Thread: When will we boycott Fast Food, Illgeal employers?

When will there be a concerted effort across the board, to at least boycott restaurants and fast-food, to show a power for the wrongs of illegal immigration? If you keep going to all the 'FAST FOOD' places, they will NEVER LEAVE!!

THERE needs to be an across the board effort to close down the economy of the illegal aliens.

When will that happen?

My thought for a while now has been that getting the employers who hire illegals where it really hurts, in the pocketbook, would be the single most effective thing we could do. The government is NOT EVER going to secure the border or enforce our immigration laws. Businesses that hire illegals are the main incentive for illegals coming here. (If amnesty happens, those businesses will immediately lose their cheap labor to labor unions, but apparently businesses are too stupid to figure this out.)

But, my fear has been a boycott backfiring on us. Since there are so many of them here now, and with all their political support and advocacy groups, I have been afraid a publicized boycott of businesses could backfire, with illegal advocates supporting those businesses more.

This is an example of the problem with many Americans not waking up about this issue until recently, when it is now so bad, with so many of them here.

I gave up all fast food a few years ago when I saw them being taken over by the illegals.I also lost 20 lbs.lol

I have not been to a fast food restaurant in at least 2 yrs. McDonalds was first and I love Big Macs .

.I only eat at a select few restaurants I know do not hire IA's.

Dunkin Donuts instituted Basic Pilot as a result of pressure from the movement.

My family and I have pretty much stopped eating at any resturant period due to some horrible luck in about five different ones ranging from popular fast food joints to higher priced chains.In good taste I will say that we "discovered" extra ingredients in all of these places within about a six month period.As amazing to us as it seems it only makes us wonder what we have eaten from these places that we didn't find in time.

If we can't make it from home we eat left overs from the day before.No more Resturants for us period.

You may have a point BIN, but there are two things working in our favor, I think.

One, there are still far MORE of "us", than "them". Remember, Americans and legal immigrants are still many more in number than illegal aliens, and upward of 80% of the population opposes illegal immigration and does not favor amnesty.

Those are considerable numbers which could make an impact on an employers' bank account should they put their minds to it.

What further works in our favor.....especially now....is the economy. More and more people all the time are becoming resentful of, and proactive against, illegal aliens competing for jobs Americans desparately need and because of the economy, restaurants are already taking a hit.

Done correctly, if ever there was a time when we can successfully target those employing illegal aliens, it would probably be now.

I hope you're right. I know there are more of us against illegal immigration than for it in terms of numbers, but I don't know if enough Americans would be willing to boycott the businesses because of it. On the other hand, LaRaza or other such ethnocentric groups can just dictate the marching orders to the illegal aliens, and get support from MSM, etc. It sounds like some people already boycott businesses, but I think its important the businesses know why people are boycotting, or it seems pointless, though it probably helps the person to feel better.

I really hope you're right. I sure would be willing to boycott any business I needed to if I thought it would work.

Personally where I live, I have seen a trend. The fast food places that I go to are no longer overrun by English challenged illegals. It's mostly teens and middle-aged adults. It seemed to all start with Jack in the Box, when they implemented e-verify.

For you newbies, I posted this pic a while back when I went inside Jack in the Box
