A group of Hispanic people in Reno have called for a three-day boycott of all businesses in northern Nevada after a federal raid in which 54 suspected illegal workers were arrested.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials on Thursday raided 11 McDonald's restaurants owned by Reno businessman Luther Mack, leading to the arrests of several employees.
"We feel we Latinos have been bushwhacked, charred and ICE'd by our government," said Gilbert Cortez, president of Casa Latina Centro de Informacion, that "This land belongs to God and not to the United States."
Mack said he originally hired the workers and was surprised that people would lash out at him and his business on their behalf. "I was rather surprised and in fact hurt," Mack said. "I got victimized by the people I was trying to help. I got caught between a rock and hard spot, but I understand.
Isn't this biting the hand that fed them?

Those very same workers were part of a raid not just because they were illegal...but for IDENTITY theft...let them boycott if they want to...just round them up and send them packing back home wherever that is....what dont these people understand? Illegal is illegal...criminal is criminal...and before anyone says they arent criminals, let me say this, if someone stole your identity and you paid the price for someone elses actions, you'd want their head on a silver platter...if you say otherwise, then your a fool too...

If Gilbert Cortez believes "this land belongs to God and not the U.S.", then his house or business sits on that land which means anyone can go inside and take anything they want since it all belongs to God anyway.

Anyone breaking and entering in to a home, a business or a country has no respect for anything.

I, for one, hope more raids like this one are to come.
And Gilbert Cortez can kiss my American A**.

i'd tell them tough sh1t. There's more to come. Ask him who his god is first and foremost. I'm willing to bet he's Roman Catholic. Maybe he needs his a55 handed to him. It would send a strong message to the Nazi regime.
