Right now the leader of Monday's boycott is on CSPAN. I heard it on CSPAN radion, not sure which channel.
big time backfire
>>My impression is that this is going to backfire.<<
I agree. This isn't like the civil rights marches where people knew in their hearts that it was wrong to have segregations laws. The main effect here is raise awareness of how darn many illegals we have and they are not quiet.
Anybody that is more inclined to grant amnesty now is stupid.
Sorry, but frankly, I don't think most people here will do squat. Seriously, too much TV on, too many new CDs to buy. Look, I'm friends with lots of people who are "outraged" about various issues. The most I've ever got them to do is vote.
I never, never ever ever thought I'd say this. Poppy, God rest your soul. You were right. The great generation was the last generation, it's a double black diamond down hill slope from here.
So let me get this straight. It took women 100 yrs and blacks about 200 yrs to get what trespassers want overnight?
I agree. Apathy of the typical American is the illegals' greatest weapon. We are not typical.
I like your name CommieCutter, especially in answer to your question,"Why?". Every A Freeper, every American should read should be reading MAO,THE UNKOWN STORY by Jung Chang and Jon Halliday. Mao's rise to power. Character-wise he was Bill Clinton's twin brother. Stupid,selfish, self-absorbed, lazy. No ideology other than self. He knew that to get what he wanted he had to destroy the Chinese culture and family. Read the book and you'll think you're reading the newspaper. I'm a realist, and an avid reader. It's the most frightening book I've ever read.
you've got half a country too lazy to vote while the country is fighting two wars, and half the remaining country too stupid to realize what's going on.
Good grief man, I understand all of that. I thought I made that clear. LOL!
Just wondering if anyone has thought maybe this is what they're logic is.
Sorry, I'm just really fired up right now. I've been real open minded about this issue, and super sensitive to the human beings behind the rhetoric. I've been willing to come down the middle and compromise. I've been open to the guest worker program. I've been a decent guy about this, but now I've had it. I've had it. "we EXPECT," mexican flags, national anthem in Spanish, no gringo day. Spend two minutes on a yahoo message board about immigration and your heart will explode.
Sorry you got the blunt end of it.
HE IS SO TRUE. No meddlin here in Old Mexico for people who weren't born here eating nopales and chomping jalapeños. If you are foreign, STAY away from protests, they have cameras, and act....quick, 24 hours you are at the border looking for a new homeland.
I saw earlier someone was calling it "Bite the Hand That Feeds You Day." hahaha. Wish I could remember who to give credit to.
It does smack in the face to those dear people who tried in a nice way to get to the USA and were denied visas. In Mexico people generally have learned if they pitch a fit, and make a squawl, they can get lawmakers to bend. Let's see if the SOLDIERS on Capitol Hill have the...... oh well.
Why are they here?
"Because, the gringos have exploited Mexico", they will answer you. /sarc
So.....third-worlders come here on their own volition, get free health care and free education, and make more money in one day than they made in an entire month in their home country and this burrito-brain has the nerve to equate their situation with slavery?

Biting the Hand That Feeds You - April 25, 2006
You're making my heart race again! LOL ;)
First, relax yourself.
Second, be happy, because these idiots are going to save the Republican majority.
Also, in LA, the police will be out in force, keeping the freeways open and towing cars (and holding them for 30 days), which is imperative.
If, however, it is done with the intention of making us mad as hell, then they are not going to get a reaction from me.
I think that is definitely part of it. Abortions = NO new citizens = need for more workers to keep the system going. Same problem France/ Europe is having. We are, imho, a whole lot better off with Catholic hispanics coming up than Muzzies, like they have. I think this is why there is such ambivalence about this.
