The illegal invaders are threatening our Ports on May 1. Go here to read the transcript:

CASEY WIAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice over): They've already marched in the streets. Now supporters of unconditional amnesty for illegal aliens are taking their protests to a whole new level, trying to shut down the nation's ports and rail lines.
ERNESTO NEVAREZ, L.A. PORT COLLECTIVE: It will come to a grinding halt, transportation, commerce. They are going to put a wall along the border with Mexico. We're going to put a wall between us and the ocean. And those containers ain't going to move.
NATIVO LOPEZ, MEXICAN-AMERICAN POLITICAL ASSN.: I would like them to join us on May 1st in shutting down their business and for school authorities to recognize May 1st as a floating holiday. I'm asking them to get in front, anticipate the great absence in their workforce and in the schools.
The May 1st boycott has clear Marxist overtones. Supporters include communists, socialist and anarchist groups.
GLORIA ROMERO (D), CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE: Some people might ask, why would a senator sitting in Sacramento support a boycott essentially of California business? As a senator, I represent citizens and non-citizens alike.
WIAN: And apparently illegal aliens.
(DOBBS: These are remarkable calls, by any definition. Are the officials, for example, at the port taking the threat of a possible strike on May 1st seriously?
WIAN: Well, I have to say, the port officials we spoke to today were not aware of this threat until we told them about it, but they say now they will take it seriously. They say it's likely the California Highway Patrol, the port police, terminal operators, security forces will all be at a heightened states of alert on May 1st -- Lou.

Now those that entered this Country illegally are threatening to affect our economy and bring us to our knees by shutting down our economy, ports, railroads,wall street, businesses.
These people are NOT to be given the priviledge of citizenship, no amnesty in fact they must be deported immediately and the border closed tight and fast!!
Communist, marxist groups are supporting their cause. That's enough! They should not be collecting welfare or even working in this country!
Jail employers of illegal immigrants!.
The illegals are getting representation without taxation.
Stop freaking welfare and then watch what jobs Americans won't take.
Get a job or starve.
Blocking the ports is serious and I mean serious in ways most people won't understand till it hits them in the pocketbook.
Back when this was not a problem an honest working man could make a living for his family just by the strength of his arms and back.
Think about that.
Not everyone is a rocket scientist. Not everyone is fit to be a CPA, a police officer, or even a shyster.
Shall we tell some of our fellow citizens, "You are too damn dumb to make a living here"?
I say, run all the illegals out of this country this very instant.
Build the damn wall.
Line up the big green buses at the next protest. Check their green cards and if they dont have one load them into the big green bus. Dont take them to jail take them to the border and frog march them back to the other side of it.
The socialists, communist, marxist groups are becoming militant now, this is a crisis. Threatening our ports, schools, railroads, wall street is very very serious.
No amnesty for illegal invaders.
EVEN if we were to legalize all of the illegals and they worked above board, they still are a drain, in fact it will be worse. They still would not pay taxes like you or I. They would qualify for the earned income tax credit, foodstamps and medicaid and other freebies. There is no such thing as cheap labor.
Somebody needs to tell them this is NOT the way to win friends and influence people. (Better yet, perhaps this overt threat to the nation will open the eyes of some of America's complacent sheeple.)
I've said it before and I'll say it again... the US citizens who are against illegals should also do a one day walk-out, Can you imagine 100 million people not going to work for a day? No airlines, no trains, no stores open, hospitals shut down...
Then we'll REALLY see "who needs who".
LOL
Good point.
I agree. A new wall is cheaper than a new civil war.
