Victoria,
Texas is a town about 80 miles west of Houston. Local Hispanic leaders there,
in opposition to pending Immigration Legislation, boycotted all Caucasian owned
businesses in the Victoria area last month as a demonstration of their economic
impact on the community. The boycott was declared a success by the Hispanic
community, noting that revenue in Caucasian owned businesses was down by 19%.
Business
owners declared the boycott a success as well, pointing out that shoplifting
was reduced by 77%, money orders sent out of the country were down by 97%, and
the cost of daily clean-up and trash collection was down by 84%.
Shoppers
reported that they could actually hear English being spoken throughout the
community for the first time in recent memory, and customers actually paid for
purchases with real money, not government debit cards or food stamps!
Can you
believe it?.. too sweet!!!!!!!!!
