Dont know if this is authentic or not, but the spirit of it is sobering


An Interesting Event in Victoria, Texas As reported recently in the Houston Chronicle:



Victoria, Texas (pop. 55,000) is a town about 80 miles west of Houston.



Local Hispanic leaders, in opposition to pending Illegal Immigration Legislation, boycotted all Caucasian owned businesses in the Victoria area this past weekend as a demonstration of their economic impact on the community. The boycott was declared a huge success by the Hispanic community, noting that revenue in Caucasian owned businesses was down by 19%. Thus proving the economic impact illegal aliens have in the community......



Caucasian Business owners declared the boycott a huge success as well, pointing out that shoplifting was reduced by 95%, money orders sent out of the country were down by 97%, and the cost of daily clean-up and trash collection was down by 84%.



Shoppers reported that they could actually hear English being spoken throughout the community for the first time in recent memory, and customers actually paid for their purchases with real money, and not government debit cards or food stamps.....

Snopes says false. Rumor started in 2006, added to over the years, embellished etc. Was an email rumor.....
