I don't think this has made the news yet. It'll be in a Spanish-language newspaper tomorrow, though.
Activists in Mexico and the US are planning a new boycott for May 1. It will be targeted against US products and companies, especially Wal-Mart.
On Feb 3 and 4 there will be a national conference at the Loyola Marymount Law School, in Los Angeles (for planning purposes, I believe).
"Se trata de movilizar a todo México y presionar en Estados Unidos para que nos ayuden a obtener una reforma migratoria justa y lo más amplia posible”, destacó Javier Rodríguez, de la Coalición 25 de Marzo. ("It is about mobilizing all of Mexico and exert pressure within the US to help us attain a fair migration reform and as wide as possible," said Javier Rodriguez, from the Coalicion 25 de Marzo).
They will call for a boycott longer than one day and they will also call junior high and high school students to walk out, like they did last year. Given the sad state of affairs in Congress... I tremble to think they might be more effective this time around. It is time to get moving and to prevent further damage to our country.
May Day. What a surprise.
They should just boycott everything, including the U.S. and get their behinds back home.
I agree though, more marches will scare the heck out of Congress. Last time they passed S 2611, this time they will give them anything and everything.
Wish there was more that citizens could do.
I'll put it on my calendar to be sure and shop at Wal-Mart on May 1 and any of the other targeted businsses on the boycott days.
Well... the real news here is that this time they are planning more in advance, with more resources, and with the "blessings" of the "new' majority in Congress. Aside from that, they learned from the mistakes they made last year. So... we might indeed be in for a surprise.
If the illegals boycotted any of the Wal-Marts in New Jersey, they would have to shut down.
Calling ICE
That would be Pinko de Mayo. I think we should all start boycotting Mexican products, for instance, tequila, until they stop overrunning our country. Suprise, this group also opposes the war in Iraq. It doesn't take a genius to figure out who's funding these PsOS.
Okay, someone clarify. I thought animals had migration and people had immigration. Or is migration interchangeable? Then why have two different words.
Ironic, isn't it.
Excellent, potlatch!!!
It's not the illegals dropping Wal-Mart that should be cause for worry... it's the blind/idiotic legal residents and citizens who also buy there... there might be a lot more you think!
As for the grades... who cares? The problem is that then they taunt the Police, they get caught, the commit suicide and blame it on the cops (happened last year in LA... google Antony Soltero), and so forth and so on.
Thank you onyx!
May Day ping!
How can we encourage them to extend their boycott to 365 days a year?
I'll be buying at Walmart! My Cuzzie/23 yr teacher told me that she can't shop there anymore! I asked her why and she said her Labor Union ( Whatever those a* hole teacher's Nationals and locals told them) because of "Unfair Labor Practices"!!
I wanted to kick her teeth in but it was New Years weekend and I love her dearly..
I said
"Wal-Mart has done more for poor people in this country than any other Corporation in America"
She went for a walk as did my big time cuzzie who advises folks at Merrill Lynch..
This is the crap that they get in their Union News and I believe that even with Seniority , it's the Ultimate in Scary!
Somebody or some Move on.org A hole is following their buying habits, they either believe it , or it's true.
Just heard on the tube that Wal-Mart is the largest private employer in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
