How does selling caps with Mexican insignia "sell out Americans"?

Perhaps they're doing it just to counter the other bad things that lefties have been using on them.
Perhaps they feel that if they DIDN'T, they might get sued again.
Everyone loves to sue the rich guys.

You'd never see this on ST Pat's Day, Christopher Columbus Day, or some other ethnic Holiday. People only do this when they can scam the Mexicans.

If Mexicans wanted to buy industrial electronics from you would you sell to them? If you knew Mexicans represented a good potential customer base to you, would you target advertizing toward them?
I'd rather see them spend money at the local Wal-Mart than send it to Mexico.

Retail business is at the mercy of the consumer. We should not shop where it conflicts with our political ideology. The NY Times is a great example of the consumer playing havoc with a companies stock value for these reasons.
If you do not shop there and others do the same, the company will eventually get the message from its stock holders and change will come.
Vote with your wallet. Companies take us for granted and seek new sources of revenue, such as the buying power of the illegals and their supporters.

At my local WalMart, Home Depot and local chain grocery stores, all run "Blue Light" specials in Spanish. I contacted the managers (28 - 32 yrs old) and was told that they "needed to run them as so many shoppers didn't speak English" and they only desired to let those shoppers be informed as to what was on special as well.
When I complained that the Spanish language ones run before their English language ones I was told that was "just the way that they had been entered into their automated system and that there was no preference of language."

It's called Cinco de Mayo. You see the same thing on St. Paddy's day, or any other holiday. They market to the demand. On Cinco de Mayo, there is a demand for that product, and thus they sell it. It isn't about 'invasions' or illegal immigration, it is about supplying a demand. You don't hear complaints about all the Irish stuff on St. Paddy's day.

I try tp shop at Wal-Mary as little as possible. They ones in our city are always dirty with stuff in the aisles - shelves are a mess. I'd rather pay a bit more and shop at Target.
To: DH
Next thing you know they'll be playing Irish Jigs on St Pat's day.....and heaven forbid, green everywhere in the store!!!
To: DH
WEll, the Texas Rangers were Los Rangers last night.
I didn't mind it. I never thought anything about Cinco de Mayo celebrations untill all the demonstrations and border stuff.
But, there may have been some karma involved because they lost for the first time in six games.

I have been boycotting Wal-Mart for years now. This will hopefully motivate more Americans to do the same and keep more of the 10 BILLION Dollars worth of Chinese imports on the shelves and warehouses. Grrrrrrr I hate that company!

What a riot!!!!!!
I think your post says more about you being a racist mental midget than anything else.
Do you gripe about St. Patrick Day parades, merchandising, etc.
How about the the NBA, the NHL and Co's selling Canadian team merchandise.
What about capitalizing on the recent international baseball tournement.
How about selling merchandise with county logos related to World Cup events.
I guess you think everything with a British emblem or related to European heritages should be banned.
Yawn, I'm not impressed. In fact I'm amazed you don't realize how racist and pathetic your comment was.
Have a nice day

When I was back in Memphis, before leaving for Slovakia (Jan 05). I went by a Walmart out in the suburbs late at night. Half of the customers were Mexican. Ten years ago, I never saw a Mexican in Memphis.
I am sure they make a good customer base for Walmart.
I am happy to no longer be there.
