May 1st the illegal Mexicans and their supporters are going to boycott all American business even the ones they themselves work for. Students, that are just taking up desk space in class,aren't going to school. \n\nThen on May 5th they want us to celebrate with them "Cino de Mayo", victory over the French Army 1862.\nWhat part of stupid are they? Boycott Boycott Boycott. \n\nI have a American/ Mexican friend who owns a Mexican Resturant, she is closing oN May 5th and 6th. Has already put up signs with a message why and her patons and local business support her.

I don't recall being expeceted to celebrate Cinco de Mayo...in fact in most of Mexico it's not celebrated.  It's basically another American excuse to get drunk and stupid, much like St. Patrick's Day has become.  Among my Mexican friends, the only one who is "celebrating" the fifth is doing so by spending the evening bussing tables at a Mexican restaurant to accomodate the influx of Corona-drinking, salsa spilling gringos.  I'll be spending Cinco anywhere BUT in a Mexican restaurant.

Youre Exactly Right\nThats Why This Hairbrained Scheme Is POINTLESS\n\nThe ILLEGAL Camp Continues To Lay Claim That WERE All Racists - When In Fact This Entire "BOYCOTT/PROTEST" Has Been Organized By, And Will Consist Of RACISTS Attempting To STRONGARM Our Government Into Granting Amnesty To ILLEGAL Aliens In Our Country\n\nThe Only Result To Come From This Endorsement \nCondoning ANARCHY And The Breaking Of Our Laws\nWill Be Violence In The Streets\n\nPeople Will Get Hurt That Day For NO REASON

I just saw it and am disgusted.  How dare they try to justify their causes with such antics.  They are illegals and should not even have the right to protest to Americans in their own lawful land.  Congress should be ashamed to have let this happen.  Why should I as a taxpayer be subjected to such disrespect?  I do however feel its a hopeless case at this point.  Something should have been done long ago.  The problem has gotten way out of hand and I do not see a resolution happening anytime soon.  I live in Los Angeles and everything is in spanish, my TIVO even has started recording some daytime soap on the 'Univision' spanish network.

The Mexicans are wanting to take over parts of the United States in order to claim it for their own country. Their strategy is to overwhelm our country's resources through massive illegal immigration, and they are winning. Their alligiance is to Mexico. They do not even want United States citizenship. They are demonstrating for amnesty just to keep from being punished for their crimes, not to get citizenship.\n\nA small sampling of the movement to Mexicanize America is in the following links. An example is in this quoted passage:\n\n"Even as organizers urged marchers to display U.S. flags, the theme of reclaiming "stolen" land remained strong. One popular banner read: "If you think I'm illegal because I'm a Mexican, learn the true history because I'm in my homeland." \n\n"We need to change direction," said Jose Lugo, an instructor in Ethnic Studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder at a campus march last week. "And by allowing these 50,000, 50 million [immigrants] to come in here, we can do that." \n\nThe revolutionary tone has surprised even longtime immigration watchers such as Ira Mehlman, the Los Angeles-based spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform. \n\n"I've always been skeptical myself about this [reconquista], but what I've seen over the last few weeks leads me to believe that there's more there than I thought," Mr. Mehlman said. \n\n"You're seeing people marching with Mexican flags chanting, 'This is our country.' I don't think that we can dismiss this as youthful exuberance or a bunch of hotheads," he said. "

If you look at the statistics, the majority of illegal immigrants who are putting a strain on our reasources are Hispanics....and they are the first to protest that they aren't "getting enough rights."  Pathetic.  The majority make no effort to learn our language or our culture, they have been tearing down our flag and replacing it with theirs, and they are DOWNRIGHT RUDE.  Canada has always been a gret resource for the United States and the people who come from up north generally are friendly and make an effort to embrace our country.  On another note.....\n\nWe are closing our borders to terrorists and illegal immigrants on July 4th, and everyone everywhere can help! If you are interested or would like to participate, please visit our website for more information: http://www.getmycountryback.com... \n\nPlease help spread the word, tell a friend!!!!!!

FANTASTIC POST!\n\nI have heard of it and found it online after attending the May I, Illegal Rally.  The illegals were chanting AZTLAN for about five minutes and, after discovering what THAT meant, we continued to research and to our horror, realized that this is a MEXICAN INVASION!\n\nTherefore, no amnesty for anyone.

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.

Hell, we got outside help in fighting the English for our independence.  One of my ancestors was a German with money who came over during the revolution and fought against the English.  After the war of independence, he decided to stay and married one of my direct ancestors who's family had already been in the colonies for 100 years. Sorry, I digress!\n\nSo you see, this help thing can work both ways. If you want off on Cinco De Mayo, you first have to get a Mexican to acknowledge they got help from the US against the French.   Do you think that's possible??? \n\nBoy, these Mexicans who still have jobs must have money to burn, if they can afford to take off work two days in one week, so they can attend their Mexican holidays.  I wonder if they will be waving the American flag to show their loyalty to the US on that day???

