For the past week to ten days the downtown area of Homestead Florida, just south of me, has been a ghost town. Rumors of INS sweeps have caused panicked Mexicans to flood the phone lines of all the latin American consuls here in Miami.

Now, suddenly, Homestead seems to have the biggest of the Boycott rallies! My classes have been largely empty. I'm running about 60% absentees today and that's 30% higher than normal.

Funny thing is, here in the inner city, we don't have large numbers of Mexicans. Large numbers of Haitians (MANY of those illegals) yes, but very few Mexicans.

Most of my folks are good old native born black folks. They're staying out to support their minority brothers in their struggle for equality. The reality is (for the high school senior) any excuse to skip school and PARTY!

Homestead is being used on FNC as a model for their march

Anyone hearing Peter King on FNC?

He is speaking for us

Also she said many emails are coming in mad

That when we find out which businesses have let them off today THOSE are businesses we will no longer do business with!

Lonewacko keeps track of the who's who behind the boycott.

Surely, you gave them all zeros for the day. There's no excuse to skip out today or any day.
