This has got to end. We need some candidates with backbone.

[xcamel]

Betting it's lest than 50% of that number.

[cripplecreek]

Oh was that today? I didn't notice. LOL

[BigTom85]

Yes, I agree. I think these numbers are inflated.

[Battleofbritain]

If anything I would think this causes a backlash. It should scare people that we've become so dependent on such a politically radicalized foreign force.

[NapkinUser]

I wonder where the AP pulled that number out of....

(don't say it.)

[Future Snake Eater]

"We're basically shut down in our busiest month of the year," said owner Jeff Salsbery. "It's going to cost me thousands of dollars."

Guess you backed the wrong horse, Jeff.

Couldn't hurt to contribute to the backlash with a call, letter, or email to your congressperson and both senators!

[freedumb2003]

human nature is that you don't really know what you have until you don't have it.

Traffic was great today in Los Angeles. No hospitals closing, no spanish spoken in local restaurants, 85% fewer on LA's most wanted, no schools being dragged down by illiterates... Oh, and a head of lettuce will go up at most a nickle.

I am REALLY willing to find out what we don't have.

[xcamel]

I had 2 employees (of 600) that were going to "walk out in support" - (I employ no illegals) I told them if they leave, don't ever come back.

[bnelson44]

How could they possibly know 1M people skipped work?

[kellynla]

did anyone miss 'em? ROFLMAO

We could actually drive from point A to point B on the freeways in L.A. today without long delays!

We hope they protest tomorrow too!

I went to Wal Amrt in bellevue, NE tonight and it was SO NICE to not see crowds of MEXICANS in there.

[RandallFlagg]

I'm not running, but if elected President, WAR would be declared on the first country that fires across our border or harms an American citizen.

Didn't it USED to be like that, though?

[McGavin999]

"We are the backbone of what America is, legal or illegal, it doesn't matter," said Melanie Lugo, who with her husband and their third-grade daughter joined a rally of some 75,000 in Denver. "We butter each other's bread. They need us as much as we need them."

This is just about the most offensive statement I have ever read. Who on earth do these people think they are? Who has given them the idea that they are so important?

[NapkinUser]

"In San Francisco, Benita Olmedo pulled her 11-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son from school."

Please do it every day!

So What! Hopefully they'll continue their "boycott". Hit the road Pedro.

[BunnySlippers]

1 million Americans who need a job should be hired today to replace these morons.

[NapkinUser]

""We butter each other's bread. They need us as much as we need them.""

Well if that's true, why don't you and all illegal immigrants leave this country for a couple of months, and if you're even half as important as you pretend to be, a guest worker plan should pass in no time at all.
