Immigration rights organizers today will call for a nationwide boycott of work, school and shopping on May 1 to protest congressional efforts to clamp down on illegal aliens as part of pending immigration-reform legislation.
The "Great American Boycott of 2006" is only one in a series of large-scale events the protesters hope will sway lawmakers to put millions of illegal aliens on track toward permanent residency and U.S. citizenship.
"The massive March 25 march and rally in Los Angeles of well over one million immigrant workers and their supporters -- along with protests and student walkouts throughout the United States -- is irrefutable evidence that a new civil rights and workers' rights movement is on the rise," said Raul Murillo, one of the key organizers and president of the Hermandad Mexicana Nacional.
"In order to realize the goal of legalization for the millions of undocumented workers, we have the obligation to keep pressing the Congress of the United States to legislate immigration reform that grants full legalization for all immigrants."
Sarah Sloan, a spokeswoman for boycott organizers, said the boycott, additional marches and rallies in at least 30 cities nationwide beginning next week are designed to highlight opposition to House legislation that would crack down on illegal aliens.
The Act Now to Stop War & End Racism (ANSWER) coalition, which organized the Los Angeles march to win "full rights for undocumented workers," is confident its new "national action" will prove successful.
ANSWER's steering committee includes the Free Palestine Alliance, the Partnership for Civil Justice, the Nicaragua Network, the Korea Truth Commission, the Muslim Student Association, the Mexico Solidarity Network and the Party for Socialism and Liberation. It denounces as racism attempts to criminalize illegal aliens.

I am planning on hiring a contractor to fix 2 roofs. Legal Americans only. I'll pay to have it done by Americans.
Good luck finding a roofing contractor with an Anglo or Western European crew!.
And if suitable, think about having a metal roof put on your house so you won't have to replace it for a very long time.
Can metal be installed over 1 coat of shingles?
I've heard that they are planning the protest internationally, but I don't know about the boycott. I'm sure we'll see the liars claiming huge support from abroad, but the 1st of May is a national holiday anyway, at least in Mexico, so most people have the day off as it is.
United for Peace and Justice, International ANSWER, World Can't Wait, and all of the Communist/Green/Islamist groups SUPPORT illegal immigration.
And Communists link up with other communists! Such as the Bolivaran circles leading the illegal immigrant march.
I can't wait for a day of shopping where everyone will be speaking English, and no Mexican gangs in the aisles. I'll be able to relive the many, many years of enjoyable shopping I had before our little Mexican compradres decided to invade.
I guess the Democrats and RINOs fall into the Socialist/Communist camp, so you did actually include them as well.
Fellow Travelers the World over have a significant hop in their step over this amnesty/no security quest of the Communist Democrats and RINOs.

I am 1/4 Native American BTW....My reply got never got posted.
Dang! We need a mezzo-ZOT that lets us make fun of a poster when he/she is gone.
1/4 -- wow. That pus you in a very string moral position for these types of things.
Way back when people did what they had to do, since they didn't have a Nanny Govt to catch them. Nowadays we have people telling us to our face they hate us, the don't respect us, they hate our way of life, and why is their welfare check late this month dammit?
I'm about an 1/8th Cherokee- almost no hair on my chest and many of the other attributes that go along with native American heritage.
