"We know it will hurt a lot of cities," Rivera says.
That's the bargaining chip boycott supporters are using to lobby lawmakers to issue temporary work visas for undocumented workers and give them a way to become citizens.
The call for a boycott "may be well-intended but misguided and ultimately irresponsible," says Arturo Vargas, executive director of the National Association of Latino Elected Officials and a member of a Census advisory panel.
"There is a sense of desperation and frustration among some immigrant rights leaders" that Congress has not taken action on such issues, Vargas says. They should give the new administration a chance, he says.
As soon as they cross the border, their arrogance and delusional sense of importance and entitlement ceases to take a siesta.

I hope they do it, while they are at it make sure they march in the streets and wave their old Countries flag in our faces screaming obscenities in a language we don't understand. We will have the welcome mat ready for you.
