Illegals plan a new boycott

[republican4ever]

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.

How can we encourage them to extend their boycott to 365 days a year?

YES!!!!!!!!

[republican4ever]

migration = to move from one country, place, or locality to another (Merriam Webster does not specify whether it applies to humans as well as to animals)

immigration = to move into or come to live in a region or community especially as part of a large-scale and continuing movement of population (Obviously applied to humans)

outmigration = to leave one region or community in order to settle in another especially as part of a large-scale and continuing movement of population

Also: emigrate: to leave one's place of residence or country to live elsewhere

So... what say you?

I think it only fair that every student that leaves for a day or two is denied re-admittance..

and boycotting Wal-Mart and US products,, heck, we still make stuff in the US? ;-)

China will not be happy.

It's beyond sickening that we lost our firewall in the House.

[republican4ever]

Wouldn't that be great if it could be done? ...or if the Federal Government would do it? But nah... it ain't gonna happen this year either...

[SoCalPol]

Thanks O. you have FRmail

[NormsRevenge]

We'll survive,, as long as the Presidential veto pen isn't locked away in al gore's lockbox.

[onyx]

Thanks and now I have replied. :0)

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Won't happen any year.

"It is time to get moving and to prevent further damage to our country."

What is it that you are proposing?

Great I think I will go to Walmart tomorrow. It is usually to crowded.

[republican4ever]

I wish I knew!!!!!
But a brainstorm might help. Aside from unimaginative klutzes like me... in this forum there are lots and lots of people with sharp and clever ideas.

While I see the reason in your analysis, leftie boycotts are always for publicity, form over substance. Walmart can break any leftie boycott by cutting the price on a Playstation 3 by twenty bucks or hiring a hundred new employees. Either will put about 3000 people in front of the store, mostly lefties.

[potlatch]

Lol, very serious - and speedy!

[republican4ever]

Yep, supporting Wal-Mart for staters would be nice. And let them know it. Blow the horn!

[Pelham]

With any luck it will feature huge crowds waving Mexican flags.

[republican4ever]

You're right... that also used to be called hypocrisy... at least when and where I grew up!
