Hispanics to lead boycotts of US manufacturers
By Martín Barillas

Echoing a similar boycott planned for May 1 throughout Mexico, some Hispanic community leaders are urging Hispanics to boycott certain goods and manufacturers in the US while the US Congress is considering sweeping changes to the current US immigration laws and practices. Jon Garrido, an Arizona entrepreneur and publisher, is leading an effort to boycott Kimberly-Clark paper products, such as Kleenex, Huggies, Scott towels, and Depends, since Republican Congressman James Sensenbrenner, who is a leader in immigration reform measures, is an heir to the Kimberly-Clark fortune. According to a website sponsored by Garrido (www.axkc.net), who has developed sites for Wal-Mart and administered Federal housing grants, Sensenbrenner is the “author/sponsor of HR 4437 which would turn 11 million undocumented immigrants into felons, punish anyone guilty of providing them assistance, and construct an iron wall between the US and Mexico. “ The website goes on to urge Latinos to boycott Kimberly-Clark goods in the US and Latin America and to contact everyone they know about the connection between Congressman Sensenbrenner and the paper products manufacturer. Garrido’s websites also tout boycotts of General Motors, Exxon-Mobile, and AOL. The boycott of AOL, parent-company of CNN broadcasting, stems from opposition to what some observers see as CNN newsman Lou Dobb’s promotion of the Sensenbrenner immigration bill. On April 11, Garrido’s HispanicNews website called for Lou Dobbs to step down at CNN and vows to continue to harass him even though he should leave for another network. Garrido’s website refers to Dobbs’ broadcasts as a “theatrical charade” in which Dobbs “continues to bash Hispanics.”

Garrido was asked to appear on Lou Dobbs’ show, but refused, saying in an emailed statement that he urges all Hispanics not to appear on the show and that he wants it removed from the air.

In Mexico, labor unions, government agencies, and others are calling for a boycott of US companies such as McDonald’s and Sears. Hoping to allay the effects of the potential boycott, the US Chamber of Commerce in Mexico has stated that such a boycott would be counter-productive in the debate over immigration to the US and pointed out that Sears in Mexico is owned by Mexican plutocrat Carlos Slim – one of the richest individuals in the world.
