From the Associated Press
Mexican activists are calling for a boycott of all U.S. businesses south of the border on May 1.
The campaign, aimed at pressuring Congress to legalize undocumented migrants in the United States, was timed to coincide with a campaign by activists urging them to skip work and avoid spending money to demonstrate their importance to the U.S. economy.
The Mexican boycott was being promoted on websites and through e-mail messages, one of which warns, “That means no Dunkin’ Donuts, no McDonald’s, Burger King, Starbucks, Sears, Krispy Kreme or Wal-Mart.”
