Boycott Mexico NOW!!!

Having lived in Mexico for the majority of my adult life, I was the first to jump on the bandwagon for the Guest Worker program...my opinion has changed. Early this morning, a very dear friend of mine along with her 3 year old daughter, who is also my goddaughter, came close to death at the hand of 10 illegal immigrants in Escondido, California.

Apparently, anyone can rent an apartment in California, and they don't have to abide by the rental contracts, at least not those who enter our country illegally from Mexico.

At about 3:16 am this morning a fire broke out in the apartment just below my best friend's unit. Fire department officials reported that there were candles in the kitchen of the downstairs unit. When officials arrived on the scene they found my friend leaning out of her bedroom window gasping for air. They were afraid she was going to jump. She wasn't...she just needed air for her and her baby.

This comes just days before the Latino community is planning an economic boycott here in the United States and companies run by American concerns in Mexico. They hope to strongarm the American government with these ill-advised tactics.

How many Americans are in Cancun, Acapulco, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico City, or Puerto Vallarta? Don't we spend millions in Mexico each year?

America...boycott Mexico, Mexican products, Mexican restaurants run by Latinos. They are asking Americans to continue to harbor fugitives. An illegal immigrant is just that...he is ILLEGAL. He hasn't earned the right to live here freely. And he certainly doesn't have the right to endanger the lives of innocent people while they sleep.

God Bless the USA and all those here by legal means.
