We are on the same page. People are making this a witch hunt and are forgetting who allowed this situation to get out of control. They are ignoring the ones that have benefited from exploiting cheap labor and making tons of money from poverty stricken illegals. Shame on American patriots!!

The word is ILLEGAL immigrent it doesn't matter where they are from. I think that the people that employ them should be arrested and put in Jail and have to pay a huge fine for hiring them. That is the real problem. No Jobs = no work = no reason to come here.

it is Ignorance. They are showing support for the country that they are illegally fleeing from to be in the U.S. though it could be argued that they are showing support for their heritage and culture.  and if that is the case that is fine . But I consider it ignorant if they are protesting to stay within this country which they are already in ILLEGALLY! It does not gain them any favor. Because in all REALITY they do not have the right to protest picket or march unless they are legally in the country. technically they should all be arrested and deported because they have no legal right to be here.

I know. If these people are so righteous why aren't they in Mexico standing up for their children's future like many are here in the US. The hypocrisy is so obvious. They are enablers. They make the bar so low for illegals the illegals loose any sense of accomplishment. It is ALWAYS about what can a corporation do for the illegals, how can America do something more for illegals, shouldn't America learn Spanish instead of illegals learning English. It is pathetic. These People are cowards.

Well it is safe to say, the illegal immigrants were out shopping today. More so then the Americans that pay for their benefits so they have that extra buying power now.

The media estimates that almost ONE MILLION ILLEGAL FOREIGN MIGRANTS  and their advocates Militantly Marched in the streets of America under the flag of Mexico. Their agenda is for our FEDERAL LAWS TO BE IGNORED , and their Criminal Trespass into these sovereign United States to be rewarded with unlimited benefits that include the rights of American Citizenship! \n\nAs these large mobs of foreigners marched proudly under the flag of a foreign country to demand the right to live and prosper in the United States, they claimed that the issue is immigration. But their own actions reveal what is in fact a determined effort to FORCE Americans to ACCEPT LARGE FOREIGN COLONIES  in our midst, and to pay handsomely for the privilege of doing so. We have both the RIGHT and the moral MORAL OBLIGATION  to DEFEND AMERICA , and  JUST SAY NO !!!\n\n\nIt REALLY BURNS My *** That A Large Portion Of The Latin Community (Citizens And ILLEGAL ALIENS ALIKE) Are MARCHING On Our Cities Carrying The FLAG Of ANOTHER NATION , And DEMANDING The Rights Of AMERICAN Citizens... THAT Is The ICING On The Cake \n\nFolks .. You WANT To Be Treated Like AMERICANS Yet You Will Protest Under A FOREIGN FLAG ... And You Expect ME To RALLY With You And SUPPORT Your Cause??? \n\nI Think NOT.. Perhaps You Should Realize Exactly What It Is That You Are Trying To Accomplish... Because To ME It Looks Like An INVASION From A Foreign Army .. \n\nYou Wish To Become AMERICANS With The RIGHTS Of AMERICANS .. \nYet Many Of You REFUSE To SPEAK My/Our LANGUAGE\n \nAnd REFUSE To Honor My/Our Flag\nBy WAVING YOURS In My FACE\nAnd WALKING On MINE??? \n\nWell I REFUSE To Let YOU Continue To Burden My Pocket \nAnd The Pockets Of My AMERICAN BROTHERS Of ANY DESCENT

To the best of my knowledge the only reason for this huge " boycott " is two parts, first and foremost, it is suppose to show, I guess members of government, how much we "depend" on immigrants, and how things would be rough here if they werent here. So basically they are wanting the same rights for the illegal immigrants that legal workers have, ie; insurance, benefits, overtime, stuff like that if I am correct. The second thing is to draw attention to the huge platform of hispanics in the way of votes, to show governmentt hat theirs is a huge vote potential that they are trying to basically bargain with, again if I am reading stuff correctly.\n\nAs far as current immigration laws, i am not up-todate on all of them, but you can apply for a work visa, here and not be a citizen of the US, you can get a student visa, and not be a citizen. The reason they arent citizens, is because they wont or dont want to go through the process to become a citizen, I think it can take upto 2 yrs. They come over here, illegally, due to the fact that there are so many people who would pay them 5 or 6 dollars an hour, rather than pay a person 10 or 12 an hour. They sneak over here, to take these farm, ranch, industry type things, that they say americans wont do, and they take their money and send it back to mexico, and yet they want or try to get medicaid, foodstamps, free hospitalization etc.. and give nothing back, they pay no taxes, they file no taxes, because its usually under the board. \n\nThe mexican government isnt going to STOP them from leaving, whyy would they, the people send money down there, and it goes into there economy.\n\nI hope I wasnt too far off base

