Alright Americans...enoughs enough!  Our answer to the idiots that think they impact American economy so much, is to buy, buy, buy on May 1st.  Everything you are looking to get, get.  We don't need illegals to support our country! I don't care who they are! There is plenty of us to take care of it just fine!  So go shopping!  May 1st, it's the day of English speaking people! Yeah!

I like it!  Nice suggestion.  Maybe Ill even go downtown which is supposed to be "shut off" by the protests and do it.\n\nLots of silly posts again.  Americans would be happy to pick cabbage or any other fruit or veggie if the pay was enough.  But its not, because the illegals are willing to do it so cheaply.  Its called Supply and Demand, and its Econ 101.\nSecondly, its not racist or ignorant to realize that the social infrastructure of the US cannot bear the weight of so many illegals.  The Health Care System is breaking, the Justice System is breaking, the Schools runneth over with students, and all you ignorant people can say is that we are racist for not allowing them in.  Well, I hope one of the illegals, one who is a child molestor or a murder or a thief moves next door to you.  Legals should always be welcome in the US- but a tidal wave of illegals is swamping this country, and because they have not been screened, there is a much higher % of criminal element that are illegals that would ever be allowed to immigrate legally.  Wake up and educate yourselves on the facts of this matter.

Yeppers, november can't get here fast enough...and if the democrats have their hats on straight, they'll be pushing for nailing the damn border shut. TIGHT. Americans are getting robbed, that's all there is to it, the politicians got us coming, and going, it's time for reform, and for people to reclaim their lives, their wallets, their freedoms, and stop letting the hispanic lobby from trying to usurp our national independence. They're actively involved in our government, as you just illustrated, and Mexico needs to stand up, and wipe its' own ass instead of living off the United States Of America. Let's de-globalize a bit, and let the rest of the world take care of itself, for a change. If they can't, well, sucks to be them...

This couldn't have been done 100 yrs. ago, let alone today.  No one in the states today wears clothes made in the USA.  We are so tangled with the Global Economy, we couldn't function if we withdrew.  There  would be no cars, computers, TV, trade of any kind, etc.  if we did that.  We have to be involved.  The question is about who is making the deals we get in, and who do they serve?  Today, we have been sold down the river by the powerful and they don't care what happens to you or your country.  We  should be telling them to go screw themselves.

Thanks for asking this! You bring up the real issue, the real crisis surrounding millions of illegal aliens living in the USA. Fact is they do NOT contribute to our economy because they don't pay taxes. To make matters worse, they send quite a bit of the tax free money they make back to Mexico. Then to make matters really worse they use our hospitals for medical care because, that's right, in the ER no doctor will (or should) refuse to provide medical care based on the ability to pay. Hospital's are not allowed to ask whether you are legal or illegal. Going to the ER for anything is very expensive but since illegal aliens don't have insurance or a social security card or any form of ID that identifies them as a citizen of this country, they can't go see a regular family physician. Guess who pays the hospital bill?????? You guessed it! All of us taxpaying suckers. Don't even get me started on food stamps. Oh yeah, didn't you hear that some illegal aliens are getting food stamps. Did you also hear that some are getting housing assistance???? Did you know it is now considered taboo to ask about residency status??? How about our prisons? Do you have any idea how many illegal aliens are sitting in our prisons receiving medical care, 3 meals a day, clothing and clean sheets???? Yeah, we also pay for that. Oh and wait!!! don't forget the education of their children in our public schools. Who pays for that???? Oh yeah, that's right, the taxpayers. \n\nYou are absolutely right!!! This is not about race!!!! There is a far greater crisis at hand. There is no way the amount illegal aliens contribute by working (tax free) can even begin to scratch the surface of what they take from our economy. This is criminal! This is illegal! If they are illegal send them home!\n\nPlease teach us a lesson! Go home, we will learn how to pick our own vegetables and do our own laundry!

AMEN!!!!!!!!  Why don't us LEGAL citizens have our own march and protest the ILLEGALS-THAT would definately shut down our economy!!  I'm ready when every one else is!!  Let's show our government who really rules-the LEGAL citizens of America!  \n\nAnd to all people who don't speak English-LEARN IT!  I don't go to your country expecting you to understand me or conform to my way of speaking.  France speaks French; Italy speaks Italian; Spain speaks Spanish; Mexico speaks Spanish; AMERICA SPEAKS ENGLISH!!!! Get used to it!  I am tired of hearing your gibberish when I am shopping at the store.  And especially when you whip out your WIC coupons and welfare checks. And I DO NOT want to hear my beloved national anthem sung in Spanish!  Go sing your own anthem!  ILLEGALS SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY RIGHTS IN AMERICA.  PERIOD.

Ahahaha, thats awesome.  Get those illegals out of here.\n\nEdit: To crazybanana, the drop in shoplifting is attributed to all of the mexicans being busy protesting and not able to shoplift.

