Thread: AL-15 city firms close in protest , DOJ sets up hotline

This is about being illegal, not Hispanic. The reaction to the law by Hispanics speaks volumes to their intent.

15 city firms close in protest

By Eric Fleischauer

At least 15 Hispanic-owned businesses in Decatur closed Wednesday to protest the state’s new illegal immigration law.

“The Hispanic community tried to do an economic boycott,â€

They have threatened and executed these pro illegal alien invasion boycotts again and again, but there is no evidence that any of their boycotts have had any significant impact.

Seems to me the only losers are the buisnesses catering to the Hispanic crowd. Closing for a day is kinda like shooting yourselves in the foot.

The part of this that is the most problematic is that the Civil Rights Section of theDOJ, Headed by Tom Perez, formerly of Casa de Maryland, has used Federal Funds to set up a hotline and email to gather alledged complaints abuses. I can only believe that the DOJ would only want these stories to use in the appeal to the 11th Circut court as a document dump at the last minute that leaves Alabama no time to dispute them.

Justice hotline

The U.S. Department of Justice has set up a hotline and email for the public to report civil rights concerns related to enforcement of Alabama’s illegal immigration law.

The hotline number is 855-353-1010.

The email address is HB56@usdoj.gov.

Hope they also boycotted the welfare office, the emergency room, food pantries, energy and rent assistance offices, etc., etc.

Does the US Justice Department have a hot line number to report illegal aliens?

That is the most clever comment I have ever seen on this forum.
