Unfortunately, no such luck, - the "illegal alien costume" stuff is still
up on the internet for sale. You can reach them from the links by
following the links to home pages and then search for "illegal alien
costume". For example, I found them on Amazon at:
http://www.amazon. com/s/ref= nb_ss?url= search-alias% 3Daps&field- keywords= illegal+alien+ costume&x= 11&y=19And, by the way, Toys R Us and Walgreens also carry this stuff.
You can send emails to Amazon.com and Walgreens on this via the United
Farm Workers page decrying these offensive costumes at:
http://www.ufwactio n.org/campaign/ halloween2009/ 5wig7e2h7em56nj?and, BTW,
would someone forward this to
m20all@m20coalition .net, as I
don't seem to be properly signed up and they return my emails as do some
of the other groups - TNX!
