Victoria, Texas (pop. 55,000) 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 past weekend 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.

Because if you hear someone speaking another language, oh no! Such a thing to have to endure! Seriously, though, there are a lot of things that freak me out (yay anxiety disorder :( ) that other people wouldn't understand, but I live in a university town in the UK and while it's mostly white, there are still a number of students from various places that sometimes walk around together speaking in their heathen moon language and OH GOD, WHO GIVES A SHIT.
And yeah, as I said in my last two posts, I'm sure this also totally happened, completely as stated.
Sounds like a sad rehash of a sad old conservative fairy tale. They said the same thing about the "day without immigrants" a few years ago.

I did some google searches and laughed at all the racist republican's posting this to message boards and getting responses like this one. Gullible isn't a strong enough word.
It's not true (even without researching it). As stated previously, this all a bunch of racists' fantasies of what "reality" really is and how horrid these fine upstanding WHITE KKK citizens have it now that the half-breed muzlin kenyan terrorist acorn dark overlord telepromtr is in the white house.
Yeah, geez, imagine we are all victimized by having to hear foreign languages spoken in the YEW ESS AAY - teh horer teh horer...
This is typical trashy racist rant b.s., and no, it never happened.
This is not an immigration problem as you might think. Victoria as with all of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California were originally part of Mexico until President Polk decided that the boundary of the newly independent state of Texas was all the way to the Nueces River. When the Mexicans did not hand over this land to the Americans upon the annexation of Texas, they started the Mexican American War. It was ended when American conquered Mexico City. In negotiations during American occupation of New Mexico City they demanded and were given half the land mass of New Mexico. So, it is not a matter of Mexican immigrants rather white immigrant.
Now that i know that legeal citizens don't litter, shop lift or pay with utilize government subsidies, i know how to fix the US's problems.... Amnesty!!!
it makes as much sense as this article...
