AND MAY 1st IS A COMMUNIST HOLIDAY TO BOOT!!!!
"A Day Without (illegal) Immigrants"
It amazes me that they think this is going to help their "plight". Plight! I just heard some maroon on FOX stating that helping the immigrants with their plight is the reason he produced the spanish National Anthem. I nearly fell out of my chair. If their "plight" is so dire here, let them go home.
I pray for God to show his power SOON.
And WHY is the word "Gringo" okay? We don't have "Nothing Wetback Day." Because that would be RUDE and we KNOW it.
Boycott? You all ain't seen nothing yet.
President Bush has called on all US Citizens to engage in "civil discussion", while they actively grow louder and louder. Till their voice is the only one that Congress will hear.
I swear, if someone organized a Nation wide counter protest to convince Congress to secure our Borders, the Latio Movement would run for cover.
We are like little lambs being led to slaughter.

I guess May 1 would be a good day to head to the emergency room to get that nagging in-grown toe nail taken care of as there will be no waiting line.
Where were these clergy when Bishop Gracida was on his KNEES praying for the unborn at the door of an abortion mill. I have no doubt God has a special seat at his table for Bishop Gracida. But these clergy remind me of the Sanhedrin that marched and yelled for Christ Crusifixtion. They didn't have a law to kill him so they marched to get the spineless Pilate to do the deed. It is no accident that they chose the Communist Holiday for this little civil disobedience.
I don't disagree with you about some of the clergy - they will have to answer to God for their actions. My point is, do not let the actions of clergy, who are mere men, affect your relationship with Christ or his Church. We are only required to be faithful to the teachings of the Church not to any Bishop or Priest who may be, and often are, wrong.
You can be a faithful Catholic and still fight against the secular positions of local Priests and Bishops. Many of us do.
The lives of 12 U.S. citizens would be saved who otherwise die a violent death at the hands of murderous illegal aliens each day [4,380 per year].
Another 13 Americans would survive who are otherwise killed each day by uninsured drunk driving illegals [4,745 per year].
Eight American children would not suffer the horror as a victim of a sex crime [2,920 per year].

I seriously hope that the majority of the posts on this wall are jokes. The amount of close-minded, uneducated rants is honestly disturbing. As Americans, you have the right to believe whatever you want, but at least try to get the facts before you make outlandish assumptions.
First of all, "gringo" is the equivalent of "yankee" in English. It's not racial. It means someone from the United States. Since we're on the subject, I'd like to point out that there is no word in the English language that is the equivalent of "United States citizen", but in Spanish, there are two: gringo and estadounidense. We say "American", but are Canadians or Mexicans or Bolivians any less American? Don't they live in America too, whether it be north or south? And if you don't like the word gringo because you find it offensive, then write a letter to the Commissioner of Baseball, because "America's game" shouldn't be stained with an awful word like "Yankee".
Now for some history... Unless you're a Native American, YOUR ancestors were once just like these Hispanic immigrants. They're not just from Mexico, either. That's just the "over-generalization" kicking in. They're from all over the world, Latin America, Africa, Asia, and yup, even Europe. So... what are you? Irish, German, Polish, Scandinavian? Those sure don't sound like English-speaking countries to me! My guess is that your ancestors came here not knowing a word of English, having barely more possessions than what they could carry, and not knowing a soul. They came here to escape religious persecution, economic struggle, and a chance at a better life. They came here so that they could bask in the glory of the American dream and have the freedom to do, say, and think whatever they pleased. Well, that dream is still alive today, if you're a white Christian man.
Every ethnic group, every other religion, everyone else, even women aren't allowed to THINK, DO, or SAY whatever they please. Think about it. Maybe you feel like you are protecting the ideals of America... but who are you protecting them for?

This May 1st thing about not going to work and or school is nothing new. This is what they do on the 1st of every month, not just May 1st. Think about it....businesses and schools always have the highest number of absentees on the 1st of every month. These people will be too busy driving from post office to post office and will not have time to demonstrate in the numbers seen several weeks ago. Besides, these demonstrations are hurting them more then they realize, with ICE raids becoming more and more common after the last demonstration. That and the fact that we can boycott forever is going to take a toll on this nonsense.
