Bush’s immigration stance has Midland roots
Tagged: boycott, TexasPosted on: June 24th, 2007“Late last spring, Republicans in this West Texas oil town called for a boycott of Dona Anitas Mexican restaurant, a retaliatory step against its owner, Luz Reyes, for closing shop and showing up at a rally against proposed new penalties for illegal immigrants.
But President Bush’s three best friends here defied the boycott and went to the restaurant, Bush’s favorite when he lived here, regardless. One of them, the presidents close confidant and former commerce secretary, Donald L. Evans, told Reyes: “Luz, you didn’t do anything wrong. We love you.”"
