Kathryn its going to be really hard because such protets will get very little public attention.  You almost have to start one.  I have been wondering the same thing.  You  might want to click into the web sites of the right wing type talk show hosts, Hannity, Rush, Savage and see if there are any notes on the subject.  Good luck

For starters go to The Minuetemen, alipac.org, NumbersUSA, fairus.org., president@whitehouse.gov, your Senators and Congress..get yourself on television contact Lou Dobbs on Broken Borders. Complain and start petition drives and force local law enforcemnt to enfore the exsisting laws and take America back town by town City by city!

The purpose of the protests is to show the power of the "immigrant community" by boycotting businesses and turning up for rallies in large numbers.\n\nThe organizers have done an excellent job of convincing a huge number of people that this is an anti-immigrant (legal and illegal) issue, not an illegal immigration issue.\n\nUnfortunately for the organizers, here in Southern California the only visible effect on the community at large was that rush hour was a breeze.  The freeways were as empty as if it had been a weekend.\n\nThe economic impact was mainly in the Hispanic communities as all of their businesses were shut down for the day.  Outside of that, they world moved on just fine.

The boycott was organized so that people who claim that we do not contribute to the economy can be proven wrong. Also, to understand the immigration debate you must do some research. Find out why people are risking their lives to come to a land where they will be exploited. Think about what it would take for you to do the same thing, and realize that whatever your answer is, that is what they are going through. Research NAFTA, CAFTA, and FTAA, and you will find out why people are coming to this country. And when people start a revolution to change their situation at home, what happens? Research Salvador Allende, his ouster, and the Pinochet Regime. The complaints that some Americans have, i.e. foreigners coming into our country..., well we have been complaining about these things for decades. I guess you can blame this immigration problem on karma.\n\nAnswer for RAM- Good point, but what if your cousin had to move into your house because your burnt his house down, or you got him kicked out of his house. Most immigrants are here because of the U.S. foreign policies that they have signed with corrupt governments.

Well... initially nothing will happen. Eventually, you will be called to the carpet by the IRS and things could get real ugly. I can certainly appreciate your wanting to protest the policies of our goverment (you are not the only one), but I assure you that breaking the law is not the way to do it.  In the long run it will only get you in big trouble (fines, penalties and possibly even jail) and at the end of the day your protest will not be heard and will not make a difference.  Find another way to protest... get more involved in the political process... raise awareness.\n\nGood luck.

It seems odd to me that the only ones demonstrating are the illegals.  Where is everyone else?  I have been writing and calling my represetnatives about this but it is curious why there are NO organized marches AGAINST illegals.\n\nCould it possibly be that the illegal immigrant marches are secretly organized by the Bush administration to give him ammunition for his idiotic Guest Worker program?  Hummm.

A DAY WITHOUT AMERICANS ! April 17, 2006! \n\nIn response to the recent mass national rallies fearlessly staged by the illegal alien lobby, The Dustin Inman Society is suggesting that Americans nationwide stay home from work and not spend any money on April 17. 2006 - income tax day. \n\n\nAPRIL 17, 2006 LEGAL Americans are being asked to stay home from work and not spend any money that day! Protest ILLEGAL aliens, their boycotts and marches, their taking of jobs, resources, welfare, healthcare, disobediance and defiance of American laws. Show congress that they may ignore our emails and phone calls, but we won't remain ignored! \n\nSupported by Americans for Legal Immigration \n\nhttp://alipac.us/ftopict-20151.html

