Makes sense. Still, this little adventure probably alienated a lot of folks who would otherwise be on their side.

What strikes me as interesting is the rally and rallying against the rally etc. are probably useless exercises. The illegal immigrants are here, they're probably staying, and the system is more or less dependent on them by now.

Yea, I am not a rally type of guy and don't find them appealing, personally.

Nickel and penny machines are not uncommon at all.
Nickel slot winnings got me back home the last time I was in Reno.

If you won at Cal-Neva, then you have the makings of a good country western song.

I play 25 cent machines mostly. On occasion when I am way aheadI go to the penny machines that deal 50 or 100 hands. Great way to win (or lose) a lot of pennies all at once. :-)

Absolutely, time for these small businessmen to reconsider who they are hiring.

I shopped at Randal's and Texas Art supplies and everything looked normal to me too. My housekeeper showed up just like I knew she would and her boys all went to school. They are a really fine family and legal too.

Mike Collins, who owns 500 acres of Vidalia onions in southeastern Georgia, was forced to shut down his packing shed and postpone his harvest when none of his 175 seasonal workers showed up. I can live without Vidalia onions. Can the illegals live without jobs? Ship 'em all home - bill Teddy Kennedy

From what I hear, Albuquerque NEW MEXICO has a whopping 300 people demontrating. As a side note, I think we need to rename that state. It's starting to really annoy me. Blech!

Re-name New Mexico Ted. That's a fine name, for formal functions they can call it Theodore.

What was CLEARLY demonstrated was TRAFFIC clout. With them off the roads, I don't even know someone who wasn't celebrating. So, I'll pay $10 for radishes if THAT continues. Took my girlfriend 20 minutes to get to work. Usually it's 1.5 HOURS. Same here in Northern VirginiaMy 1.1 hour commute took 40 minutes. A friend made it from Reston to Arlington in the same time, when it usually takes him 2 hours (and he said large parts of Arlington were like a ghost town).
I'll take 365 days without illegal invaders, thanks...

Truly. The MSM seems to be on exactly the wrong side of everything. It's as though they want to bring this country down--and yet, this country gives them all the perks they now have. In Mexico, dissident reporters have a way of disappearing. They face less fortunate prospects in places where groups like the Taliban are in charge. Have they really thought this through? Bwahahaha! J-school graduates don't "think," they "emote." They'd be the first to go if they got their way, but they're too dense to figure that out. We regular folk love 'em for their silliness like that. ;)

I didn't get stuck behind or have to maneuver around double parked cars in the Hispanic neighborhood like I have to every other morning. I wouldn't mind a few more days without illegals.

The money these protestors forfeited today will be felt more back home in Mehico Yep, the flow of migro-dollars, Mexico's biggest industry, will be harmed by the protests.

We heard of few in the cleaning company that does our office building didn't show, but the ones that did are all legal. Our guy was just rolling his eyes at the others. He was complaining that he did it legally, then they should too.
Great guy.

Yep, the flow of migro-dollars, Mexico's biggest industry, will be harmed by the protests. The flow of "migro-dollars" needs to be harmed by the States! Destroy that cross-border flow of income, and you knock 50% of the reason to come here in the first place (if not more).