I am SICK and FU*KING TIRED of these DAMNED ILLEGALS coming here and receiving all sorts of things. The US is NOT obligated to illegals, especially when there's so much poverty and SH*T to be dealt with here. I WORK full time for a living, but things are set up so that I make too little to afford medical coverage and too much to be granted assistance!  People like me are sick of getting the shaft because there's ignorant, whining hippies around who don't really know their A*S from their elbow about the economy and what is fair. We don't have enough to go around if we can't take care of our own. Maybe some of these morons here want to see more illegals stealing their jobs and food from their mouths and watch them get health benefits we can't even get, along with more terrorists here. SCREW THE MELTING POT! IT HAS BECOME A DANGER ALL AROUND.

I have no problem with anyone who comes to this country legally taking any job they are able to do. But this is America and the jobs it produces are for Americans.  If you like our economy, our freedoms, our way of life, our laws, then by all means find a legal way to come join us, become one of us, add to our work force, our culture, support this country, and love it as we do.

I'd support such a move not because of any of my personal politics or beliefs, but because Americans need to be reminded about what all this freedom and democracy and inalienable rights $h!t is about.  If heads are so fed up, if everyone's so f--king outraged, they need to get offline and go do something about it.  Look how fast immigration issues got sent up when all the illegal workers rallied and boycotted.  They're not even citizens and they're more American than Americans!\n\nFor some interesting info, though, check Harper's magazine's April issue (I think)-- there's a round table discussion about the possibility, feasability, and consequences of a modern-day American coup detat.

Yes I heard about it. All immigrants should suport it. According to the anti-immigrant people, "immigrants are a drain on society."  If this is true, then during the day on May 1st the stock market will surge, and the economy will boom.  If not, we prove them wrong once and for all.  We know what will happen!\n Don't listen to those people who said that they will go and buy more things on that day, if they said that it is because they know that it will affect the country!

there is going to be changes in our government concerning Immigration laws. There is a big movement because Senate is trying to pass a bill called HR 4437 that criminalizes all immigrants and all that help an immigrant in any way regardless what they are to you. So all immigrants and their families, friends, etc., are doing a boycott on May 1st. "A Day W/O A Mexican" trying to get the government to see what a huge impact it would make in the States if they deported 12Mil Immigrants. It would make a huge change. So either they come up with a fair law, or send them off back to their countries and loose alot of money. There for there will be a huge CHANGE!

They are refusing to purchase American Goods and Services. The Mexican Citizen contributes a great deal of money to the American Government. Why would they no purchase goods and services from their country? Do you know what tomorrow is about or did your parents place their half ripe ideas on you? Do you have a job? You can't say much because you aren't working for $4 an hour to support a family.

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.

Thank the pro-hispanic lobby on this one, what it largely seems to amount to is a 'shotgun wedding' between the US and Mexico, and american taxpayers are supposed to buy off on all this garbage and not bat an eye. Since the reverse effect is happening, well it kind of shows that the GOP's head and hind-quarters aren't very well connected anymore, or one has lapped the other, something like that...what this also brings to light, though, is all these other 'programs' that give money away all over the place, Matthew Lesko's dream-come-true, and the taxpayer's worst nightmare, wealth redistribution in the worst possible sense. I think if we're going to help Mexico, it needs to be a lot more metered, and done AFTER the border's nailed shut, so as to minimize the negative impact on american communities. I think when the House finally gets around to consulting the voters on this one, there's going to be a general consensus going back to washington that basically says 'fix the border, and forget the rest of it'. It's a nice idea to try and help others, but if that 'help' is just going to get abused, there's not much point to it. Necessity's the mother of invention, and a lot of the people that originally settled the United States didn't get much 'help', because there wasn't any. Let's not have any more of this 'give away the country to appease your 3rd world business partners' garbage....Mexico could be rolling in money(some already are, they just don't share out) and feed, clothe, and educate every last one of their citizens, probably just off their oil revenues, but instead they'd like to ride the american guilt trip into a split-level condo...time for voters/taxpayers to wake the hell UP and say 'no mas' at the polls, come november...

Hello Vince, I do not (Support Illegal Immigration) because I would be supporting something that is against the laws of the United States. I do though Support Legal Immigrants. If I went to your Country they would probably arrest me & have me De-ported. I cannot & will not (Support An Illegal Act)this should not be mis-understood! The United states Tax Paying Citizen has to pay for the Authorities to House Illegals in our Jails& the Jails have been overcrowded for many years now. I have not heard anyone saying that they won't Support a Legal Immigrant. The American Citizen worked the Fields before the Mexicans did here in america, & now they do not want to pay what the American is really worth. I Love Mexico & it's (Sweet & Innocent People over there. If the Illegals just waited it out to become Citizens than what is the Big Problem.  Good Luck & Take Good Care.

that's the problem with America. i know what your saying. we should start to make our own factories and build our own products. then we can truly be an independent nation. That is what our founding fathers wanted. But people will still buy product simple because its cheap. have you noticed that Wal-mart is cheaper that target or shop-ko or any other store. that is what Americans want... things that are cheap so people will continue to shop there. I am not a Wal-mart (china-mart) citizen and neither are my friends. but it is out-of-my-hands, i can't control other people. But people buy from their because they are cheap and not everyone can afford higher prices.
