They are going to accomplish two things:  Prove exactly how irrelevant and insignificant illegal immigration is to our society and to the economy, and will wake up the slipping giant that is middle America.  This is a hugely ill-conceived idea.  The leaders of LULAC/MeCHA/Aztlan should be jailed just for ill-serving the ignorant poor people they are hurting.\n\nMy plans?  Work, my friend.  Someone's got to pay the taxes that give illegal immigrants free education, healthcare, school lunches, food stamps, subsidized housing, college tuition, oh, and I almost forgot, the ability to help them free up some cash to Moneygram back to Mexico.

I'm going to work.  I think I might wear red,white and blue.  And if anyone blocks an entrance to anyplace in town,  I'll be the first one there trying to get in.  Let's make sure all the entrances everywhere are not being blocked by pro-illegals.  If they're not open, then we're just going to have to make them open.  And if they want to attack us for asserting OUR rights as CITIZENS,then bring it on.\n\nAnti-illegals:  Don't start the fights, but walk through blockades, AND VIDEOTAPE EVERYTHING.

I agree that we should do something -- but boycotting Mexican or Tex-Mex restaurants -- Nah. We should do something, though to show that we are a much larger group than those who protested on May 1. Generally, we are all too civilized to go marching in the streets unless we really had to. \n\nLet's try this: Pick a number of fast food restaurants and Chain Stores (Grocery, or drug, etc...) and say for the month of May we will boycott these places....then for the month of June we will go to those stores and boycott the ones we bought from in May. In doing this, we won't hurt the economy as a whole, and the businesses will have to take turns getting our money, but won't go out of business in a month, but we will still show that we, the legal residents and citizens of the United States of America are the ones to listen to, not a bunch of whining illegals and their sympathizers who hate the U.S.A.

There are sometimes festivals on/for Cinco de Mayo.  The literal translation is 5th of May.  It is one of Mexico's independence days (I believe they celebrate two).

Mexicans have different types of food. Some of their food is popular in the United States! Such as tacos, salsa, and borritos. Some other foods they have are: Comida Corrida, Chilles, Enchiladas (tortillas), and Frijoles (Beans).\n\nOn January 1st they celebrate Nuevo Ano, which is New Years day. On Feb. 24 they celebrate Dia de la Bandera which is Flag Day. May first they have Primero de Mayo which is Labour day, May 10th is Dia de la Madre (Mothers day), Sept. 16th Dia de la Independencia (Independance day), October 12   Día de la Raza (Columbus day), and our favorite December 24th Navidad which is Christmas.\n\n[Those are just some of the holidays they celebrate]\n\nFor any other information on this you can go to the sites under my sources.

The May 1st's protest were about the bill that congress is trying to pass about making it illegal to be in the US illegally. Thousands of Mexican protesters joined rallies around the country, even though the effects of the protest have not been seen yet. There have been many of the protest agianst this bill done in the recent months.

The floodgates will open.  We think we have it bad now?  Every able bodied man and woman from every impoverished hell hole in the world will be stowing away on frieghters bound for Mexico or Canada and cross the border hoping they will be made a citizen that way.  Not to mention the increas in Mexicans crossing to fill those low paying jobs that the newly legalized Mexican will no longer do for cheap wages.

The 5th of May is not Mexican Independence Day, but it should be!  And Cinco de Mayo is not an American holiday, but it should be.  Mexico declared its independence from mother Spain on midnight, the 15th of September, 1810.  And it took 11 years before the first Spanish soldiers were told and forced to leave Mexico. \n\nSo, why Cinco de Mayo?  And why should Americans savor this day as well?  Because 4,000 Mexican soldiers smashed the French and traitor Mexican army of 8,000 at Puebla, Mexico, 100 miles east of Mexico City on the morning of May 5, 1862. \n\nThe French had landed in Mexico (along with Spanish and English troops) five months earlier on the pretext of collecting Mexican debts from the newly elected government of democratic President (and Indian) Benito Juarez.  The English and Spanish quickly made deals and left.  The French, however, had different ideas. \n\nUnder Emperor Napoleon III, who detested the United States, the French came to stay.  They brought a Hapsburg prince with them to rule the new Mexican empire.  His name was Maximilian; his wife, Carolota.  Napoleon's French Army had not been defeated in 50 years, and it invaded Mexico with the finest modern equipment and with a newly reconstituted Foreign Legion.  The French were not afraid of anyone, especially since the United States was embroiled in its own Civil War. \n\nThe French Army left the port of Vera Cruz to attack Mexico City to the west, as the French assumed that the Mexicans would give up should their capital fall to the enemy -- as European countries traditionally did. \n\nUnder the command of Texas-born General Zaragosa, (and the cavalry under the command of Colonel Porfirio Diaz, later to be Mexico's president and dictator), the Mexicans awaited.  Brightly dressed French Dragoons led the enemy columns.  The Mexican Army was less stylish. \n\nGeneral Zaragosa ordered Colonel Diaz to take his cavalry, the best in the world, out to the French flanks.  In response, the French did a most stupid thing; they sent their cavalry off to chase Diaz and his men, who proceeded to butcher them.  The remaining French infantrymen charged the Mexican defenders through sloppy mud from a thunderstorm and through hundreds of head of stampeding cattle stirred up by Indians armed only with machetes. \n\nWhen the battle was over, many French were killed or wounded and their cavalry was being chased by Diaz' superb horsemen miles away.  The Mexicans had won a great victory that kept Napoleon III from supplying the confederate rebels for another year, allowing the United States to build the greatest army the world had ever seen.  This grand army smashed the Confederates at Gettysburg just 14 months after the battle of Puebla, essentially ending the Civil War. \n\nUnion forces were then rushed to the Texas/Mexican border under General Phil Sheridan, who made sure that the Mexicans got all the weapons and ammunition they needed to expel the French.  American soldiers were discharged with their uniforms and rifles if they promised to join the Mexican Army to fight the French.  The American Legion of Honor marched in the Victory Parade in Mexico, City. \n\nIt might be a historical stretch to credit the survival of the United States to those brave 4,000 Mexicans who faced an army twice as large in 1862.  But who knows? \n\nIn gratitude, thousands of Mexicans crossed the border after Pearl Harbor to join the U.S. Armed Forces.  As recently as the Persian Gulf War, Mexicans flooded American consulates with phone calls, trying to join up and fight another war for America. \n\nMexicans, you see, never forget who their friends are, and neither do Americans.  That's why Cinco de Mayo is such a party -- A party that celebrates freedom and liberty.  There are two ideals which Mexicans and Americans have fought shoulder to shoulder to protect, ever since the 5th of May, 1862.

What should we do...?  SIMPLE. \n\nBlack people will go back to Africa, and the White people will go back to Europe, same for the Asians back to Asia, and GIVE THIS LAND BACK TO THE INDIANS. \n\nIf that is not the case, THAN WHY does it bother you to see a Mexican coming in?
