Just heard on FOX radio news that Mexican officials are also coming to "support" the invaders.

I just checked Singtao and World Journal, and found out they've already started using 'immigrats without certificate' to replace the wording 'illegal immigrants'. That's it.

Anyone surprised that the CA legislature contains a lot of extreme USA-hating leftists?

If I lived in L.A. I might support it as well. That would be a day I could more easily drive to and from work. On the other hand, liberal politicians who support it are as goofy about this as any other issue. All the boycott will do is prove to the rest of the nation that we can get along just fine, thank you, sans "cheap" Mexican labor.

By the way, if a boycotter becomes injured on his day off, will he also boycott the hospital emergency room until May Day plus one?

That's what you think. IIRC, the demonstration in LA, anyway, is supposed to be going on during the late afternoon, just in time for the commute home.

Because we continue to elect them ad nauseum.

I hope they officially give southern californication back to Mexico, along with both their Senators and all the elite actor/activists who have not yet fled.

My response: Let them have their boycott. But, wherever possible, deny services to the illegals. Don't provide transportation, utilities or any other benefits that come with citizenship.
My wife JUST became a citizen last week. She is enraged at these people who want to sidestep the process after she had to spend the time and money necessary to do things the LEGAL way.

I heard the same thing.

It sickens me, but I must acknowledge something.

While we are "distracted" by one day's worth of protests, we have not.....

...held our GOP representatives accountable for not doing something about the tax system... (like the Fair Tax)

...held our GOP representatives accountable for not doing something about the coming crisis in Social Security/Medicare, etc....

...held our GOP representatives accountable for not doing something about utilizing domestic oil sources... (like drilling in ANWR, the oil shales in Montana, off the coast of Florida, etc.)

...held our GOP representatives accountable for not doing something about the Iranian dictator who, even today, rubs our noses in our inability/unwillingness to confront him....

...held our GOP representatives accountable for not doing something about North Korea....

...held our GOP representatives accountable for not doing something about illegal immigration.... (how about sending Nagin's buses to pick them up? Since we know they'll be in one place at one time, and we know it ahead of time, what could be more convenient?)

...held our GOP representatives accountable for not doing something about Eminent Domain abuse....

...and a whole plethora of other things that I won't bother going into here.

I consider myself to somewhat of a moderate-conservative, but my conservative side is becoming ever more frustrated with the GOP. Not that I am crazy/stupid enough to vote for a liberal, but I am beginning to become disillusioned with the GOP. I never thought I'd say it, but I may stay home this November.

If we won't do anything about the ILLEGAL (yeah, I said it) TRESPASSERS ('cause that's what they are) that are in one place at one time, then I have absolutely no faith that we will do anything about any of the above threats that are more remote (in geography or time).

WAKE UP! One day's worth of protests is temporary. The problems I have mentioned above are not. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN! Don't blind yourselves to one day's worth of news coverage. THESE PROTESTS DON'T MATTER IF WE AREN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!

Sorry for my rant, but it is only a small glimpse of my frustration. It seems our country is on it's way to a dead end, with the Dems (and their liberal ilk) pushing it ever faster, and the GOP seems to be willing to step aside and let it happen.

I read today that they are making a movie of "Atlas Shrugged". It should be interesting to see the public's reaction, assuming they can understand the message.
