Immigrant rally backlash seeps into Louisville 
05:44 PM EDT on Tuesday, May 2, 2006
There are at least a couple signs of backlash here in Louisville, including a sign taped to the door of the Center for Hispanic Assistance in Jeffersontown. It reads, If you don't want American money today -- you will be boycotted every day. “I thought it was just a prank, but it looks like something an adult would do.” Sandra Lynch says the signs were discovered Tuesday morning taped on the center's front door and at a small store a couple doors down, both of which stayed closed Monday. “We don't do anything to bother anyone. All we do is help people,” says Lynch. “It kinda irks me that 12 million people are trying to push around three hundred million.” “And I will never support anything that has a Spanish employee because of illegals trying to hijack our country.” Yet at Los Aztecas restaurant in Jeffersontown, Marco Escamila says there's been no backlash, no drop-off in customers. “They support that we were closed yesterday,” he says. As for those signs posted at the supermarket and the Center for Hispanic Assistance, Sandra Lynch says she called police, an officer came out and filed a report.
