did you hear about the NATION-WIDE immigration boycott/rally?MAY 1st?
445006
Yes I heard about it. All immigrants should suport it. According to the anti-immigrant people, "immigrants are a drain on society."  If this is true, then during the day on May 1st the stock market will surge, and the economy will boom.  If not, we prove them wrong once and for all.  We know what will happen!\n Don't listen to those people who said that they will go and buy more things on that day, if they said that it is because they know that it will affect the country!

Source: \nImmigration Watchdog \nhttp://www.immigrationwatchdog.com/ \n\nOn March 17, 2006, an estimated 25,000 illegals from Ireland marched boldly in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in NY without fear of any enforcement of our immigration laws. I told my friends at the time: this unchecked in-your-face, "we demand respect" display by illegals will embolden them to demand they be given a free pass and when that doesn't happen, it will reach the point of violence.\n\nOn March 24, 2006, hundreds of high school students in LA walked out of their classrooms to protest the newest piece of completely unnecessary immigration legislation by the incompetent fools in Congress. Within hours 15,000 criminals (illegals) were marching in Phoenix and roughly 10,000 in Georgia. \n(Seems Fairly ORGANIZED) \nOn March 25, 2006, waving their Mexican flags chanting the same worn out "racist" garbage and demanding their "rights" 50,000 of these criminals marched in Denver, thousands in North Carolina and in Sacramento. All because the House of Representatives has passed legislation that would make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally, impose new penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants and erect fences along one-third of the U.S.-Mexican border                                               \n\n (AGAIN Seems  ORGANIZED-- On A NATIONAL Level)\n     ************************************************\n\nSent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 7:35 PM \n\nSubject: VIDEO: HISPANICS ADMIT THEY ARE ENGAGED IN "CIVIL WAR" WITHIN THE UNITED STATES\n\nSource: \n\nImmigration Watchdog \n\nhttp://www.immigrationwatchdog.com/...\n\nThey openly state they have "The armor, the infantry and the artillery" to wage war here.This video PROVES beyond any doubt, the people marching in our streets under Mexican and other foreign flags, over pending immigration legislation, are engaged in a WAR against our nation.The U.S. Government has failed its duty to protect this land from these invaders; invaders who are openly stating they intend to takeover a portion of this land and carve out their own "Mestizo nation of Aztlan."\n\nClick below to play the video \n\n     http://tinyurl.com/pqzpe \n\nRead The Story-Watch The Video-You Decide

Immigrants contribute 7 billion in social security per year. they earn 240 billion, report 90 billion, and only are reimbursed 5 billion, "where are the 85 billion?"  They also  contribute to the U.S. economy 25 billion more than they receive in healthcare, etc., etc., etc.  According to the anti-immigrant politicians and hatemongers, "immigrants are a drain on society."  If this is true, then during the day on May 1st the stock market will surge, and the economy will boom.  If not, we prove them wrong once and for all.  We know what will happen!      \n\nTherefore, the "March 25th Coalition against HR4437 in Los Angeles," the organizers of the mega march of almost 2 million on March 25th, has called for an emergency videoconferenced meeting on April 8th between Los Angeles and any city that wishes to join the efforts toward "El Gran Paro Americano 2006."  The following meeting will take place in Chicago on April 22nd, we ask that all that wish to participate and be a part of a national effort on May 1st and beyond, to attend by finding facilities in your areas that can hold the meeting, technologically.

Its not gonna work this time. In Texas the were expecting 1500 Hispanic folks to show up for a rally. They got 500,000 or more. When they get legal and can vote, the changes will happen so fast the right wing hateful people will wonder what happened. I'm looking froward to it. We are a nation of immigrants or at least Grandchildren of Immigrants. How can we consider people criminals just for being here and working hard?

I just saw it and am disgusted.  How dare they try to justify their causes with such antics.  They are illegals and should not even have the right to protest to Americans in their own lawful land.  Congress should be ashamed to have let this happen.  Why should I as a taxpayer be subjected to such disrespect?  I do however feel its a hopeless case at this point.  Something should have been done long ago.  The problem has gotten way out of hand and I do not see a resolution happening anytime soon.  I live in Los Angeles and everything is in spanish, my TIVO even has started recording some daytime soap on the 'Univision' spanish network.

