Do you think we should all stop working for one day and march by the millions on Washington? Our politicians seem to respect only numbers. Let's see what happens when America won't run. I think it could be a very powerful message. Should we get organized like the Invasion Lobby? Something to definitely think about.

Oh give me a frigging break! You anti-immigrant types are looking more and more like stupid college students that walk out of class and get their picture taken naked to draw attention to yourselves. Guess how many people they win over? A whole lot less then they alienate.

We do have a chaotic immigration system. It does have problems. Try useful suggestions (i.e. not "send them on a bus back to Mexico") and discussion. Not stupid protests.

By the way, this won't even have a minor impact. You won't get even 1/100th of the amount of the people you need to make an impact, there aren't that many nuts out there.

As you are aware, when some of the students were interviewed on TV, they didn't know why they were marching. Most don't understand that they are going to have to compete for low wage, entry level, semi-skilled jobs with the illegals. The illegals drive wages down, and drive up the costs of medical care and housing, and unless these students are well educated or have usable job skills, they are going to be worse off after graduating high school than an illegal fresh over the border.

Employers should make it known that an unexcused absence on May 1st is cause for termination. They can be absent by taking a day of paid time off (if they have some on the books). They can take unpaid time off that day by prior approval. Prior notice to the employees protects the employer and puts the responsibility for the actions squarely on the employee. I would get a copy of such a notice signed by each employee to prevent claims of "I didn't get notified".

A list of terminated parties will be turned over to the INS.

Just like our elected officials, Americans don't act, they react. Until this problem reaches "critical mass", and disaster strikes, the politicians will continue to posture, and the business people will continue to hire. Then, when the social levees collapse under the human tide of illegals, the finger pointing will begin.

The Hispanic Challenge (To America) A MUST READ Samuel Huntington (Long But Good)

The Mexicans are unlike previous immigrants. This definitely needs to be read by everyone at least once! It should be linked on pertinent immigration threads. Here's an interesting link about Samuel Huntington:

"Strangely enough, despite the fact that he was buddies with Henry Kissinger at Harvard, he is registered as a member of the Democratic Party, and has written foreign policy speeches for Adlai Stevenson, Hubert Humphrey, and Jimmy Carter."


My wife came from Vietnam legally. Some folks need to read a little.

Visceral reaction indeed. Count me as one who is disgusted with ANY politician who lets these foreign invaders not only stay here, but continue streaming across our sovereign and sacred Borders unabated.

Coming here so I can pay for their health care, pay for their schooling, and now subsidize them so they can march against my country and fly my beloved Flag upside down.

Good Lord. I never thought I'd see the day when I would be standing right smack dab in the middle of the anti-BushBots, or whatever you're called around here. Not that you guys smell or anything, but I just don't agree with most of what you say.

On THIS we can agree.

The first time one of these criminals comes to Texas and burns the Lone Star Flag, you may be seeing me on Fox News being chased by the police while I chase THEM with a baseball bat. I should never have clicked on this thread.

Why do I have to punish my employer to make a point!

There has to be a better way than that!

No, work stoppage at this level would hurt America, which is something an American would never do.

I don't like illegal immigration either, but this is a silly idea.

Because, frankly, I don't think their "Day Without Latinos" will be any different than any other day for most of us. But a "Day Without Americans" will be a day unlike any we have ever seen in the history of this nation.

I encourage them to have as many days without Illegal Aliens that they want. The only people that will be screwed are the employers that broke the law to hire them. The rest of us will do a little adjusting in our habits, but we will get along just fine. I think most of us have a patch in the backyard where we can grow a few vegetables. That's how most of parents survived during the Great Depression.

I fully support "A Day Without Latinos."!

The gov't should go one step further, by withholding welfare checks, financial and medical assistance, close the border and for one day refuse service to any person/family who doesn't indicate that is legal resident.

Illegal immigrants should be expatriated out of the country, without a trial, to ensure success of "A Day Without Latinos."

I have had a similiar idea for some time.

Let's kick it up a few degrees. How about a "day without whitey's money" i.e., taxes?

All people of Caucasian descent refuse to pay taxes and explicitly state that their refusal is based on the continuing abuse of the US taxpayer being forced to subsidize illegal immigrants.

Actually, it should be done the way it was in Atlas Shrugged. All the employers should shut down in protest for one pay period and see what happens. Just withdraw themselves for a while and watch wheels come off society. These illegals think too much of themselves. Where would they be without America employing them?

Cash in on this "Day Without Latinos" .

A better return on investment for our time and effort than "A Day Without Americans"

BUST THE STRIKE

ADVERTIZE OUR PLAN

Write letters to the editors of all the newspapers. Call TV and Radio stations. Develop a ground swell of noise.

Appeal to the legal Latinos to boycott the strike.

Make demands that strikers be fired or employers will lose our business.

:)Easy Does It:)<

Take a look at these threads and see what you think. It is something we can do.

DOUG from Upland started with this thread U.S. BORDER PATROL: Turn In Illegal Aliens (and EMPLOYERS, followed by this one U.S. BORDER CONTROL Turn in illegal aliens

Go to either thread for more details on what to do. The TOLL FREE number to report ILLEGAL aliens or those employing ILLEGAL aliens to ICE is: 866-347-2423

How it works:

You are not required to provide your identity to ICE. All that is necessary to request an investigation by ICE is mere suspicion of any activity by ILLEGAL aliens.

ICE and the IRS are especially interested in "visiting" those businesses that employ ILLEGALS "off the books" to avoid the payment of payroll taxes.
