Mexican boycott in Victoria, Texas a HUGE success!!!
mexipaper

Victoria, Texas is a town about 80 miles west of Houston. Local Hispanic leaders there, in opposition to pending Immigration Legislation, boycotted all Caucasian owned businesses last month as a demonstration of their economic impact on the community. The boycott was declared a success by the Hispanic community, noting revenue in Caucasian 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 sent out of the country were down by 97 percent, and the cost of daily cleanup and trash collection was down by 84 percent.

Shoppers reported they could could actually 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!

Haha, too funny! Boycott reducing Caucasian business income while at same time reducing Caucasian expenses which resulted in higher profits.

I say let them boycott businesses every day by returning to where they came from!

Remember some years ago there that was 'Day Without a Mexican' where all the Mexicans stayed home from work? It was wonderful, no traffic jambs, no long lines at the store, everybody spoke English, and nobody gave me dirty looks just because I'm white. I wish we could have more of those days.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 976402


What, in your personal opinion, is "racist" about it? I see nothing having to do with "race" here. "Mexican" is not a "race." It is a nationality. "Illegal alien" is not a race. It is a federal crime to enter our country illegally, or to give aid or support to someone who has entered our country illegally. So, since nationality and criminality are not a matter of race, clarify, please.