I saw a sign on the way in this morning that said:\n"Illegals want the same rights as citizens"  That is want they think they are going to get.  By the way, I saw at least 50 day laborers in front of our local Home Depot.\nMaybe they think a boycott is something a young male child sleeps on.

The Minutemen are patriots of the highest order, as are you and JD, and some others posting here! Banana Bean, laugh all you want - when the deportation starts, everybody can go cry on the shoulder of good ol' Vicente, right? We Americans need to act, and need to do it now! I applaud the Minutemen for bringing to light what the media has been reluctant to show. Americans must realize that our situation is growing more dire by the day. These invaders do not want to be Americans - they want us out of our own country, and we need to stop the inflow and take our country back! As Pancha so astutely points out, they aren't going to stop (you forgot to put the word ILLEGAL in front of immigrant again, Pancha) so they have to be stopped. If that makes the Minutemen vigilante's, oh well... I support them no matter what you want to call them - brief pause waiting for Pancha to call them racists... GOD BLESS THE US!!!\nYes, Banana Bean - they do want us out! I've seen the signs telling us "Go back to Europe", "This is our continent, not yours", etc. I'm wrong? I just took it wrong the same way I took it wrong when I saw all those Mexican flags flying at the rally's? Or I took it wrong when I saw the pic of the Mexican flag above an upside down American flag? Give it a break! We're not blind, and we're not stupid! You picked a fight with the wrong people - the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of Americans wants illegals out! And although we might not get all of them, we'll at least keep the numbers way, way down - not out of control like it is now! Keep laughing...

No, I did not know these facts. Now who do we talk to to fix these problems? I live in Las Vegas, Monday was  the protest. The protesters broke the law because they did not have permits to march. The cops broke the law because they knew it and let them do it anyway! What CRAP!

Osbaldoh- said, "Well, the organizers of this event have not yet consider how long it will take, they don't know if violence will be an option, they don't know what should the immigrants do, stay at home or protest outside."\n\n "They don't know if (Violence) will be an (Option)"\n\n Oh please, give all the true patriots the excuse we need.\n\n Violence would doom your cause in a heart beat. The government and the people would (Violently) resist you.

There is going to be a march on Monday May 5th 2006 near Vero Beach.  My entire workplace will be closing because the entirety of the kitchen staff will be participating in the march for immigration rights.  I am also having trouble finding information as to exactly where it is going to be held.  But I know I have the day off because of it.

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!

"You know, I'm not a supporter of boycotts. I am a supporter of comprehensive immigration," Bush told a Rose Garden news conference, referring to efforts to reach an immigration deal with the US Congress.\n\nBush urged the protesters to show respect.\n\n"You know, I think it's very important for people, when they do express themselves, they continue to do so in a peaceful way, in a respectful way, respectful of ... how highly charged this debate can become," he said.\n\nImmigration has split Congress, the Republican Party and public opinion. Conservatives want the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants returned to Mexico and a fence built along the border.\n\nBush and others want a guest-worker program and a path to citizenship. Most agree some reform is needed to stem the flow of the poor to the world's biggest economy.\n\nBush said "most Americans agree that we've got to enforce our border" but that a temporary guest-worker program is needed as a way to get rid of an illegal smuggling network that brings people across the border and forges documents.

I don't think that there are protest planned in New Mexico. \n\nAll immigrants should supports the May 1 boycott. Those people who say bad things about the people are just AFRAID that the U.S. government will find out what will REALLY happen without immigrants.

To all those mocking such a thought and dismissing it as fantasy, you have a very short memory. It has been less than 2 weeks since La Raza and Mecha showed us exactly how organized they really are. Have you all forgotten the tens of thousands of illegals and their supporters marching through the streets of our cities carrying not American flags, but Mexican flags?! You don't think that if they can manage to get amnesty, and start applying political pressure (they already are) that they will get voting rights for all of these people? And once they can vote, they will effectively vote as a bloc. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Once they own the politicians, they will own the country. If you don't think so, all you have to do is look West to California. I have seen voting blocs at work, and they are a force to be reckoned with. And unless we stand up now and stop what is happening, your grandchildren will be speaking Spanish in a third world nation - The USA.
