Thread: Support Amnesty or Else???

Support Amnesty....Or Else

That's the message some business owners are receiving from amnesty advocates as the May 1 "Great America Boycott" approaches.

Roger Pelletier, who owns Providence Automotive Engineering Co. on Broad Street, does not want to close, "but I'm afraid if I do stay open, are they gonna ruin the place -- vandalize it?"

Pelletier says he was approached last week by two people whom he says "were Dominicans with a poster and everything -- they just asked me if I was willing to close [the shop] to help them support that immigration thing, whatever that is that they're fighting."

He adds, "I do a lot of business with Hispanic people. They're fine to do business with. But I can't see losing a day of wages for this whole thing. What are they gonna gain from this? I can't understand."

Pelletier says, "I've been here 46 years. I pay taxes, I pay workers' comp, I have Blue Cross" for his employees. "Now who is gonna come in here and tell me what to do? I was here first."

Mr. Pelletier may have reason to worry. According to the same news article, Juan Garcia, head of the Immigrants in Action Committee said "he was disappointed that some businesses plan to remain open. While not Hispanic owned or operated, those businesses have a largely Hispanic customer base."

"That's their decision," says Garcia. "But we say to the people who don't close, right now is a time for business to support the [Hispanic] community," that has supported them "for years and years."

And just in case you missed his point: Garcia stresses, "We are not forcing anyone to close."

Yeah, right.

This was posted and is now being discussed on 96.9FM Talk Radio in Boston. They are also asking businesses in NH and MA to close as well and owners are angry that they would even ask them to do this and also what will happen if they don't.

Do you have any type of link to this. That we can get hard copies of this?

Yes here it is.... www.969fmtalk.com and go to "The Natural Truth" Blog by Michael Graham.

I'm really sick of this bully mentality.

That is the trouble with dealing with these illegals, they are bad news on so many levels!

These radical illegal immigration leaders,and protesters are breaking the law by forcing and threatening ppl into closing their businessses.

If this was any other race of "extremist" threatening people to close their businesses they would be in jail, and made the front page of every major News Paper, and TV station in the nation

Yes many of these business owners are calling and saying they feel threatened if they do not close on May 1st, others are saying they will stay open and take what comes to stand up for their rights as a business owners to make their own choices.

i GOT IT, ALREADY SENT IT OUT. TO THE PEOPLE.

What the heck are you all talking about? If they riot they are through. Anyone on the fence comes to our side. The riots are inevitable, lets get them over with before they become more entrenched.
