1. The state Senate passed a resolution in support of the May 1 rally which blocked traffic in the business district of Los Angeles and encouraged people to not spend money or work. Besides trying to harm the state economy, the elected officials in Sacramento punched in to get paid for the day and then left immediately to join the rallies.
2. Activists compare their rallies to the Civil Rights movement, a movement of legal American Citizens who were protesting for equal rights as citizens.
3. Activists say they are carrying on the tradition of Cesar Chavez, who was AGAINST illegal immigration.
4. In true union tradition, Mexican workers who planned to go to work on Monday were threatened with physical harm by rally supporters.
5. LAUSD initially said kids who skipped school Monday would be fined for truancy, but later announced that anyone who skipped school could make it up later. Over 71,000 geniuses skipped school to attend the rally in downtown LA. Meanwhile the CA Teachers Association is running ads saying the reason kids aren't getting into college is because the school system doesn't have enough money for guidance counselors.
It goes on...
I like the middle finger thing. I was thinking the same thing!
They should take off every Monday
Cinnamon Girl -
I love your captions! Keep up the good work.
I think we should make an exception for the burrito guy, he makes a good point. LOL
I just wish that the hardworking tax paying Americans here would get any praise from its government for the work it does.
The governmment is either patting itself on the back for what it does or blames us for all the problems and its lack of money.
It has been many years since anyone in government thanked the American people for anything.
I loved your captions!
Nice work, Cinnamon Girl. I especially like your comments!

71,000 geniuses! LOL
It has occurred to me that 'boycott' has no exact equivalent word in Spanish. I think most participants in yesterday's 'boycott' regarded the thing as some sort of gringo three day weekend. Judged by my local Wally World yesterday, most of our illegals went shopping. I went shopping too. I think Uno de Mayo will turn out to be a great day for the consumer economy.
OKAY, everyone.....ready to start mowing your own lawns and making your own burritos? It really isn't that hard.
I think you guys are all missing it.
When global warming creates massive storms that destroy the Northern hemisphere, the borders will need to reverse flow and Mexico will have to let us all in to escape.
I know this will happen because I saw it in a Hollywood movie.
They want 'justice, rights'. Why not fight for them in their own country? Because it's easier to steal them in the US.
The West Coast is now the West Bank.
In a Denver paper a few days ago, a despairing school official said a poll indicated fifty per cent of Hispanic kids dropped out of high school because: I. hard times at home. 2. low self esteem. 3. Peer pressure. Now California thinks they can solve this same problem with more counselors. Soon to come: No high school or college standards at all, no exams, don't bother with class, come one, come all, FREE! Mexico has never ever placed any importance on education. It's a cultural problem. They don't think beyond the end of their noses, and dem. politicians see them, quite rightly, as the new house slaves.
What a golden opportunity to skim the pondscum from the gene pool.
I saw a whole lot of Che t-shirts yesterday.