In Mexico they should be having a big party. Cinco de mayo is the 5th of May and is the day they celebrate their independence from Spain. (or France, haha) \nWe in the U.S. celebrate it because 40% of our population is Spanish/Mexican. and yes, Americans love to drink so we join in to drink and eat mexican food.

For alotta people, it's just an excuse to get wasted and throw a party. The beer companies REALLY push the celebration of Cinco De Mayo. Almost every Latino supermarket will have tons of posters and other promotional crap they get from Budweiser, Corona, etc plastered all over their stores. I really don't think it holds alotta signifigance to many Mexican-Americans. That's just my opinion tho.

How Do I Feel About The Protests??\nIll TELL You How I Feel\n\nThe 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\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\nWe cannot allow illegals to remain in this country because it sends the very clear message to anyone from any country: Go ahead and enter the U.S. illegally. Nothing will be done to you. The stupid Americans will pay to feed you, clothe you, educate your kids and pay for your medical care while they themselves are forced to go without because they can't afford health insurance because their tax dollars are paying for you! Ha, Ha! Go ahead and enter the U.S. illegally If you're a terrorist, no problem, go ahead and build your cells, blow up buildings and schools. Nothing will happen because American politicians are too cowardly to repel this invasion and deport the millions of illegals aready here while the illegals rub their lawlessness in our faces.\n\nYou Wish To Become AMERICANS With The RIGHTS Of AMERICANS .. \nYet Many Of You REFUSE To SPEAK My/Our LANGUAGE \nAnd REFUSE To Honor My/Our Flag \nWell I REFUSE To Let YOU Continue To Burden My Pocket \nAnd The Pockets Of My "PROUD TO BE AMERICAN" BROTHERS \nOf ANY DESCENT\n\nYou Call It INTOLERANCE???Call It What YOU Wanna Call It-\nIf It Makes YOU Feel Better-\nCall It RACISM,\nIf It Makes YOU Feel Better\nCall Me A NAZI\nIf It Makes YOU Feel Better\nCall It WHATHEF**KEVERYOU Wanna Call It-\nAs Long As It Makes YOU Feel Better\n\nWhats Gonna Make ME Feel Better???\n\nI Pledge ALLEGIENCE To The FLAG\nOf The UNITED STATES Of AMERICA\n\nI KNOW Im Not A Racist\nI KNOW Im Not A Nazi\nI KNOW Im A PROUD AMERICAN CITIZEN \nAnd A HARDWORKING TAXPAYER\nAnd A MILITARY VETERAN\nAnd NOTHING YOU Call ME Is Gonna Change That\n\nYou DISGRACE My NATION???-\nYou DISGRACE My FLAG???-\nNO SOUP FOR YOU!!!\n\nThe LATIN AMERICAN COMMUNITY Brought This Upon Themselves\n\nPUSH HR 4437 AS IS-NO AMNESTY\n\nDEPORT ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS UPON DISCOVERY\n\nHasta La Vista BAYBEE--LeEmigre Is ON THE WAY

Do people see the "ILLEGAL" in front of immigrants? I am so tied of people saying “your ancient were immigrants" HELLO we did not have a law on illegal immigrants during those times. \n\nAnd why are you throwing that this way I'm an African American my ancient were drag over here, and their kids had to fight for rights that should have been giving to them on birth.  So when they went to the streets for Civil Rights it was because of the 13th amendment. Not because they jump over a wall. \n\n\nAnd to say that they work the jobs American don't want PLEASE TAKE THAT S%%# some where else the fact of the matter is that they work jobs for less, so that they can get them illegal. If you saw the news illegal immigrants hold waiter jobs (Americans work them), construction jobs (Americans work them), cashier (American work them), housekeeping (Americans work them), warehouse jobs (Americans work them), and etc. I can go on but the whole thing about the jobs are that illegal immigrants will work for less pay then an legal citizen will so a business will hire them first for the low pay. Many Americans who are low in education try for these jobs and are turned away because it is a bid on the lowest paid worker.\n\nBut if you don’t agree with me I don’t care because in November the Congress will feel my words, on my vote.

They are lame excuses that pro illegal immigrant supporters have. I always wonder if they have toilets in Mexico or any other country for the pro illegal supporters to be using that as a definitive response. Do they not have lawns, restaurants or toilets? Why can't Mexico and other countries improve their economy for its people? It is not hard to clean up after yourself, so those responses are, well, dumb.

Protest by writing letters to congress and stop buying Purdue chicken.  They have so many illegals there they had to shut down on May 1st.\n\nWe need a list of all companies that were forced to shut down on May 1st and then we need to stop buying their products.  Hit them where it hurts.

Some EDUCATIONAL Reading For Citizens\n\nhttp://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd185.htm\n\nI have friends who live in the Phoenix area that speak fluent Spanish. Over the weekend before the big marches on April 10, 2006, Spanish speaking radio was sending this message: "Hide what's in your heart today. We know in your heart your allegiance is to Mexico, but today use your head. Americans were upset about Mexican flags and our show of solidarity for reconquista. Now we must wear white shirts and wave the American flags being handed out. It will be difficult because we know in your heart your love is for Mexico, but hide it today."

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
