LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Latino advocacy groups have called for a one-day economic protest on Friday to mark their opposition to California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's annulment of a measure that would have allowed undocumented workers to get driver's licenses.

Illegal immigrants boycotting California? Does that mean they are going to move back to Mexico? Maybe Nevada? Think of all the lawns that need mowed and the vegetables that need picked! Think of all of the taxes that will go unpayed!

Oh wait, illegal immigrants don't pay taxes. So what effect is this boycott supposed to have? I guess media exposure but that's about it.

I hope they boycott the U.S. and take their sorry butts back to Mexico.

I'm thinking about doing a counter -protest and not spending any money the day of their protest and letting congress know why. Anyone else interested? We could make a heck of a lot larger impact than they can.

Just a little correction...

I know of a group who are very lazy. Their productivity is poor, at midday they sleep, and from then on they slow down. They seem to compensate with poor quality workmanship. Can anyone guess who I might be referring to. Please don't be a racist and suggest that I might be talking about a minority group because those of whom I speak are actually the majority in too many places.

SO what do we do let anybody who wants to wander into this country stay and work because they might work a little faster than the native born ,the problem with that theory is the second generation of mexicans are far worse than the natives.

OK, here is the answer to the question I posed in post#7. The answer is primates. Oh, you thought I was talking about people? Well, I suppose that there are people who operate on the level of primates but who could they be?
