I've got an idea--what if we "Gringos" stopped visiting Mexican tourist traps like Acapulco and Cancun? And not just on May 1.

This "Gringo" is not buying, drinking, or visiting anything MEXICANo -EVER AGAIN.

Somehow, I think they will suffer more than I will !!!

Put your refried beans where the sun don't shine.

Not a bad idea at all. Hit them in their wallets... just like they do to American taxpayers.

I assure you that if gringos stopped patronizing Cancun and Acapulco, they would shrivel up into just another no-income Mexican town with nicer infrastructure.

Unfortunately, American spring breakers and vacationers will do no such activist thing; they will party on and only care about a good deal on airfare.

Not to mention that if we DID stop going there, the entire populations of Cancun and Acapulco would be crossing our border to look for work.

Well, don't just stop with Mexican locations. Boycott mecican establishments in the US (even US owned ones like Taco Hell).

My GF and I would on occasion visit a local mexican eatery. And while I can't confirm the status of the staff, I would be surprised - really surprised - if they were all legal. I'm not going to visit it anymore.
