Latino Organizations

* This is in reference to all the immigrant bashing that is going on throughout the nation and particularly here in Orange County. I wonder what would happen if all immigrants would stop buying all American goods and pursue an economic boycott throughout the nation. I bet that this country of ours would really be in trouble then.

Latino organizations should unite in order to organize such a boycott in case it is necessary to do so. Latino leaders should consult community-based organizations, such as One Stop Immigration & Educational Center, which has served the Latino community since 1971. This organization became a primary source of information and referral of all social services required by this population. The longevity of the organization is an indication of its success. None of its clients are on public support and this will ensure their continued self-sufficiency and full participation in American society.
