In our newspaper this week there was a full page ad for their bank, never saw such a spread before. It was a waste of money in my opinion.

Let them waste the money of the illegals. They are on PR damage control. Even though they say our Boycott doesnt bother them. What are they going to do when we alert millions more Americans?