Right Back At You\n\n\n\nAs To The Reliability Of Your Data ....\nFrom The Small Print At The Bottom Of The Page\nOn The Link You Provided\n\nDisclaimer: \nThe nonpartisan Urban Institute \npublishes studies, reports, and books on timely topics \nworthy of public consideration. \nThe views expressed are those of the authors \nand should not be attributed \nto the Urban Institute, its trustees, or its funders.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHere Is \n" a link to disspell all myths about " ILLEGAL ALIENS \nFor You\n\nRead It And Weep\n\nhttp://www.theamericanresistance.com/articles/art2004jan04.html\n\nMyths and lies of illegal immigration\nArticles\n\nBy Kathy McKee; \nJanuary 4, 2004; \npublished in The Sonoran News\n\nBecause the pro-illegal alien lobby \nhas a bottomless pit of money \nand can hire PR people to spin (and fabricate) \nanything any way, \nthere are an undue number of myths and lies \nthat the public (and many politicians) \nhas bought into. \n\nThe FACTS are: \n\n1. It is NOT racist to call these people "illegal aliens" \nIn fact, "illegal aliens" is the only term used \nin federal laws and regulations to describe criminals \n(and they ARE criminals) \nwho come into our country illegally. \nThey are not illegal immigrants, \nnot undocumented immigrants, \nnot migrant workers, \nand not day laborers - \nthey're ILLEGAL ALIENS. \n\n2. Mexico is NOT a poor country. \nBy sending its teeming masses to our country, \nthat status keeps on rising. \nMexico has more resources per square mile than the U.S. \nand plenty of money to take care of its own people. \nWhy should the taxpayers of this country \nsubsidize Mexico's corruption? \n\n3. Illegal aliens are NOT necessarily coming here to work. \nLou Dobbs recently reported that \n33 percent of our prison population \nis now comprised of non-citizens. \nPlus, \n36 to 42 percent of illegal aliens are on welfare. \nSo, for a good proportion of these people, \nthe American dream is crime and welfare, \nnot coming here to work. \n\n4. Illegal aliens are NOT doing work Americans won't do. \nWhat jobs won't Americans do? \nIn most states, \nAmericans still clean their own houses, \ndo their own landscaping, \nclean hotel rooms, \nwork in restaurants and fast food places, \npaint houses, \nDO CONSTRUCTION WORK, \nwork in airports, etc. - \njust like we have the past 200 years \nbefore "our" government allowed these people \nto invade our country. \nThere are 18 million Americans who cannot find a job, \nso illegal aliens who are coming here to work \ndo so at peril to American workers. \n\n5. Illegal aliens absolutely do not contribute more than they cost.\nCertainly the millions in prison and on welfare \naren't contributing a dime to our economy, \nand the ones who are working often are paid in cash \nwith no deductions for taxes at all. \nThe ones who use fraudulent social security numbers \nand qualify to pay taxes and social security \nhave so many deductions for dependents \nthat they pay little if any taxes. \nWe have seen them pay less than $100 in taxes \nand get back $4,000 refunds \n(thanks to earned income tax credits and multiple dependents).\n\nSome bargain, eh? \n\n6. The economy does NOT depend on illegal aliens. \nSure, greedy CEOs (making $50 to $150 MILLION a year) \nand business owners depend on illegal aliens, \nbut due to #3, #4 and #5 above, \nthe only thing illegal aliens are contributing to \nis the collapse of our economy \nand making the rich richer. \n\n7. Without illegal aliens, \nthe price of agricultural products \nand other goods and services will NOT soar. \nThe definitive study on this subject \nis the University of Iowa's "How Much Is That Tomato?" \nThe study concludes \nthat 'since labor is such a small component \nof the end-price of agricultural products \n(which includes price to the growers, \ntransportation costs, processing /storage costs, \ngrocers' profit, etc.), \nusi

Actually the Media will not report on the "anti-demonstration", just the Demonstations by illegals, so that it makes them look bad.\n\nThe press doesnt give "constructive opinions", they always look for the "bad" in the news...\n\nRemember, good news, doesnt sell, but bad news will always sell...\n\n(That is, unless you get the Grit newspaper, its loaded with good news!).\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

As a U.S. citizen in Mexico I can vouch for a lot of this info.  Mexico would never allow demonstrations like the ones in the US today (May 1st).  The illegals should be happy they are in such a free country and stop waving the Mexican flag!
