Boycotted business!
« on: May 21, 2008, 06:47:35 PM »

Victoria, Texas is a town about 80 miles west of Houston.

Local Hispanic leaders, 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.

The boycott was declared a success in the Hispanic community, noting that revenue in Caucasian owned businesses was down 19%.

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