America will see on Monday that the immigrant community is what keeps this country moving. NO immigrant is illegal. This land wasnt ours to begin with.

I hope the movement catches on. A person's heritage should not be allowed to be hijacked by others of the same ethnicity solely  for their own agenda. It gives anti illegal 'Hispanics' a louder voice in the matter.

I think this new law is crap too. They should not be able to chose the people that live here. I mean we make a big part of this country without us this country isn't a real country. This country is made up of different race. What would they say if we toke the white American out of the latino countries.

Pointless. It'll be "just another manic Monday",get up take a shower, dress, grab a cup of coffee and a granola bar and go to work, late as usual. I'll get gas on my way home, grill some chicken out on the deck and chill out. That boycott won't affect anyone except the communities the illegals themselves live in. Sorta like shooting yourself in the foot. The Spanglish Anthem was just another nail in their coffin, May 1st will be their funeral. I'll sit back and watch it on TV and LMAO!! Great entertainment.

True!  And whether Americans are suffering or not is a moot point - Americans certainly WILL suffer when half the earth's population has decided to invade this country under the guise of "immigration" - there are poor suffering people everywhere - is it up to the U.S to look after everyone in the whole wide world?  Pancha I'm afraid is firmly on the side of the illegals - makes you wonder if she even LIKES Americans - what is her agenda really?  Will she crack open the champagne when this country is finally taken over by illegals?  Because when that happens, I'm outta here ... I'm going to Mexico, which by then should be pretty empty .. they have nice beaches there I've heard ... :)

You're absolutely correct!  Ans people fail to realize the extent to which these "illegals" make all of our lives easier. I hope they continue to boycott and protest.

The boycott was organized so that people who claim that we do not contribute to the economy can be proven wrong. Also, to understand the immigration debate you must do some research. Find out why people are risking their lives to come to a land where they will be exploited. Think about what it would take for you to do the same thing, and realize that whatever your answer is, that is what they are going through. Research NAFTA, CAFTA, and FTAA, and you will find out why people are coming to this country. And when people start a revolution to change their situation at home, what happens? Research Salvador Allende, his ouster, and the Pinochet Regime. The complaints that some Americans have, i.e. foreigners coming into our country..., well we have been complaining about these things for decades. I guess you can blame this immigration problem on karma.\n\nAnswer for RAM- Good point, but what if your cousin had to move into your house because your burnt his house down, or you got him kicked out of his house. Most immigrants are here because of the U.S. foreign policies that they have signed with corrupt governments.

immigrants who are for it are going to walk out of thier jobs, immigrants are not going to go to school and not buy anything. They want to see, what happens if those people are not in the states and to see the impact on US economy.

How is the economy going to suffer if they only stop buying stuff for one day they are all just going to go out on either Sunday or Tuesday to get the stuff they needed monday. These people are ignorant if they seriously think this will do anything but damage their cause by pissing off more Americans by waving their da** Mexican flags and pissing all over the American cultures and traditions!

I think this particular pissing contest was started by a bunch of psuedo-militant hispanics, bent on gaining access to america by any means necessary, you should talk to them about your feelings on racism...anytime someone throws the race card, there's going to be backlash.\n\nWe don't need this stuff in america, but we've got it now...\nbe sure to thank all the nice people that have come into the country in recent years with an attitude, and a chip on their shoulders, ready to pick a fight...

You'll see after a few days the boycott will show the great \nimpact it caused on the U.S.. A few people will be speechless.

The border policy is bull. And honestly, it's in the news and all, but the people I talk to in Southern California.. we don't care! It's just the media hype making it out to be a bigger deal than it is (I hope). To get a little stereotypical, what would we possibly do without Mexicans?? Honestly, who would cook, clean, cut grass, wash the dishes, and do all the other jobs that nobody else wants?? And they are not stealing our jobs, because nobody wants them! And if a Mexican is smart enough to compete with us for jobs (not saying they aren't, many many are!) then that is great! Who are we to decide who gets what? Honestly, the crimes that some of them commit aren't enough to deport an entire group of people. And finally, for the kicker.. WE ALL ENTERED THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY! I hate that argument, but honestly, it is true.

I'm am definitely taking off may 1st!\nAnd my aunt who owns a large grocery store, a restaurant, and a wholesale distribution warehouse is closing all her businesses for that day!!!she's very wealthy, and she's supporting it alot! I think alot of employers are going to be out boycotting!!! \nso,shake that off racists!\n\nAlot of the people on here leaving rude messages are just jealous because alot of the illegals work harder than them and they feel guilty and scared that harder working people are going to achieve more!\n\nlazy mentality!

Hayleylov for Prezidente'!! Forget Condi or Hillary - you get my vote! To all those answering against this, think about what the illegal immigrants and their supporters are proposing, and tell me why it's any different? Good for them to do it, but not for us? Hayley, it appears the ol' double standard has once again reared its ugly head! I'm with you, where do I sign?!\n\nAngi (below), in your question 4 days ago, you proudly proclaimed a boycott of everything on May 1st! Why is that different?

I look at it like this, the Republicans are crying to get the National Guard to police the Southern boarder States boarders. The travesty of President Bush ignoring the obvious devastation of New Orleans is just flip-flopping. It's all the demise of ethic populations in the U.S.. If America goes by the Republicans politics then the Boarder states failure to keep the Latinos from crossing the boarders would be at their expense. It's their fault that the problem exists. So I don't listen to any Republicans anymore with their racism.

They ran out of excuses to ditch school so using "protest" as a form of excuse.  That's why they shouldn't be here because the take things for granted and honor what priviledge they have.\n\nMaybe that's why those groups don't understand the word "illegal", and with no dignity whatsoever go demand for rights they dont even have.  No shame!
