Simply - BOYCOTT! \n\nI refuse to shop at Walmart. I wont buy gas from any of the Major Oil Companies. Unfortunately, we all need phone service, and in the 80's the feds broke up the phone company monopoloy - but it has rebuilt itself! So, boycott the govt, and dont elect greedy republicans to any position! If no one shopped at Walmart, they wouldnt be making money...

There is controversy. I know someone who had to teach the foreigner who was taking her job what to do. It's rough up here in the Mitten, but how can one protest against something going on overseas when it's easier to protest what's going on at home?\n\nAfter all, we need jobs here NOW. Illegal immigrants are taking away those chances. We also need the jobs overseas, but we can't be immediately affected by them (in terms of, if the owners said they'll come back, they won't be back for months or maybe years.)

Not good. Especially as we believe it is hogwash and lies made up by the media. India remains to us a thrid world country with good cheap labor.

Dang. And I was gonna go to Idaho... Well, if you don't want California in Idaho, move all the good paying jobs that came from California back out of Idaho. But you gotta understand something here. Most of those from Cali going to Ida, and from NY anyway. What're we sposed to do about it anyway?\n\nWell hey, go to Office Depot. They have bumper stickers for your printer. Buy a pack and make all sorts of bizarre bumper stickers.

It would be better to boycott the American businesses who hire illegals.  While you're boycotting, write your local government officials and ask them to enforce the laws by fining these businesses, deporting the workers, and not taking bribes from lobbyists!

Kick them all out then sort out the good from the bad. Confiscate their belongings to pay for deportation and border protection. Even the children of illegals make then apply for citizenship. Go after employers who hire them.

It's not unfair that people in India see you wasting your money.  It's unfair that we haven't gotten our global act together sooner and provided more opportunities for people all over the world to make a living for their families.\nI like your attitude about it all though- most people complain that their jobs are being outsourced to India.  You're the first person I've ever heard of who looked at it from the Indian's perspective.

wow are you angry some illegal alien took your crop picking job? \n\nthe fact is that people will go where it's easier to make money.. it happened when the brits were colonizing, it happened when they discovered america, it happened when people moved out of the farms into cities.. thats just the way people migration works, and it wont stop until there is no more difference.. \n\nSo.. you want to stop "illegal" immigration, you might want to help the Mexican economy go up, instead of the American economy going down

No.  The illegal alien problem can be handled by SEVERELY penalizing employers, and diligently finding those employers.\n\nThis will both eliminate the influx of illegals and will cause the giant mass of illegals to go back to their country to seek employment.

Visited the USA recently and I thought I was in Mexico. You guys have problem allright.Mexico is exporting it's poverty to the US. No politician wants to come out and say anything against them fearing their re-election. Stop shopping where you know they are employed. As for them taking US jobs I don't think there is a line up for aspiring gardeners or fruit pickers. Are they taking jobs away from qualified people? Stop supporting  businesses who employ them. Only way!!!!

Who do you think did all those jobs before illegals invaded our country?  Maybe those jobs didn't exist, or maybe farmers let their produce rot?  Your argument is illogical and self serving.  The fact of the matter is that employers want these illegals here because they can take advantage of them, and the government who looks out for the interests of the business elite, supports them in this.  They try to play Americans for fools by sending troops to the border and suggesting a guest worker program, which is just a way to ensure a permanent source of cheap labor for these greedy employers.  Illegals will work for wages that no American will work for, and as a result they take jobs from Americans and drive wages down for everybody else.  It's obvious you don't know what you are talking about when you bring up something like doing construction work for $7.50 an hour.  Construction work, just so you know, was a good job that paid a lot more than $7.50 an hour and that employed many Americans, until illegals started swarming our country and doing doing construction for shit wages.  A lot of Americans lost good paying jobs, and contruction companies increased their profits by grotesque proportions.  So don't fool yourself by thinking that illegals are essential.  The only reason they are allowed to come and stay is because they increase the profits of the business elite.  But this can only go on for so long.  At some point, Americans will get so sick of being screwed that these businessmen and their politician buddies who are selling out their counrtry for profits, will have no choice but to stop hiring illegals altogether, and these illegals will have no choice but to go home where they belong.

Will and has worked.The trick is not to have loopholes in it so that it is abused especially by foreign workers who will try to take away middle income jobs.

I think the skip day is over hyped.  I think that the day will come and go and other than news coverage of protesters, we won't even notice.  ALL illegals should go home.  I don't care if they are from Ireland, India, Siam, or Mexico.  If you are here illegally you have cut in line in front of someone who wants to come here the legal way.  NO WAY should anyone be rewarded for doing that.  Rewarding illegal immigration will only encourage more illegal immigration.  The ones legalized will no longer work for cheap wages which will open the door for new illegals, who will expect the same, "citizen status" in time.
