Here is something from August of 2009 on how well boycotts by Mexicans work.

Victoria Texas is a town about 80 miles west of Houston. Local Hispanic leaders there, in opposition to pending Immigration Legislation, boycotted all Caucasion owned businesses last month as a demonstration of their economic impact on the community. The boycott was declared asuccess by the Hispanic community, noting revenue in Caucasion owned businesses was down by 19 percent.

Business owners declared the boycott a success as well, pointing out that shoplifting was reduced by 77 percent, money orders out of the country were down by 97 percent, and the cost of daily clean up and trash collection was down 84 percent.

Shoppers reported they could acually hear English being spoken throughout the community for the first time in recent memory, and customers paid for purchases with real money, not government debit cards or food stamps.

Great story. Was this reported in the local paper? If so, do you have a link?
