Que?

Many thanks to Bill Kenney for finding this interesting article.

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 this weekend as a demonstration of their economic impact on the community.

Business owners declared the boycott a success as well, pointing out that shoplifting was reduced by 77%.

And, shoppers reported they could actually hear English being spoken throughout the stores for the first time in recent memory...and customers paid with real money, not government cards.
