Ha! Good one!
The arrests included people convicted of sex offenses, child abuse, cocaine trafficking and weapons violations
If an illegal aliens commits any of these crimes, should they receive amnesty?
Interesting. I did not know that. Do tell.
She should be pretty easy to spot though.
just gotta make it 183/state/day. that'd take it down to about a decade.
"Is that boycott still on? I thought they were calling it off."
According to this (dated April 22)....it's even gained momentum and with today's backing of the Teamsters, the entire nation could end up shut down.

The national call for a May 1 Great American Boycott of 2006: No Shopping, No School, No Work to demand full rights for immigrant workers and their families is gathering momentum. This call, initiated by the March 25th Coalition Against HR4437a grassroots coalition that grew out of the Los Angeles action that brought hundreds of thousands of immigrant workers into the streets last monthhas likened the May action to the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott of 1955. Organizers want to exercise both political and economic power on that day
In Los Angeles, taxi drivers have vowed to shut down LAX airport and trogueros (truck drivers) will be closing the harbor. Demonstrations are being planned in both major and smaller cities throughout the country, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Chicago and New York. Wherever possible, students and workers are planning both individual and group action. Many small businesses, particularly in the Mexican community, will be closing.
On the weekend of April 22, organizers will meet in Chicago to form a national network to continue this momentum. Following the meeting, there will be a press conference in Washington, D.C., on April 24, the date that Congress reconvenes.
In New York City, the Million Worker March Movement and the Troops Out Now Coalition, which were planning a May 1 rally and march from Union Square, voted to support the immigrant rights movement and the Great American Boycott action. The coalitions had held a march and rally last year to revive May Day and were actively making plans to march again this year. Chris Silvera, secretary treasurer of Teamsters Local 808 and president of the National Teamsters Black Caucus, proclaimed, We support and embrace this movement. His union local is hosting the May 1 Great American Boycott 2006 Coalition, which is composed of the many immigrant communities of New York City including Latin@, Filipin@, South Asian, African, and Caribbean communities.
Nationally organizers are making plans to politically and legally support any worker or student who is retaliated against for their participation in activities.

Is there any way to stop these people other than outright civil war?
Most of the illegals arrested during raids in Texas last week have been released for one reason or another. Another waste of taxpayer money.
They have already been released, haven't they...
