Well I'm in NJ and theres groups of illegals that stand on street corners looking for work each morning. They dont speak much english nor do they look like they've become Americanized. If I have insulted you in anyway I did not mean to. However years ago I can remember the INS coming thru local towns looking for those without green cards and they went up to anyone they thought was illegal. If they had the card they were not hassled, if they didnt they took them in. It worked. I have nothing against anyone coming here legally. But we need to do something to find out who is illegal. Unless they have the card how are we to know? I am not saying anyone who looks Mexican is illegal but come on there are plenty of Mexicans who you just can see arent here legally. Sorry If you took my comment as an insult it was not meant to be.
Shout "La Migra" as you approach. Illegals will run. Legal immigrants will start laughing.
It's just a slippery slope, and the a$$clowns tend to like falling down slippery slopes. There's an a$$clown on another thread who now says he's going to stop frequenting or shopping at ANY hispanic owned businesses or businesses who even EMPLOY hispanics, regardless of how the businessowners or employees feel about illegal immigration. Do you know how unfair this guy's plan is to conservative hispanic families with businesses like mine who are basically just like other Americans in terms of having built up their businesses, paid taxes, raised families, sent sons/fathers/brothers to war, etc.?
I think the authorities should take a very very close look at Hernandez business. We need to know all about his "hispanic laborers". ICE, IRS, INS, and as many alphabet agencies as possible.
And look forward to a lot more of not having it.
You are right. i am just in a mood. i have many friends who employ Mexicans who are the most hardworking loyal employees one could ask for. I just get so mad when i hear we are the invaders and they want their land back. I tend to rant then think. Usually im very nice and want to help everyone. i just see how we can give amnesty when we have so many people who are on lists waiting in line. i dont blame anyone for wanting a better life, both sides of my grandparents did. just lets find a sensible way to do it and if you want to come in, do it the legal way.
.... WRONG. We cannot accept illegal aliens in this country, and it adds insult to injury to see expressions from illegal aliens that think they have a 'right' to be here, irregardless of laws, of the costs, of the needs and efforts of citizens and honest law-abiding immigrants who DO obey the laws to get and stay here.
NO AMNESTY is the right response. Obey the law, then let's talk.
"I want my children to know their mother is not a criminal," said Olmedo, a nanny who came here illegally in 1986 from Mexico.
If it wasn't so STUPID I'd have to laugh at this craziness. Does she think that merely SAYING she's not a criminal makes her not a criminal???????
You are on the right track. I would join in. We would have to be ready to endure being called names and having our "organizers" and "ringleaders" accused of extremism, racism and hard-right leanings. As you know, the libby-dibs like to do boycotts and get called heroes by the MSM; and they think it's their own personal one-way street. And they enjoy not having their communist underpinnings exposed by the MSM. But, oh, how they would howl if we made a two-way street out of it, and had a BIG boycott of our own. I am so sick of this, I'm ready for a little payback.
a nationwide boycott that succeeded in slowing or shutting many farms, factories, markets and restaurants..

Many? How many?
More pap&crap from AP
My ex girlfriend gave me a call today and the McDonalds at the local mall where she lives closed today because of the strike.
It appears that the nationwide strike by illegal immigrants and their supporters caused some headaches but little immediate economic impact, as outside of Denver, Chicago, and Los Angeles...However, in a story that will likely have immigration hardliners talking for days, the AP reports that twenty-five percent of the children in the Los Angeles School District failed to attend classes today. After all, LAUSD's annual budget for its 746,000 students is over $13 billion, or about $17,000 per student. If the walkout caused 25% of the students to strike, that puts the annual educational cost for illegal immigrants at around $3.25 billion -- just for Los Angeles.
You can bet that a lot of people will do precisely these kinds of calculations nationwide. How many students walked out in Chicago? In Houston? In Denver? One of the reasons why illegal immigrants existed in the shadows was to avoid this kind of exposure, but that's no longer operative.
It was a great boycott if you compare a mapping of Non-Citizens against a mapping of the last two Presidential elections
