MEXICO, D.F.— To Americans what "hurts them and what they care about is their pockets". That was the conclusion to which migrant leaders arrived. Based on that logic, they asked all of Mexico to boycott U.S. businesses that promote anti-mexican actions.

On May 1, 2006 the Mexicans in the United States asked for the first time, solidarity of their countrymen, but they did not have echo; nevertheless, they did not lose hope that this measure can bring positive effects to their cause if the boycott is national.

They suggested not buying during a year, products of the business Kimberly Clark, property of the republican senator James Sensenbrenner, author and sponsor of the proposed bill HR4437, that would criminalize around 12 million immigrants lacking identity papers.

"We ask Mexican businessman Carlos X. González to stop distributing that brand in this country", asked Luis Angel Nieto, of the Coalition of Immigrant Rights of Sothern California.

The immigrants criticized that the government would permit businesses such as McDonald' s and Starbucks to pay eight dollars the workday in Mexico, when its products cost the same thing that in the United States, where they pay eight dollars, but by each hour.

"They are all the same. Therefore one must not consume their products, even if the boycott is for a short time, but let them feel the pressure", he added.

To sensitize the Mexicans that live in Mexico, Enrique Morones of the organization Borders Angels, considered necessary to do a campaign of diffusion regarding the abuses that the Americans commit against the undocumented.
"There would be more possibilities to promote a boycott from Mexico, but we should organize very carefully, so that it does not turn out to be counterproductive", he said.

Ahhh HA HA HA. ROTFLMAO!!



They are going after the companies that fund them!! Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

Going to have to check Kimberly Clark site to be sure I'm using as many of their products as I can.


I've been boycotting anything marked "made in Mexico" since the Kennedy/Reid statement designating all those against amnesty as racists and Nazis and La Raza did the same.

I'm glad some one brought up 4437..I missed that number maybe if I were the leader of this nation I would propose that many deportations by the hour.Oh well..I think we should let Morones know that a NATIONAL BOYCOTT would be a great plan.

By "carefully" Morones means that he doesn't want his opponents ( us ) to spin the boycott against them. Time to call Lou Dobbs and others, so that our side reports about this boycott as an anti-American campaign.
The backlash will come accordingly!

Does anyone know what this guy does for a living, other than stir up illegals? Is Mexico lining his pockets also? I say we boycott. Pick a product, better yet lets quit paying taxes!

Boneheads!! Shooting themselves in the foot. So what if they do not buy Starbucks products down there, I live in the Pacific NW and barely do, and it has little effect on Starbucks, they are worldwide and little old Mexico boycotting them is going to have almost no effect on their bottom dollar.

Besides, I NEVER see Mexicans up here buying Starbucks products, so doubt they buy a whole lot down their either.

Morones is an American citizen. I think he wants the illegals to boycott here, not in Mexico.

Oops sorry, I guess he does want a boycott in Mexico. What a joke.

I think he has one too many vowels in his last name.
