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:

Immigration rights organizers today will call for a nationwide boycott of work, school and shopping on May 1 to protest congressional efforts to clamp down on illegal aliens as part of pending immigration-reform legislation.
The "Great American Boycott of 2006" is only one in a series of large-scale events the protesters hope will sway lawmakers to put millions of illegal aliens on track toward permanent residency and U.S. citizenship.
"The massive March 25 march and rally in Los Angeles of well over one million immigrant workers and their supporters -- along with protests and student walkouts throughout the United States -- is irrefutable evidence that a new civil rights and workers' rights movement is on the rise," said Raul Murillo, one of the key organizers and president of the Hermandad Mexicana Nacional.
"In order to realize the goal of legalization for the millions of undocumented workers, we have the obligation to keep pressing the Congress of the United States to legislate immigration reform that grants full legalization for all immigrants."
Sarah Sloan, a spokeswoman for boycott organizers, said the boycott, additional marches and rallies in at least 30 cities nationwide beginning next week are designed to highlight opposition to House legislation that would crack down on illegal aliens.
The Act Now to Stop War & End Racism (ANSWER) coalition, which organized the Los Angeles march to win "full rights for undocumented workers," is confident its new "national action" will prove successful.
ANSWER's steering committee includes the Free Palestine Alliance, the Partnership for Civil Justice, the Nicaragua Network, the Korea Truth Commission, the Muslim Student Association, the Mexico Solidarity Network and the Party for Socialism and Liberation. It denounces as racism attempts to criminalize illegal aliens.

Me and my big mouth! Okay, where do I send them?
Nearest nursing home, I guess. I don't have room in my house!! :-)
I fly mine year 'round, but it's starting to look a little old. Good time to buy a new one.
I'll have to think about what other purchases to make on Shopping Day. Here's America's chance to turn May Day into a capitalist holiday.
Lets not be the French and be defeated.
If the illegals and criminal supporters are boycotting on May 1st, I suggest we save up all of our major purchases, grocery shopping, etc, and buy as much as possible on that day.
What we need is a counter-boycott! :D
Up till now the largest number I've seen was 500,000 marchers. And now it's doubled to a mil. BULLSH!T!!

I accidentally hit the Espanol key once (damn touch screens - I wasn't even close, but it interpreted my touch as Espanol), so for about the next four transactions, I had to specifically tell the machine each time that I wanted English, so it would re-learn that I wanted English. I was Oh So Happy about that.
I think I will buy a new gun and an American flag on May first.
Communist ANSWER = CANSWER
Pronounce it "CANCER."
I called them and complained. I never do that. I said if I got through 100,000 others were peezed. They said they were aware of the "concern"....
They would do better in France with that premise.
They do a crappy job anyhow.
Boycott companies who hire illegals.
Cinco De Mayo = National Burn A mexican flag Day
Boycott all Bars for Cinco De Mayo!
Boycott Cinco De Mayo.
Big day for us, too; it's our anniversary. I needed a date I wouldn't couldn't forget. ;)
Some symbolism was also involved: "May day! May day! Red Leader, I going down; May day!"
Ha! My anniversary is New Year's Day for the same reason. My husband hasn't forgotten an anniversary yet. Although, there are times I almost did. Oops!
