MEXICO CITY – “A Day Without Gringos,” a boycott of U.S. businesses aimed at supporting migrant legalization efforts north of the border, appears to have had little impact, the head of the American Chamber of Commerce in Mexico said Tuesday.

“Even though we don't have conclusive numbers, I think there wasn't a lot of negative effect,” Chamber President Larry Rubin said by telephone from Washington, where he and other business leaders are lobbying for comprehensive immigration reform. “We basically ... think it was more symbolic.”
