From azcentral:
Human rights advocates plan a series of boycotts and blockages from the Valley to the U.S.-Mexico border to protest legislation moving through the Arizona legislature and the Minuteman Project.
Activists from Riverside, Calif., plan to block the border between Douglas and Agua Prieta, Sonora, on May 1 to protest the Minuteman Project, a civilian border patrol that started in April in southeastern Arizona.
Despite objections from the mayors of the cities of Douglas and Agua Prieta, protest organizer Armando Navarro said he plans to bring 50 to 100 protesters to the border to call attention to the anti-immigrant sentiment growing in Arizona and across the country. The blockade is planned for "several hours," he said, at the port of entry on the Mexican side of the border.
Also May 1, activists plan to meet in Phoenix to organize a boycott of Arizona Cardinals football games to show opposition to anti-undocumented immigrant legislation moving through the state Legislature. The Cardinals are scheduled to play a football game in Mexico, and organizers plan to pressure the Mexican government to pick a team from another, more immigrant-friendly state, said Phoenix-based organizer Salvador Reza.
I wonder if the ACLU will be back to watch these guys or maybe they got so stoned while they were here they're still stumbling around in the desert.
The Minuteman Project was peaceful, let's see what happens with this bunch.
I say we give these California kooks a special Arizona welcome and treat them to a sample of the sentiment they're so interested in protesting.
