MEXICO CITY - “Nothing gringo,” warns the rallying cry of Mexican activists calling for a boycott of all U.S. businesses south of the border on May 1.

The campaign, aimed at pressuring Congress to legalize undocumented migrants, was timed to coincide with “The Great American Boycott,” in which activists are urging migrants in the United States to skip work and avoid spending money to demonstrate their importance to the U.S. economy.

Better than that even. I'll pay the money mad farmers for the privilege of picking their d@mn two dollar a head, retail lettuce.

Just kidding @$$holes-but I will learn to live without it if you continue to employ illegal aliens.

You're saying that even in LA, the announcement signs are still in English? Scary that they're not here. I read a "cute" little article in the paper about how some classes in my old school are taught in Spanish. And we're not talking Spanish class.

Last week, there was some idiot in the Dallas Morning News saying, "We're buying our supplies today so we don't give them any business tomorrow." Good plan, genius.

These are the SOBs that need to be on the first buses headed south.

Sad to see that multiple malls in the Dallas suburbs fit the description.

"We're buying our supplies today so we don't give them any business tomorrow."

They're being led around by the nose, by a bunch of leftwing activists, and nobody ever accused them of being economically literate. They only "get" symbolism and emotion. But, they're likely to find that the targets of their economically ineffectual, largely symbolic act, will remember this, and begin avoiding any place that has even the slightest whiff of sympathy for illegal aliens. Putting this into terms that leftie activists will understand, there will be blowback as a result of this boycott.

The local paper on Sunday had a classified employment ad placed by CEMEX, the Mexican cement company. Seems they are operating in a number of countries now and have received special consideration from Washington, so that they can grow market share here in the U.S. without running afoul of the "Anti-dumping" laws.

Dubai and other U.A.E. ports are experiencing explosive infrastructure growth and are embarked upon huge construction projects, building cities and condo highrises and the world's tallest structure (at 5,800 feet) on a sand bar right out in the middle of the Gulf. I've seen pictures of these on the internet and they are positively breathtaking in scope and execution (maybe a poor word choice there).

In that part of the world I guess they have all the al-Qaeda operatives well-greased, so no one's going to bomb anything. So here's CEMEX making a mint selling these regimes the thousands of metric tons of concrete needed for their mammoth road-and-city-building projects.

Pulled CEMEX's website. The Board of Directors are 6 smart Mexican males who all graduated from the same technical institute in Mexico, then went on to get advanced engineering degrees at universities here in the states.

Now they are employing "gringos" in the U.S. for low level finance jobs. What a laugh they must be having back home. The U.S. has taken out all of Mexico's trash, so now the business owners can concentrate on profits with no trickle-down to the lower classes. No "great society" or welfare programs or any of that "nonsense" to get in the way down there, that's for sure.

LOL. I'll bet he, and many others, thought they were sooooo smart.

No, they still want the money. These people don't understand that they are killing the goose what lays the golden eggs. They risk death to to come here, then fight like hell to destroy those things that made us great. Fools!

Nothing gringo?

I'll expect the welfare lines, emergency rooms, and ESL classes to be empty that day, TYVM.

better yet, to complement a Border lock-down, freeze all wire transfers to ANY country.

I say we "gringos" need to go out and BUY something on May 1st, whether we need it or not. Let's demonstrate that these illegals DON'T make that big of a difference to our economy.
