So much for the boycott

So much for the boycott

Tags:

I guess the pressure was a little too much to bear. Via the Arizona Republic:

Immigrant rights advocates in the Valley have backed off plans to support a nationwide worker boycott slated for May 1 to call attention to the economic importance of undocumented immigrants.
Organizers fear too many participants could lose their jobs and are concerned an economic boycott could alienate employers and fuel a backlash undermining any gains made after the massive April 10 march and rally in Phoenix that drew more than 100,000 supporters, many of them undocumented immigrant workers.
Too little, too late. We’re still supporting Nothing Mexican for Cinco de Mayo!

The old saying about letting sleeping dogs alone is a true one. Once you wake the dogs you may not be able to lull them to sleep again.
