It's hard to go shopping when you're in a War Zone, Mexico.

We could always learn to do for ourselves .....again.

Apparently Reynosa is about to host the Narco War Games Invitational!

“This was above all a protest against the Arizona law,”

So why target Texas retailers?

[DoughtyOne]

A Day Without Mexicans NATIONALS has big message, but little chance of being addressed truthfully.

[capt. norm]

Instead of just a day without Mexicans, they should have made it a century without Mexicans and see how that works out.

[fish hawk]

There is a joke going around the web that Yes, the Mexicans spending went down 10% but on the good side, kidnapping down 16%, hold up down 30%, murders down 28%, break ins down 44% etc. etc. Let em boycott.

[BARLF]

It is always about money and or politics. Not just illegal aliens, but everything.

Country last.

[oneamericanvoice]

Wouldn’t it be great if all those who do support the law closed up shop for a day? Call it a Day without Americans Day.

There was a coffee shop that I ate breakfast and dinner at for years. Then on May 1st several years ago, I arrived for breakfast to find the place closed for the day so they could boycott me and folks like me. No notice. Just screw you. I haven’t been back since.

—”a day without Mexicans”—jails with empty cells, schools with plenty of space and higher academic achievement, hospital emergency workers standing around twiddling their thumbs waiting for action, etc., etc.,-—

[oneamericanvoice]

Because alot of Mexicans seem to think that all Hispanics must think alike, and all non-Hispanics are against them. They’ve picked sides, and the one they picked are the thieves. It astounds me that they are so darn proud of a nation that treats them so badly.

Ramiro Cienfuegos, president of the Reynosa Chamber of Commerce

Ramiro One Hundred Fires? One hell of a name there Ramiro.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Gov Perry’s a jerk.

[mylife]

No kidding. Your gripe is with Mexico.

[Ole Okie]

Apparently Reynosa is about to host the Narco War Games Invitational!

I thought Juarez had that locked up.

[SwinneySwitch]

Apparently Washington’s Gov. Gregoire is being considered by Obama for Solicitor General.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Yes. God help us all. That bug-eyed moron is worthless.

[SwinneySwitch]

¿Quién sabe?

[LaineyDee]

So why target Texas retailers?

Ignorance beyond the pale...

If Perry actually said he would not support such a measure in Texas as Arizona did......then he needs to go.

[mylife]

He is saying that because half of Tx is Mexican.
He wants reelection.
