Pay Special Attention To CITGO Gas
DO NOT Purchase Any Products From CITGO
(Fuel Or Oil)
Citgo has only one shareholder - Hugo Chavez
He Is NOT SHY About Telling Us He Is An ENEMY Of The USA
Why Should WE THE PEOPLE
Support His Hatred Of Our Nation ??

Chavez is far more danger than “critic.”
He has repeatedly sided with a rogues’ gallery of America’s enemies
including Castro and Saddam Hussein,
and recently has supported the Iranian regime’s quest
for nuclear weapons.
Now, as oil has become even more essential
to American security and prosperity,
he sits atop roughly 14 percent of U.S. crude oil imports.
Chavez Has Repeatedly Threatened
To Cut The Oil Imports To The USA
Lets Kick This Bast*ard In The NUTZZ
Before He Does It To Us

1. This nation is a melting pot of cultures. In asking someone to not speak Spanish you are re-inforcing the idea that anti-immigrats want to cleanse the country of non-white culture.
FYI: The U.S doesn't have a national language. Therefore anyone is entitled to speak any language they please.
2.Mexican products are high class. The only reason YOU wouldn't buy any Mexican products would be because you can't afford them.
3. Amnesty for ALL! Do you actually plan on going up to an owner and asking... sir do you support amnesty because if you do then I won't buy your products. I though the citizens of this country separated personal beliefs from business.
4. Wal-Mart is the number one retailer in the U.S. I wonder why that is so... (perhaps cheap goods caused by cheap labor caused by undocumented workers?).
5. What gives you the right to dictate what people should and shouldn't buy? Good luck getting people to stop drinking Pepsi.
6. You mean get rid of Legal Hispanic artists? How racist can you get?
7. What's wrong with Mexican beer? Do you somehow hope to cripple the Mexican economy in some way? People will not stop drinking beer. They didn't stop when prohibition was enacted and they won't stop because of some radical ideas proposed by some narrow-minded people.

There are lots of ways to get your point across. As a rule boycotts are feel good tactics that usually do not have sufficient impact to force any real change.
Eventually you will have to address the behavior that is causing the problem which in this case mean putting some legal "teeth" in the application and enforcement of immigration laws. That's what I am trying to accomplish.
However, that being said, there are some things that have not been tried but conceptually have the ability to drive the policy makers to their knees. If every citizen changed there W-4 to maximize their take home pay (increase exemptions) for just 30 days the federal treasury would dry up like the great Salt Lake. Your point would be made and the enforcement of immigration laws would begin. That's what you call hitting them where they live, in your pocket.

I applaud your position but after giving much thought to this issue and problem, I have come to the conclusion that not buying isn't an option anymore. The problem has become way too pervasive.
The only answer I can image might work is to institute a worker/visitor program wherein folks that want to work here need to get legal and stay legal. This needs to be policed stringently.
The illegals need to be given a reasonable length of time 6-12mths maybe, to file for work permits.
They need to have employer endorsements that include insurance for health and liability to be able to stay.
Then we need to crack down on the employers after that time to ensure Americans are being given the opotunity to work and if they don't want it, then the immigrants can work but must be covered for insurance to protect the American people's public interest, pay taxes like the rest of us. If they can stay here for a certain period of time, and then they too can gain use of health care or whatever public program a (Maybe 5-8 years?)
Understand that these people are here to work, that means non working families are not included. Non working spouses ...back home they go and take the kids with em'
Also, end the anchor baby concept. All immigration is done by appropriate process and legal application.
I feel this approach would mandate that people either get legal, or leave this country.
Slowly, we will pick up those who do not obey these new measures in traffic stops and other minor violations and then they will slowly, quietly and without fanfare be removed from the USA. Never to be allowed in legally again, I might add. No citizenship for law breakers. EVER!
I have a good plan to see this through that would give everyone and eveything a chance to adjust back to hiring Americans, or (downside) paying more for goods and services or seeing our jobs go overseas or to Mexico but the bottom line is...the Mexicans will no longer be here using and abusing America and Americans and we will be back to law and order.
And we can go back to speaking/teaching/learning English in the USA again!

Can we have the border fence completed instead, please?
My view is, putting the border fence in place will induce all those ambitious folks to start setting up shop IN Mexico, where it'll do the most good, support their communities etc., and do trade with Mexico across a well-regulated border. As for china, they've got it even worse than Mexico, 1.3 billion mouths to feed, or so,
I don't know, I think there should be a global initiative on immigration, a global accord etc, something along the lines of 'free trip home' 1st time, jail second time, prison the third.
Mass relocation just relocates the problem of people that lack the capacity to support themselves. It's only right and lawful that borders be maintained and mutually respected, in my view.
I don't know, I think it'll all work itself out. Just let several more major US companies go under, like I think Ford is about to,
and the desire to emigrate to the United States will be greatly diminished by our overnight transformation into a 3rd world country. Thanks, Mexico, thanks, everybody! LOL

I think a far more effective tool is your vote. Keep an eye out for candidate forums and go to them. They typically open the floor up for questions. Ask them a loaded question. Put them on the spot. If you don't get someone new elected than maybe you can scare them into the right position.
This is the time of year they are wanting your vote. Don't let them get away. Pols respond to embarrassment. Use it.
If you don't have a couple lawn signs in your front lawn with pols that support some of your views than call their campaings and order them down here to plant one. Make your opinion heard to every car that goes by and don't worry if you live on a dead end road.

United states has been invading many countries around the world with their multinational companies. You dont have a clue of how many companies hire immigrants. If the governement of the united states stops buissiness with other countries whats going to happen to the economy?
Other countries are not going to buy american produce and wont allow american companies in their land. It would cause an economic crisis and with this the unemployment rate would increase.
lady you are starting to sound loco. You are like a fidel castro gone wild.

I already do.
But if Kraft Macaroni and Cheese 7 1/4 oz (which used to be 7 3/4 ounces a box, damn them!), one one meal a day mainstay for myself, gets bought by the Mexicans, then i'd still rather eat dirt than lose my country.

Ah yes. Let's all ruin america's economy because it makes a point. You may want to stop eating taco's and healthy food and drinking beer and coke, because a lot of the bottling is done in mexico. And let's all try laugh our fat asses off at Dumb American entertainment, and we may never watch anything or listen to anything that is worthwhile. Yes, you do think these things through quite thorougly
