Tagged: border, boycott, prince william county, VirginiaPosted on: August 16th, 2007“Latino business owners agreed yesterday that new Prince William County policies aimed at cracking down on illegal immigrants are costing them customers, but they were sharply divided on the best way to deal with it.
One group, led by some of the Salvadoran community’s wealthiest business owners, announced plans to “play by the rules” and launch a vigorous lobbying campaign to have the policies repealed. An hour later, about 15 other business owners said they supported a call by the group Mexicans Without Borders for a general strike and a boycott of merchants who decline to support their cause.”
