hmmmm the President and Congress? The California Senate? The liberal news media?
Does that cover em all?
Give them the benefit of the doubt and say 1 million.
In a nation of near 300,000 million we had one million gone. Oh, yeah, they are the real backbone of America with those numbers. [sarcasm]
We have people on welfare rolls ostensibly in need of jobs. We have prisoners sitting around getting fat while watching Oprah. We have potential workers among these two groups. Both outnumber the illegal population. We need illegals, why?
You know what I enjoyed? Being able to stop at the convenience store this morning and buy gas and my morning Frappucino, without having to wade through a throng of mexican construction workers whose clothing hasn't been washed in a week. No rude, blatant stares...no snide comments in spanish when I walk by. No hold ups in line because the cashier doesn't speak spanish and the mexican doesn't speak English.
I want more.
They are already criminals.
I'm Hispanic and...
1) Reported to work, and worked my normal 8-hour schedule.
2) I forgot to pack lunch, so I went to my favorite Mongolian BBQ place, and my Mexican buddies who man the barbecue stone also showed up to work and had the chance to talk a little bit with them. They didn't much care for the "boycott". I spent $8.60.
3) I bought gas. $29.
4) The satisfaction that I did the right thing, and came to this country legally, even though my family had to put 11 long years with the monumental red tape was quite priceless!!!
"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."
Oh it's going to cost you alright.
Just wait until these guys join labor unions and start voting %100 Democrat.
I hope the newly enfranchised Mexicans tax and strike your criminal enterprise into bankruptcy.
This is in suburban Philadelphia. I made the rounds of our local Wal-Mart, Target, Home Depot, Lowes (2), Michaels, Sports Authority, Modell's, PetSmart, and Giant Foods. Shopped till I dropped!
One of the key organizers of the immigration protests and rallies nationwide, including yesterday's in Washington, is a group whose leaders are tied to the Workers World Party, a Marxist organization that has expressed support for dictators Kim Jong-il of North Korea and Saddam Hussein of Iraq.
Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) Coalition, which also has proposed a nationwide boycott on May 1 to protest congressional efforts at immigration reform and border security, is an offshoot of the International Action Coalition, an anti-capitalism group founded by former Attorney General Ramsey Clark.
In a press release celebrating a March 25 rally in Los Angeles against immigration-law enforcement that drew an estimated 500,000 people, ANSWER said it helped organize "a major contingent in the march" and provided logistical support. The march was co-chaired by Juan Jose Gutierrez, director of Latino Movement USA, who also is a member of ANSWER's Los Angeles steering committee.
"We are people of dignity, and we demand respect," Mr. Gutierrez said at the rally. "This is the beginning of a movement that is going to call for a national work stoppage."

Many bad dudes are behind these protests.
I've got a another idea.
Find out who is EMPLOYING the illegals, and boycott
those businesses who are KNOWINGLY employing the illegals.
These prices these people charge for their products which
is basically made by low price illegal workers are exorbitant.
The businessperson is making big money, and we pay for
their services, and then we pay for their cheap labors
hospitalizaton, and schooling, and protection, and jailing,
etc....
If I knew how to set up a website, I would make one and
list all known employers of illegals.
Examples are:
Caterers
Restaurants
Food factories
Garment industry (especially the big names, whoo-hoo)
Food processors (Tyson's, Hormel, etc.)
Janitorial services
Hotel Workers
If we could cut their business by 10-15 percent, we would
destroy their profit margin, and they would be out of business.
They could stay in business if they don't hire illegals,
and can prove it, cause then we WOULD use their services.
The market for jobs to illegals would dry up, and *poof* most of the illegals
would go home, and hopefully get THEIR government to do
something to address THEIR societal ills. The American
Taxpayer shouldn't foot the bill for their own societies
PATHOLOGY.
In San Francisco, Benita Olmedo pulled her 11-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son from school.
"I want my children to know their mother is not a criminal," said Olmedo, a nanny who came here illegally in 1986 from Mexico. "I want them to be as strong I am. This shows our strength
Is she now legal? If not then shes teaching them crime pays. Some mother who would pull her children from school where they belong. Child services should be on to these parents. Why on earth would you take your children to a boycott where there could have been trouble? What a caring mother. Sure be strong and tell your children to stay in school and get an education so you too dont have to be a domestic. I am so sick of theses people I could scream. Strength would be standing up in Mexico and demanding the Mexican govt stop being corrupt and do the right thing for their people instead of pushing them into our country. I wonder if she paid her hospital bills when she had her 2 children?
And what would "the look" constitute? First person who comes up to my 7th generation, descendant-of-war-veterans, pre-Texas Republic, a$$ and asks "Papers please" is getting clocked.
Izquierdistas? I like it.
Here's my reply: So what? We didn't miss them.
Great idea!!! I am going to ask around and see who knows how to set one up. If I can find anyone I will get in touch with you. I am going to boycott tyson, goya and perdue. Enough is enough!!
Michael Savage interviewed one today Congressman King and for the Love of God these people are illegal immigrants there is a different legal vs illegal my mom is legal there is no problem with people coming here
