American Patriot Companies

I was recently disheartened to learn a vast number of American businesses have gone to the dark-side, so to speak, by catering to illegal immigrants.

One is, of all things, Bank of America, which aggressively seeks to provide services to/for "undocumented" immigrants. As my bank is (but soon will thus not be) BOA, it made me wonder what other businesses do I regularly use which also cater to felons who threaten our nation.

Perhaps that list would be hard to determine. But at the very least, I would like to stop buying products made by companies which employ illegal immigrants (IIs), or hire service companies which employ IIs, or shop at stores which are known to employ IIs. For example, I know Pilgrim's Pride heavily employs IIs....thus I (and hopefully you) never buy any Pilgrim's Pride product.

We should have the right to know which American companies are American Patriot Companies which pledge to not knowingly employ illegal immigrants. That is a list I would like to see. And all companies which would not agree to be members of such a list, I would gladly boycott. And I think thousands of like-minded Americans would do likewise. Do you agree?

Thus, I am starting a new organization...not sure what the name should be, which is free for companies to join, but in so joining they must make one solemn public pledge:

This person or company will not employ or contract with any person which we believe to be, or could reasonably know to be, an illegal immigrant to the United States of America.

Plain and simple.

We post a "buyer's guide" on the Internet of all American Patriot Companies, and all Non-Patriot Companies which refused to so pledge. We issue the window stickers, and allow the use of a seal on their advertising materials. We would need lots of volunteers across the nation to get the word out, to call companies, to build the list, to talk to the media, to promote all the boycotts.

Then let the chips fall where they may. We would not be slandering anyone. Simply letting the American public know which companies are fellow patriots, and which aren't.

Ideas?
