I say keep on walking back across the border.  If it's so damn bad for you here, get the hell back to Mexico- rally there and see what happens. So the price of lettuce goes up, whoopee.   \n\nSalma Hayek and John Leguzamo can leave too, I'll not watch one their stinkin' movies again.   Take your flag, take your welfare education and take your  National Anthem in Spanish with you.  Do not pass go, do not collect $200, go straight to jail with your illegal butt.\n\nNothing Gringo day?  You can take that and shove it.  Hypocritical *holes.   Yes, we love your country, my *ss.

Stop eating junk food. Boycott Mexican owned or Mexican staffed restaurants.  Then, it will stop.

If there is a backlash, it probably will be against the demonstrators. Even before students began blocking the Los Angeles streets to protest legislation in Congress to toughen penalties for illegal immigrants and smugglers,\nMark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies told me over the telephone, \n"I hope they keep doing it(PROTESTING). It just makes it less and less likely the Senate's going to pass any amnesty.\n\nhttp://www.realclearpolitics.com/article...\n\nThis Nation Has 300 MILLION Citizens That Shop And Buy Gas And Use The Banks\n\nThe "BOYCOTT" Of About 7-10 Million People Will Have A MINIMAL Impact On Our Economy If It Has ANY WHATSOEVER\n\nThe Latino Community Can BOYCOTT ALL They Like\nIt Will PROVE To The People That The Economy Will NOT Fail Without Their"CONTRIBUTIONS"\n\nPUSH HR4437-NO AMNESTY\n\nDEPORT ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS UPON DISCOVERY

Too bad those of us here legally don't get together and boycott and see how that affects things.  What was the important effect - people off work, kids staying out of school away from their free education.  They should be in Mexico parading and boycotting for their own Country to change for the better.

Yes.  It will continue to be ignored.  We are being taken over from within.  The Mexican government knows this and encourages it's citizens to illegally enter the U.S.  The only reason it's tolerated by politicians is that U.S. Company's will continue to have a source of cheap labor.  Think about it, they don't pay these people even the minimum wage.  They receive no benefits.  They are paid under the table so they also collect welfare benefits.  75% of the country want the borders closed, but the politicians continue to fiddle while the country burns.  At this rate, we will become North Mexico within 40 years.

Are you kidding?they are the biggest hypocrites when they start crying about poor people,just look at the way mexico treats their immigrants,they are the first to cry racism but any person in mexico waving a foreign flag like illegals did in this country will be taken ito custody by Vicente's men

These are some companies that are closed today, due to either employment of ILLEGAL immigrants or in support of ILLEGAL immigrants rallies.\n\nSome big businesses were shutting down operations: Eight of 14 Perdue Farms plants will close; Gallo Wines in Sonoma, Calif., was giving its 150 employees the day off; Tyson Foods Inc., the world's largest meat producer, planned to shut five of its nine beef plants and four of six pork plants.

I agree that we should do something -- but boycotting Mexican or Tex-Mex restaurants -- Nah. We should do something, though to show that we are a much larger group than those who protested on May 1. Generally, we are all too civilized to go marching in the streets unless we really had to. \n\nLet's try this: Pick a number of fast food restaurants and Chain Stores (Grocery, or drug, etc...) and say for the month of May we will boycott these places....then for the month of June we will go to those stores and boycott the ones we bought from in May. In doing this, we won't hurt the economy as a whole, and the businesses will have to take turns getting our money, but won't go out of business in a month, but we will still show that we, the legal residents and citizens of the United States of America are the ones to listen to, not a bunch of whining illegals and their sympathizers who hate the U.S.A.

Statistics lie and liars use statistics.\n\nThe May Day boycott was "A Day Without Immigrants", not "A Day without Illegal Mexican Immigrants".  The people boycotting were both immigrants (legal and illegal) from all over the world and their supporters.  Their were many countries of origin represented, not just Mexico.\n\nNational retailers are not able to report on shoplifting stats in such a short amount of time: 10 days between the date of the boycott and the date of your posting is not enough time for individual retailers to perform inventory, file reports with their national office, and have the national offices report on their findings.  \n\nIf there was a 67.8% reduction in reported arrests for shoplifting on that day, then we should be thankful to our immigrants.  A reduction in arrests may be attributed to store security staff participating in the boycott.  So, the stores should be thankful for their immigrant supporting security staff that does such a wonderful job of catching shoplifters.  After all, when their immigrant supporting security staff are working, they catch 67.8% more shoplifters.\n\nAdditionally, by calling people "illegals" you are dehumanizing them.  This is similar to what has been done throughout history: people dehumanize groups of people to justify genocides.  The Germans, Austrians and Polish governments did it to the Jews; the Serbians did it to the Croations, the Tootsi's did it to the Hutus.  You are not the only one guilty of dehumanizing an entire group of people.  I just finally had to say something.  \n\nThe term "Illegals" is used to dehumanize immigrants to the United States of Mexican origin.  And, people will argue, "but they are illegal".  Many of them ARE legal, many are not.  But, we don't call Jaywalkers "illegals", even though they are doing something illegal.  Please refer to people who are here without proper paper work as "illegal immigrants" - this term is not dehumanizing.\n\n\n------------------\n\nAs for the other stats listed in the answers portion:\n\n1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County (L. A. County has 10 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. \n> Most eBay vendors don't pay taxes.  I didn't realize they were all in LA county.  Let's call all those eBayers who don't pay taxes "Illegals" too.  I love pulling statistical B.S. out of my tush.\n\n5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally. \n> That's because they are arrested for being here illegally.\n\n6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages. \n> So what?  Wait! I thought they were all on welfare and living in HUD housing. Which is it?\n\n7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border. \n> "Most likely"... now that's a good one to quote!\n\n8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal. \n> Boyfriends, girlfriends, ex-husbands, roommates and youth over 18, and cousins aren't allowed in HUD housing - they are all illegal.... though not necessarily illegal immigrants.\n\n10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million speak \nSpanish (10.2 million people in L. A. County). \n> This is such a silly stat: probably about 3M out of the 3.9M speak both English and Spanish, so do we have 4M people in LA who are deaf, dumb and mute and speak no language?  Your numbers don't add up.\n\nOver 70% of the United States annual population growth \n> If we didn't have immigration, the population of the US would actually be decreasing due to a low birth rate. Since the birth rate makes the population decrease, of course the increase is due to immigration (and people living longer) \n \n29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens. \n> Makes sense if illegal aliens are

For all of you uneducated racists, oh excuse me, you say you are not, so I guess I have to believe you. The May 1st boycott is not trying to target ignorant people like yourselves, with less than high school education, and therefore cannot comprehend economics. It is targeted to large corporations, who at the end will influence the Senators making the decision. Go back to school!\n\nSo, take out your notebooks children, 42 million multiplied by 8 (expending) dollars, excluding School District funding... the answer is 336 Million dollars.\n\nThis is just ONE DAY. And this is not counting the amount of money that will not be produced for people NOT working.\n\nDo you still think it won't matter?\n\nOh, and before you start babling "we are 300 millions blah blah blah" it will only take 20 more senators to pass the bill, and in your beloved country, a million dollars is worth more than you and your entire family.\n\nGo back to school! Because you making 7-8 dllrs an hour has NOTHING to do with immigration!
