well the illegal immagrants arent paying any taxes and the government is saying that unless you want to be here legally, and pay taxes the you should leave. the boycott is showing the government that without the immagrants, we (the americans) would loose a bunch of money on that one day when they but nothing at all, skip school, skip work and any other "american activity"

The best way to do it is to punish those who employee the illegals.  If there is no work for them here, they will not come

I am an immigrant and i did it legally right from the get go... i pay taxes and do everything a hard working citizen should do... send them back... let them do it legally so they can appreciate what they will receive... make more jobs for Americans and legal immigrants, i am sick of hearing about this day without an immigrant bulltit... one more thing, why is it only the hispanics making trouble, you don't hear of any other immigrant group causing problems...hmmmm... hate me, i don't care

Honey, you are barking up the wrong tree by trying to rationalise this problem with those who are willingly crossing our borders and breaking our laws.  Why SHOULD they change this behaviour?  Why SHOULD they fix their own country's system?  They can come here, illegally, but no one seems to mind.. they can work for cash and pay no taxes and take that money back to Mexico.. AND they can apply for and RECIEVE public assistance..INCLUDING welfare CHECKS.. and all of THAT money goes back to Mexico as well.  WE are funding their country and their government only has to tell them HOW.   Don't think for a minute that this is fantasy.. I worked for the department of Social Services in California and I was REQUIRED to give them the benefits even though they were illegal.. and I was FORBIDDEN to even SAY the words 'green card' to them. why?  because it might OFFEND them!!  Needless to say, I didn't stay long.. but I did take the time to talk to many of my clients.. yes, the illegal ones [after all, they made up 90%!! of my case load] and they explained the entire process to me.. all the time LAUGHING at how STUPID we Americans are to ALLOW them to do it.  So, I know what I'm talking about.

Hiring illegal immigrants is a cheap & easy way for businesses to get the help they need.  The illegals and the businesses both are taking jobs away from Americans.  If the jobs wern't available to those that cross the borders, they might think twice about risking their lives for nothing.

If illegals are sent back to their countries (not all illegals are mexicans), it is going to hurt our economy. Lots and lots of them have bussines around and debts and ongoing credits, the loss of moneys would be too great for commerce. Also, there are jobs that won't be filled, like right now, in florida farmers are starting to complain about the shortage in help to pick their oranges, tomatoes and strawberries, I'm already expecting an increase in vegetables price for next year.

ilegal imigrants PAY 99 % OF EVERY TAX THERE IS and get nothing back come tax time, all that money from every single check they took from them.. GONE. \nall they get back is a bunch of racist people calling them names, because they work their asses off to feed their families, and risk alot in doing so, including being killed by armed civillians,militia style.\nso much for the land of the free.\nimmigrants do hundreds of jobs that the average american take for granted, if they didnt, your life as it is would change drastically.

How can illegals in another country call for a protest and walk out. Illegal to me means against the Law. what gives them the cheek to call a walk out. i suppose if they let them have a rally/protest why cant the Government of your country not just round them up and send them back to where ever they have come from. After all they are illegal they should not be there in the first place. \nmy opinion only.

We have so many problems with immigration because our system is terrible.  We let anyone in at will, papers or not.  Then we try to deport the people who should be allowed to stay.  Now the government wants to drop the price of immigration.  I'm not against someone trying to make a better life for themself, but shouldn't we be trying to help them in their own countries?  That is, make life better back home.  Where are all the jobs for these people?  Some of them, and this has been documented, end up on our welfare rolls.  So I get to support my family plus someone else's who never worked to build our country.

Ha! That is so funny! What about the 7,649 that lost their jobs that day? If they really want jobs, why do they not go when they have one? I just don't get it I guess. IDK!

Rock on. \n\nAnd even though they're "cheap labor", they're taking away jobs from those that have taken all of the appropriate steps to be here legally. Even a low-paying job is a  valuable job to someone who doesn't have one.

experts said it wasn't a big impact because many immigrants still went or had to work many of the people from May 1st were illegal immigrants, so guess what, they aren't tax payers, so imagine if instead of illegal were all American citizen that would be another story...

There are so many illegals coming into America that they are starting to undermine their own people. Your right...the new illegals are starting to work for even less than the ones that came last month. Wages for illegals fell by 2% as a result of them fighting for jobs between themselves.\n\nGreat point!!!

If she didn't have the correct type of Visa, they could have deported her for working.  I have never heard of anyone being deported because INS (Immigration Naturalization Service) said the person was here to work.  Doesn't make sense...Need more information...

theyre worried about their gov't checks drying up soon...they might have to get a real job...\n\nto all liberal protestors..i suggest you start backing deporting illegals so there will be a job there for you when your gov't cheese runs out..

If illegals are living next to me, then our country's law enforcement really sucks.  Why have any legal process whatsoever if illegals can live and work freely for years to earn anough money to buy a decent house in a good neighborhood.  Why does our government allow them to obtain a bank account, buy a car, get a driver's license, enroll their kids in our schools, etc.  It is unbelievable when you think of how many failures/breakdowns need to occur for illegals to remain in this country for years.

I'm with you.  I just can't understand why this is allowed to happen.  I just keep asking, "what part of illegal are they having trouble with"?  And as far as the government is concerned, what can I say?  The whole thing just frosts me.  I almost never vote for an incumbent and after this I may remove the word "almost" from that statement.\n\nI'm sure you understand that if we legalize all of them right now, it will only lead to more illegals entering to take the $.50 an hour jobs these folks will no longer qualify for.  \n\nI give up.  I am so flustered I can't even make sense of my own thoughts.
