ALIPAC anti-immigrant organization advocates for illegal immigration enforcement, and H. Nelson Goodson's innovative campaign "You Decide" allows Latinos and non-Latinos to decide where to limit their spending in the U.S. economy and the business/corporate market, to strongly, effectively and economically advocate for immigration reform.

Raleigh, NC (HNNUSA) -On Thursday, Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) announced it had raised $36,000 surpassing their actual goal of $30,000. On Monday, William Gheen, President and Spokesperson for ALIPAC had sent out a massive email announcement that ALIPAC would suspend operations for illegal immigration enforcement, if contributors failed to donate funds to keep his organzation afloat. The group was about $7,000 short of its projected goal, but within 72 hours of its March 31 dateline it raised more than $13,000, according to Gheen.
ALIPAC will conitnue their campaign operations against the approval of the U.S. Congressman Luis Gutierrez Immigration Reform bill. ALIPAC is the strong avocate voice for its membership (mostly Republican conservatives) to pressure the U.S. government to enforce current immigration laws and control illegal immigration.
On March 21, more than 200,000 of Latinos and non Latinos gathered in Washington D.C. for the "March for America" Rally to draw attention to the much needed Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America's Security and Prosperity (CIR ASAP) Act of 2009, H.R 4321 bill submitted by U.S Congressman Luis Gutierrez (IL-Dem.) bill in December.
ALIPAC is expected to move forward with their united counter movement with the ultra conservative Republican Tea Party in April, against the March for America, a pro-immigration march, according to Gheen.
Congress is on a two week Spring recess and the U.S. Senate failed to submit their own Immigration Reform version, which most likely mean it won't debate the issue this year. Legislators, especially Democrats wil have difficult time to get re-elected after approving Health Care and to deal with Immigration Reform another controversial issue could actually mark their faith of not getting re-elected, according to political and immigration analysts.
As a counter measure to create awareness and to help boost the Immigration Reform movement, a stronge message by H. Nelson Goodson, an Immigration Reform activist from Wisconsin was sent out nationally before March 21, for "Hispanics to boycott spending in the U.S economy, by limiting their spending to bare essentials only. Limit spending equals Immigration Reform." Goodson's message "You Decide" where to limit your spending, takes the Immigration Reform movement into a new level of collaborative networking and has been circulating through text messaging, emails, and social networks like Facebook and My Space.
Apathy about passing Immigration Reform among Latinos has been reinforced in the last few years by the lack of action in the U.S. Congress and President Barack H. Obama's failure to address the issue in his first year as promised.
Immigration Reform in 2010 is at most a stagnated issue and will not be addressed by federal legislators seeking re-election in November.
Goodson's innovative campaign "You Decide" allows Latinos and non-Latinos to decide where to limit their spending in the U.S. economy and the business/corporate market, to strongly, effectively and economically advocate for immigration reform. The U.S. Economic Boycott would for the first time in history allow U.S. Hispanics to manage their economic buying power, which began on March 21st and lasts until a fair comprehensive Immigration Reform bill is passed.
Every individual and especially Latinos/as are aware of the spending and buying economic power (projected U.S Hispanic $1.3 trillion buying power by 2013) they do have in the U.S. The national shout out or call for action is for everyone who would like to sent a strong message to the U.S. Congress and President Barack H. Obama that we do count in this country and we are very much a part of it, Goodson added.
