation, one more time, that its economic stability depends on us," Navarro said.


Really, our economic stability? I'm in favor of them carrying out their threats here.  Surely nobody 'round here believes that myth; it's right up there with "doing the jobs that Americans won't do". So let them fail. The tide will turn against them sooner or later as legal citizens tire of their lawlessness and propaganda

 But to your point,  no it wouldn't shock me if the orchestrators were cognizant of the symbolic significance of May Day for their little boycott.

How about no Americans attend any Cinco De Mayo celebrations

They've been driving kids out of California high schools on Cinco de mayo for the last 10-12 years. Cinco de mayo has become high school cut day for all the kids, since they started asking certain kids, like those with US flag patches sewn on their backpacks, not to come to school that day. First it was the non-hispanic kids who were running away from the administration sanctioned indoctrination on that day, then the hispanic kids saw everybody else cutting school, they started to as well. On any given cinco de mayo, there are maybe 20% of the students attending school, the rest have taken the hint.
