There Are 300 Million Consumers In This Nation\nIf 15 Or So Million "BOYCOTT" Products For A DAY, Or A WEEK\nIt Wont Even Make A Dent\n\nLike jmdavis333 Said, They Gotta EAT\n\nI Dont Shop Everyday-Neither Do YOU\n\nTheir "BOYCOTT" Is Pointless\n**********************\nAdditionally:\nThe LAST Protest Staged By The Illegal Camp Resulted In Several JOB Losses-\nIf They Pull This "BOYCOTT" The Way Theyre Saying They Will,\nTheres No Doubt That Several MORE Will Lose Their Job, TOO\nTheyre Cutting The Throats Of Their Own People\n\nIf I Know This...They Should As Well\n*****************\nI ALSO Think That If They Were INTENT On Becoming Citizens,\nInstead Of Trying To HURT Or FORCE Or DEMAND America To Granting Them Amnesty\nWell, I Think You Understand What Im Saying\n\nPerhaps An ATTEMPT To Get Their Affairs In Order\n(VISAS ETC) Would Be Time Better Spent

I'll continue life as usual. Clean my own home. Mow my own lawn. Cook my own meals. People who are not accustomed to doing for themselves the things that they are currently hiring illegals to do for them do not have one drop of my sympathy. Businesses want to leave? Let them. Agriculture can return to American families...where it belongs. Americans will have to do their own dirty work, and there's nothing wrong with that. Civilizations crumble when too many of their citizens do too little for themselves. Make yourself useful and productive or no one will need you.

You can do so temporarily as so many other Americans, by borrowing for consumption.  However the piper will have to be paid.\n\nA far better idea is postpone gratification and consume less than you earn.  The net result will be greater wealth and security, though less stuff.

Build the fence. Stop the illegal immigration.

Dear Cordy,\n\nWith the removal of illegal immigrants, I'm sure Taxi-cab driver (or cabbie, as they're called), Food Produce Selection Engineer (or veggie-pickers, or "hired help/farm equipment" as farmers refer to them), and garbage truck drives/sanitation engineers will be a HUGE market.\n\nJust some advice. \n\nPianoguy

DISAGREE!!!\n\ncause this place will be screwd without us. Im a citizen and all but hey IM MEXICAN and PROUD! You all eat our foods we take of ur kids, and ur stores. I disagree cause everyone has a chance in life to have a great life and thats all they want they want the american dream the same way you have it. They dont do this for them they do it for there family. to help them grow better and have things they never had as a kid. Thats my opinon(Ithink i spelled it wrong)LOL... though.

I hope legal immigration continues.  Fresh blood is good for countries, just like it is for families.  Every culture brings new ideas, new ways of doing things, approaching a problem, etc.  Illegal immigrants have got to be stopped. They are a huge drain on the economy of any country who has large numbers of them.  This is a problem that must be addressed and solved in the very near future.

are you referring to illegal immigration? then you could start by talking about getting into everyday things that they effect and then get into the larger aspects such as costing the government billions of dollars, hospitals not having enough money and having to close down, crime rates, etc.\nif just immigration, talk about how they come here and start businesses or whatever and the reasons they came.

I agree. Try to get that fat, lazy, white kid who lives next door to push a lawnmower, or pull weeds, or pick fruits and vegetables. Legal or illegal immigrants make up an enormous part of our work force. The only good idea Bush had lately was to give them work visas, and acknowledge them as an important part of our economy. \n\nAs for past immigrants, I'm native american, so I won't tell you my opinion.

It would be better to boycott the American businesses who hire illegals.  While you're boycotting, write your local government officials and ask them to enforce the laws by fining these businesses, deporting the workers, and not taking bribes from lobbyists!

This whole immigration thing is just the flavor of the month.If i move to Mexico, i would make the effort to learn the predominant language of the area. Right now i speak a little Spanish and a little Tagalog. It helps to break down barriers to communication.We do have laws in place dealing with this issue. Both sides of the border have just been working it for mutual benefit. We don't need new laws either enforce the ones that we do have or do away with them. Peace.

I'm going to work.  I think I might wear red,white and blue.  And if anyone blocks an entrance to anyplace in town,  I'll be the first one there trying to get in.  Let's make sure all the entrances everywhere are not being blocked by pro-illegals.  If they're not open, then we're just going to have to make them open.  And if they want to attack us for asserting OUR rights as CITIZENS,then bring it on.\n\nAnti-illegals:  Don't start the fights, but walk through blockades, AND VIDEOTAPE EVERYTHING.

It makes me seriously consider renouncing my citizenship, moving to a foreign country, then comming back across the border as an undocumented immigrant (illegal alien).  They have more rights than we do now.

Good idea! \nIt might be a start--why not? They overcharge for Mexican food anyway--it's mostly tortillas (super cheap) and beans (super cheap) with a little meat thrown in. Besides, you can make Margaritas at home!
