Victoria, Texas is a town about 80 miles west of Houston.
Local Hispanic leaders there, 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 by the Hispanic community, noting that revenue in Caucasian owned businesses was down by 19%.
Business owners declared the boycott a success as well, pointing out that
shoplifting was reduced by 77%.
Shoppers reported they could actually hear English being spoken throughout the stores for the first time in recent memory...
And customers paid with real money, not government cards.
