Boycott Mexico too?
A number of people have been calling for a boycott of Aruba, since the
government there seems to be dragging its feet in the Natalee Hollaway case. Might Mexico open its eyes if all we gringos called a tourist boycott? In specifically, I would like for Fox and friends to get their back into the drug smuggling and murders. And I would like for Bush and Fox, and the 100 worthless American senators and the 400 plus equally worthless congressmen, to deal with the illegal alien issues. Boycott Aruba AND Mexico! |

wrote .... A number of people have been calling for a boycott of Aruba, since the government there seems to be dragging its feet in the Natalee Hollaway case. Having once been to Aruba, about as far from a tropical island paradise as any of the Caribbean Isles I recall, I had already passed on vacationing there. Might Mexico open its eyes if all we gringos called a tourist boycott? In specifically, I would like for Fox and friends to get their back into the drug smuggling and murders. And I would like for Bush and Fox, and the 100 worthless American senators and the 400 plus equally worthless congressmen, to deal with the illegal alien issues. "Deal with" the illegal alien issue? Let's see, before blaming Bush and Fox (and with the clear understanding that after oil revenue, remittances by Mexicans living in the US, working and sending money home is now #2 in the makeup of mexico's GNP, passing tourism of recent years), the place to start is in your home town and elsewhere, "boycotting" all those US businesses that flagrantly violate US law by employing directly or indirectly "illegals", then you might stop by the state and federal courts which mave mandated that health care and social services be provided to those illegals, just before asking "La Migra" why illegals apprehended in much of the US are simply realeased and given a summons to appear in immigration court, a choice few seem to exercise. Then, since illegals form a big chunk of the independent subcontractors in the US residential roofing trades, check to make sure that all those green cards and SS numbers are valid the next tiime you reroof your house. Need some concrete finished? Check the documents of the guys with the skimmers and trowels. Power company trimming trees with an indfependent contractor in your neighborhood? My goodness, do those fellows have residence permits, the real sort, not the kind purchased at the buis station. Try Spanish for communication, since many will have only a fragment or two of English at hand. Boycott Aruba AND Mexico! Go to work! Take an illegal's job. TMO |

While you make some valid points, it's not bloody likely. |

wrote in message Boycott Aruba AND Mexico! While you make some valid points, it's not bloody likely. True.. And I knew it when I posted. And in reponse to the other posters challenges, I have no doubt that Mexican laborers are helpful here. Then let the government get a guest worker program going so that they can work legally, pay taxed, drive legally, get car insurance, etc. The problem is not with the people, so much as it is with the lazy assed politicians. |

Hear, hear! Gawd should only forbid they have to pay SSI, whatever, for the woman who does their housework, laundry, and provides daycare for their children, so the other parent can be going to exercise class, manicure, shopping.... |
