Do you support the activities organized for the 'Day Without Immigrants'? * 34946 responses

Yes, as long as there's no violence it's a peaceful way to show how vital immigrants are to the United States.
29%

No, it's disruptive to the economy, and any illegal immigrants at those events should be rounded up and sent home.

Yeah, I was pretty surprised by that result. Looks like the public is pissed. The protests have backfired.

Good.................. some fellow called in my local radio talkshow (quinn@warroom.com) this morning suggesting in a humorous manner that the government should drop "chemical bombs" down on these protests today. The "bombs" would render the protesters sleepy (unconscious). Then he suggested that the protesting illegals should all be fingerprinted, thrown in buses (Nagin could help with that maybe), and sent on their way.

LOL!

Absolutely right Onyx. That well and truly is more evidence that most Americans are sick and tired of all this illegal immigrant crap. They flaunt our laws, act like they own the place, most don't pay taxes, get health care and education American citizens have to pay for either directly or in taxes, and think they can do what they want, when they want, and come and go as they please. That definitely is NOT the result the libs as msnbc were expecting on that poll. I'd be very surprised if the poll stays up through today and isn't pulled. The Republican party has truly screwed up in their cautious stance on this issue. The majority of the American people are fed up and ready to take a stand on this. If the Pubs in the Congress can break their spines out of mothballs and make a stand on this and the war on terror, they'll do very well in November. This illegal worker problem is directly linked with the war, as the leaking border is a clear security risk and the most obvious way terrorists would use to enter the country.

Could anyone tell the difference between an arab muslim terrorist that learned to speak Spanish and was dressed and shaved just like a Hispanic illegal migrant worker? I've lived in Texas over 30 years and I sure as heck couldn't. We need to build that stinking wall and put an end to this. So that if you don't cross at the border control checkpoints, you just flat don't cross. Period. But it won't be done because no majority in the U.S. government will ever have the manliness to do that. But that's what needs to be done and that would eliminate most of this problem. And if retail and grocery items cost 10% or so more because American companies are actually having to hire legal workers to do the work to bring in and make their product, then FINE! What real American wouldn't pay a bit more for goods to services if it meant that ONLY legal workers were paid for helping bring them to market? I'd gladly do it. It wouldn't cost the average consumer more than an extra few hundred dollars a year. If Americans can afford all those $50K cars, flat screen plasma screen TVs, DVD players, PDAs and cell phones that play video, take pics, and have games and text messaging, they can surely afford a few hundred a year more for food and some retail items to ensure that ONLY U.S. citizens and LEGAL visiting foreign workers are in this country working.
