NO SHOPPING, NO SCHOOL, NO WOR!\nThe boycott will take place on May 1st (Day of the International Solidarity of Workers).\nLabor strikes, No purchases, go out and march. \nSoon they will see the impact immigrants will have. \nProtest the racist HR4437

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!

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!

This is a great question.  I think it would help. It would be a positive move.  I think people would be alot more responsive.  I know I would be.  And I have to tell you, I have been very negative since the boycott.  They need to try to blend in alot more.  That is why we are called the great melting pot.  Love your culture, but if you want to become a citizen of another country, you have to adapt.  People are more accepting of others if they aren't making demands all the time.  These Latino power leaders, in my opinion are leading their people down the wrong path.

I think things have become much more tense since the Immigration March a month ago.  The immigrants see the move to deport illegals as insulting--rightly or wrongly--and the whites are resentful of the demands made on them.  Things will get worse.  But the short answer is that they don't want to go back because they know life will be worse for them if they do.

If it is a short paper with no research requirement, go read the whole wikipedia article on boycott, plus the important links.   \nThere are a lot of recent boycotts that are controversial(Dixie Chicks), a lot of boycotts that changed society(Rosa Parks bus boycott).

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.

female, white, early 40's, 16+ yrs education, 1 child 23 months old, never married, not lesbian or feminist, just avg. modern day woman. In answer 2 your ? Re: students protesting by walking out of school over illegal immigration proposal is the majority of protesters are young, uninformed, needing a cause & somethng 2be a part of, rght/wrng, good/bad  its cool. Its just "A REASON" 2 act out, be defiant, make noise,be a part of & rub shoulders with the "in crowd" & its fun!?!  I understand the illegal immigrants protesting, they dont want 2 go back 2 their country why would they not hoot, hollar, stomp thier feet or do anything & everything possible to stop this proposal going any further. most live on govt aid, free schools, get paid 4 whatever job whenever they choose to work in cash, non reporting income.  the absolute best health care btter or comperable to what the wealthy elite could afford.  Hmmm... yup reread the last sentence b4 this sentence. See you read it rght, any foreign "guest" legal or not in our countrywill be treated & provided the best care possible in the event of sickness, injury, all health related issues they may become inflicted with while on our soil. heres an extreme simple scenario 2 illustrate meaning of that statement;  " a young teenager, or young adult immigrant is behaving in a negligent manner that has the potential "to cause himself" harm &/or injury in a public area. resulting in his loss of a limb either @ the accident or thereafter by emerg. Drs. (No insur.) he isnt denied tx, matter of fact he gets admitted indeft. (NO Insur.) he gets a team of specialists/, phys. thgerapy, & event. fitted, for a prosthetic limb, not one like youd(fully insurd)get frm vfw or wherever if you were injured in the military. nope: our internationalo "guests" get a top of the line newest,best state of the art limb (NO Insur.) & all the after care neededfor as long as it takes to "fully" recover.  Oh! wait theres more, we provide "assistance" (fully pay his living expences) until many years & generations of govt chks still issued some govt pencil pusher happens across his dust ridden file & realizes how many Americans suffered & sacrificed themselves on our own soil over how many years for another person from another country for the sake of what?!? humanity!? equality!? Opportunity!? Did we even know we were part of a govt agency of international affairs & diplomacy. doubt it, but its our American duty, thats "DEMOCRACY"!! No actually thats compliments of the DEMOCRATS  & their LIBERAL philosophy in action!! Tell the young americans who are protesting that part of illegal immigrants  living here & the cost financially & the cost of thier future health needs should they be w/out of lack full insur. coverage should they ever get in the situation  where they couldnt get something they medically needed to live normally or fully as before but an international "guest" of any means in america can & will.

You talk because you don't know what it is to be in their shoes. They sure have rights; they have families here then it becomes a problem. that is why they protest. You talk like this because you need education. Your illiterate. You don't even make sense, just because they don't talk English. Please. R you for real. Just because they don't talk English doesn't mean they cant protest. Go back to school!!!!!!!!!.Some people come here because they need money urgently for their hungry families and school is the last thing they could think off in a situation like this.

There Are 300 Million People In This Nation That Go To School And Work And Shop And Buy Gas And Groceries EVERYDAY\n\nIf 15 Or So Million Of Them Take The Day Off And "BOYCOTT" The Nation, I Dont Think It Will Have Much Impact, If ANY At All\n\nLet Em Boycott For A Day, OR A Week\n\nThis Is AMERICA Not MEXICO\n(Maybe The Wheels Would Fall Off The Wagons THERE, But Not Here)\n\nThey Can Boycott Their ILLEGAL @$$ES All The Way Back To The Border

Gotta watch out for those illegals violating our boundaries!\n\n19 NOV 06, 0228 hrs, GMT.

AMEN!!!!!!\nI hope bananbean is the first one to get deported. I will gladly walk to the port of entry and tell her to Kiss my   *ss!\n\nI said this earlier somewhere, You are exactly correct in your statement. I couldn't move to France and expect the entire country to speak English just because I do. I would have to learn their language to be accepted into their society. So anyone who is determined to live in the U.S. LEGALLY needs to learn the language as well.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday! I told my hubby I bet they WILL buy things, the first of the month is when they get their food stamps! They aren't fooling anyone! This country will be just fine without them! They are more of a drain our economy than anything else!

The media is focused on this issue as a civil rights movement.  I just can't see it and yes I think the media is trying to confuse, or distract us.  With the African American movement, the protests were about making the playing field equal.  But they protested for the right to do everything, they even fought to be seen as equals in patriotism, outshining alot of the majority.  The illegals are disrespectful, demanding and trying to threaten our economy so we'll give in to them.  I think if you're going to protest in America you should at least write your sign in English.  Don't worry though, I think the media may be switching sides.  At least they are here.  Last night they praised an immigrant that fired all of her services that employed mexicans because she didn't know how to tell which ones were legal.  She fought hard to become a citizen and she didn't think anyone should demand special treatment.

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!