Truth is illegal mexican workers are "the new slaves" like black people were at one point.There is a high demand of illegal workers and Thats why they are here! People want to pay for cheap labor and thats why they are here. But why just focus on one group??? what about the italian illegal immigrants? and what about the germans? and the polish? and the chinese? or japanese? my point is that people discriminate against only the mexican workers and then (and this bothers me a lot) they come off saying "OH I'm part german and part ecuatorian and part this and part that" Your ancestors were immigrants too at one point or another FACE IT! Unless you have 100% indian and only indian (native american) from before the british got here indian You come from an immigrant background. I think they deserve a chance ONLY if they want to STAy here and learn the language and pay taxes and not borders hop,work and then go back. If they want to truly become american citizens I say YOU DESERVE IT!! and YOU SHOULD GET A CHANCE!!

A DAY WITHOUT AMERICANS ! April 17, 2006! \n\nIn response to the recent mass national rallies fearlessly staged by the illegal alien lobby, The Dustin Inman Society is suggesting that Americans nationwide stay home from work and not spend any money on April 17. 2006 - income tax day. \n\n\nAPRIL 17, 2006 LEGAL Americans are being asked to stay home from work and not spend any money that day! Protest ILLEGAL aliens, their boycotts and marches, their taking of jobs, resources, welfare, healthcare, disobediance and defiance of American laws. Show congress that they may ignore our emails and phone calls, but we won't remain ignored! \n\nSupported by Americans for Legal Immigration \n\nhttp://alipac.us/ftopict-20151.html

If they want to do that fine. However there are ALOT of CITIZENS that have made plans to not make purchases UNTIL monday. Personally I plan to go have all my meals at restaraunts, do my grocery shopping, then take in a movie. We do not NEED illegal immigrants here...we WANT and NEED those that want to be PART of our country and contribute to OUR American identity.

The Enchanted Fairy is right!\nNow let's hope INS goes to a couple of these big protests and rounds up a bunch of these illegal scumbags!\n\nWe could make a big dent in the illegal population by enforcing the labor laws and giving HUGE fines to both the illegal worker and the company that hired them. After awhile it would become cheaper for those companies to pay better wages to Americans, than to hire the illegals!

I hope they all get out and protest the border security-- skip work and school and wave their flags in the street while burning ours... so America will WAKE UP and smell the burritos.

Well, please tell me then, why do they come to the US and start badmouthing the US and her citizens?  Why do they say things like, "We're here to take over the USA!"  Why do they say, "We are here, so get used to it?"  Why do they swing their Mexican flags around, instead of the American flag?  Why do they sing the American Anthem in Spanish, instead of in English?  Don't they know that is repugnant to the American citizens?  Why do they seem to be trying to take advantage of the generosity of the USA, such as stealing SSNs, fraudulently collecting welfare, using the medical system without paying for it?  Why do they yell, "We do jobs you lazy Americans won't do?" when, really, they are undercutting the Americans who would gladly do those jobs for a living wage?  A lot of the jobs they are doing for less than minimum wage would be gladly done by our unemployed or by our high school students, if they could at least get paid minimum wage or better, but when the Mexicans will do them for much less, they take those jobs away from American citizens.  And, the Mexicans can only afford to do those jobs for such cheap wages because they don't pay all the taxes and other deductions on their wages that the American citizens have to pay and they are willing to live with an unbelievable number of people in a small residence, so they don't pay much living costs and still have lots of money to send home.  In my mind, if they were really thankful to be able to come to the USA to provide better for their families back home, they would not do these things.  As well, they would not be protesting in our streets - that really turns the legal citizens against them - don't they realize that?  We feel they should be protesting in the streets of their own country - trying to fix things there, not trying to force us to accept them here.
