Ahahaha, thats awesome.  Get those illegals out of here.\n\nEdit: To crazybanana, the drop in shoplifting is attributed to all of the mexicans being busy protesting and not able to shoplift.

the immigration boycott. I say there will be many rallying, gather them up and ship them back from where they came from.

There was a boycott today? I must've missed it. ALL of my guys came into work, and the company did a gangbuster business day today. 14 hours of clients, contracts, and high end custom cars. God, I love my job, and all the men and women who work for me. I'd like to thank them all for their loyalty to the firm. Not to mention their paychecks, which would have disappeared like smoke on the wind had they not shown up. Even my 2 Japanese Americans and my Laotian (He is touched by the engineering gods) came in. And they all kicked butt as usual. Yep, at Southern Cross Customs, the boycott was a non-issue.

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.

2/11/1985; 2/11/1986........2/11/2006!\n\nWhen Hitler's Aryans lost to our African-Americans in the Olympics!\n\nWhen the slaves were free.\nWhen segregation was made illegal.\nWhen Jesus died for our sins.\nWhen the Chinese were finally allowed to become American citzens.\nWhen women recieved their voting rights.\n\nANYTIME AN INJUSTICE WAS REMOVED!

All immigrants, illegal or legal need to support this Boycott please, if you support immigration please help us out May 1st, don't attend to school, don't buy anything and many more things, basically, the economy of the US will go down for May 1st\n\nKeep your self up to date here:\nhttp://www.univision.com/content/content.jhtml?chid=3&cid=835090&schid=278&secid=12137\nhttp://www.univision.com/content/content.jhtml?cid=835090

It is possible to lose your job on May 1 if you mean, "is it legal to fire us?" \n\nI don't think many employers *will* fire people for that, but I can guarantee you that that fear will cause the number of people participating in the boycott to be lower than it otherwise would, no matter how many people do decide to participate.\n\nThe economy will technically be affected, probably more in some sectors than others, but nothing will crash because of 1 day.

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!

Youre Exactly Right\nThats Why This Hairbrained Scheme Is POINTLESS\n\nThe ILLEGAL Camp Continues To Lay Claim That WERE All Racists - When In Fact This Entire "BOYCOTT/PROTEST" Has Been Organized By, And Will Consist Of RACISTS Attempting To STRONGARM Our Government Into Granting Amnesty To ILLEGAL Aliens In Our Country\n\nThe Only Result To Come From This Endorsement \nCondoning ANARCHY And The Breaking Of Our Laws\nWill Be Violence In The Streets\n\nPeople Will Get Hurt That Day For NO REASON

I am very proud of the turn outs and support anymore boycotts to come. I am a second generation latina and will be in touch with my congress and senate reps.

There Are 300 Million People In This Nation That Go To School And Work And Shop And Buy Gas And Groceries EVERYDAY\n\nIf 15 Or So Million Of Them Take The Day Off And "BOYCOTT" The Nation, I Dont Think It Will Have Much Impact, If ANY At All\n\nLet Em Boycott For A Day, OR A Week\n\nThis Is AMERICA Not MEXICO\n(Maybe The Wheels Would Fall Off The Wagons THERE, But Not Here)\n\nThey Can Boycott Their ILLEGAL @$$ES All The Way Back To The Border

The boycott will work, Exxon won't let themselves go out of business!  We're not asking for free gas, and we're not trying to run them out of business!  We just want them to stop getting away with so much profit!  And there is no way anyone can dare tell me that they don't make profit, here is a NY Times article about the CEO's freakin salary, this gets me so FIRED UP!!!\n\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/15/business/15pay.html?ex=1302753600&en=89993dc20e1e7e97&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss

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
