If the immigrants all protest on one day, will INS use it as a sting operation to easily round them up?

the INS should solve the problem with a hail of machine gun fire...

Doubt it.  We'll have to "put on a show of force" with Iran before long, and all the little illegal Mexicans can carry on with whatever the hell they were doing.

how can there be so much hate in one group of people. There may have been a group deportation or mass but not to the extent of the amount of people we a re talking about now. It won't happen it can't happen the amount of money you all a re whining about it costing you in illegal support will continue to come out of your pocket even if there were no illegal aliens. Why? because the government needs the money that money has been decided or the amount and when that is capped out there will be another issue brought up in Congress's next episode of complaints.

with out a doubt a lot of the border crossers would. when The U.S.A.   takes non Americans for the millitary they automaticly get citizenship it has happened before. By the way I live here in Arizona. I think we are about to see something come out of this marching protest heck even the School kids are doing it. I bet you Arizona is going to be more than just Hot this summer

Im not sure of everything. but I do think that if the owner KNOWS tehre illegal but hires them any way jsut to make more money (pay immigrants less) then they have a pretty big fine---just not enough to stop them from hirining illigal immigrant.\nagain I dont know all my facts---this is just what I rember from school\n\n\n\n\n~shellybell~

No, the would just find another way. The way to stop them is to take away their jobs here. Arrest those that hire them, they are scum bags any way, and put them in jail make them pay huge fines and that will stop the flow. NO JOBS = NO illegal immigration.

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.

I sure hope they do if this happens. Illegals should be deported, not given amnesty.

As long as the persons involved in the protest break no law, what can a LEO do? Local law enforcement has no jurisdiction over illegal immigrants if they commit no crime. They can only notify Border Patrol or INS and hope that they step in. We have a trailer park in my jurisdiction filled with illegals that we can't do a doggone thing about. We've called INS several times to no avail. The presence of an illegal alien is a crime punishable only by federal agencys. (You must be from up north)

Absolutely.  There MUST be a debate between the "ins" and the "outs" (those IN power versus those OUT of power.)  It is the job of the INS to get away with as much monkey business as possible and it is the job of the OUTS to act as the watchdogs of the INS.  EVERY political party tries to get away with monkey business.  EVERYONE.  Of course there can be lesser parties but their impact is often to act as a spoiler for the two major parties (eg. 1912, 1948, 1968, 2000 elections)

I agree.Maybe instead of marching in the streets they should have all showed up at INS and asked for permanent resident status or citizenship.Now that would have been a demonstration.

Yes, if for nothing else to help the people there. I dont believe it can happen in one term, but I really hope that it will happen.

Yes it's supposed to be accross the nation . All imigrant workers will not go to work and refrain from purchasing anything on this day as a demonstration of their communal economic power.

Turning on the news every day to see another mexican protesting when they arnt even registered to be here and the fact if INS did a raid on those protests it would be are fault does this mean i can go into mexico and hold up a sign saying keep your illegal people and make thier news every day? and the fact that they would rather make it legal as oposed to inforcing laws that are made to keep america safe out of 11 million illegal imigrants what if 2 are terrorists we just make them US citizens even though the people who have worked so hard for years to legally become US citizens

First if the INS has not hunted anyone down up to this point for 30 years, I doubt they will start in 3 years.\n\nIt offeres people a benifit to do illegal activities.\n\nAnd in the end, it does not stop the ones comming in, but would give more reasons to come in during the next few years to try and be legal.\n\nAnd also most of the illegals will not trust the government to try to become legal.  The ones now that have tried to become legal are the only ones being deported

On March 17, 2006, an estimated 25,000 illegals from Ireland marched boldly in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in NY without fear of any enforcement of our immigration laws. I told my friends at the time: this unchecked in-your-face, "we demand respect" display by illegals will embolden them to demand they be given a free pass and when that doesn't happen, it will reach the point of violence.\n\nOn March 24, 2006, hundreds of high school students in LA walked out of their classrooms to protest the newest piece of completely unnecessary immigration legislation by the incompetent fools in Congress. Within hours 15,000 criminals (illegals) were marching in Phoenix and roughly 10,000 in Georgia.\n(Seems Fairly ORGANIZED)\n On March 25, 2006, waving their Mexican flags chanting the same worn out "racist" garbage and demanding their "rights" 50,000 of these criminals marched in Denver, thousands in North Carolina and here in Sacramento. All because the House of Representatives has passed legislation that would make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally, impose new penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants and erect fences along one-third of the U.S.-Mexican border.\n\n(AGAIN Seems Fairly ORGANIZED On A NATIONAL Level)\n \nThe counterfeit Senate is to begin their bickering on March 28, 2006.\n\nOur economy will not fail by rounding up illegals and deporting them. \nOn ABC This Week, March 26, 2006, weasel Arlen Specter, hauled out the other big lie, "We have created a need for these workers who will do the work Americans won't." \n\nBull. Once we begin to deport these criminals, Americans \nwill step in and do the jobs - jobs that have been taken away from them because employers have turned a blind eye to the law and are looking for cheap labor. As for Arlen Specter: why is he still sitting on his backside doing nothing while banks in this country are knowingly and aggressively violating federal law by giving home mortgages to criminals (illegals). Congress and the Department of Justice are simply ignoring this outrage, yet Specter blathers on the stupid tube that these 15 million plus criminals should be given a free pass.\n\n According to Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.), who is head of the \nCongressional Immigration Reform Caucus, \n  \n"Massive immigration of low-skilled, low-wage workers ... \ndepresses wage rates for people who are at the low economic end of the scale. ... \nThe overall effect will be the decline of the living standard of every American, \nor most Americans."\n\nIllegal immigration cuts into the wages of American workers. \nAccording to Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.), who is head of the \nCongressional Immigration Reform Caucus, \n  \n"Massive immigration of low-skilled, low-wage workers ... \ndepresses wage rates for people who are at the low economic end of the scale. ... \nThe overall effect will be the decline of the living standard of every American, \nor most Americans."\n\nAccording to TNRIP, the financial cost of this foreign invasion to U.S. taxpayers \nis staggering! Here is a break down of the annual costs: \n\nEducation: $22.5 billion \nBi-lingual Education: $3.3 billion \nAFDC: $2.4 billion \nSSI: $2.9 billion \nSocial Security: $24.8 billion \nHousing Assistance: $2.6 billion \nCriminal Justice: $2.6 billion \nJobs Lost by Americans: $10.8 billion \nOther Programs: $51.4 billion \nFood Stamps: $7 billion \nHealth Care: $1.4 billion \n\nTom Tancredo was the other guest on the aforementioned show and he said it right: We don't need any new laws, enforce the immigration laws that are already on the books.\n\nThis IS what's coming right to your neighborhood: One of these days in the near future, these millions of illegals are going to become berserkers. It is the intention of Mexicans to "reclaim" the four border states and merge them back with Mexico and they are willing to do it with violence. These 15 million

Start some kind of anti-American protest and they'll happen along eventually I'm sure...
