would you boycott?
major businesses and industry in this country who habitually continue to hire illegals? If the government does nothing to curb this problem....would you participate in a nation wide boycott to punish businesses who do? what if these "businesses" are some of your most frequented businesses? (for example major food chains, restaurant chains....wal-mart, home depot for example...etc?)

That is one thing we haven't tried yet,but I think it's about time. We need only do one at a time to make the point.The Swift meat company for example is a habitual hirer of illegals,to say at this point that they "didn't know" is a joke.So if everybody did their research,and didn't buy any of their meat products for say six months,that would nearly crush them,if not push them into bankruptcy. But since you would only be boycotting one company at a time it would have almost no affect on your lifestyle. It could work very well,but do the American people have the backbone for it. It would seem the fact is no they don't.

I do not care about formal boycotts but if I know a company is knowingly hiring illegals I do not do business with them.
Do I realize that if we ship them home I might have to pay more for lettuce or they night have to make a machine that picks it but I am willing to pay the price to save my country.

YES!! I already do, and have plans in the works to help others do the same. Again - I do NOT oppose anyone someing here LEGALLY who will respect our laws and cultures, and pay taxes for their labor like the rest of us. The problem is, we don't enforce those ideals now, and I'm FED UP.
Great question, please keep it up. This problem can absolutely be fixes if we keep people focused on it.

a great first step. "joeandhi" The Iwo Jima avatar is great. My father was a 5th division marine who was wounded at Iwo. At 81 he can't understand how the 12 million or more illegals are being allowed to ruin this country.

Yes, I would. I absolutly hate it when someone who cannot speak English tries to help me. How can they possibly know what I need if they can't understand what I am saying?

Yes, I would! In fact there are many business establishments that I've already stopped patronizing.

The biggest threat that should be boycotted would be Wal-Mart as they keep sending all our money to our biggest enemy, CHINA!!!
I would be in support of a guest worker program that forced workers to pay taxes as usual and penalized sending money to foreign countries.
Keeping the plants open in the US is more important than the cheep crappy product we keep buying from CHINA!!!
CHINA!!! CHINA!!! CHINA!!! CHINA!!! CHINA!!! CHINA!!!
Wal-Mart Wal-Mart Wal-Mart Wal-Mart Wal-Mart Wal-Mart
CHINA!!! CHINA!!! CHINA!!! CHINA!!! CHINA!!! CHINA!!!
