THE GREAT 'AMERICAN' BOYCOTT of 2006
Um, excuse me.... WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY TO 'DEMAND' AMNESTY? Amnesty is a gift, not a right.
Such a massive turnout could make for the largest protests since the civil rights era of the 1960s, though not all Latinos were comfortable with such militancy, fearing a backlash in Middle America.
"Middle America"??? How about the rest of this country, which is growing sick and tired of having 'demands' heaped upon it by people who are technically, um, lawbreakers.
"There will be 2 to 3 million people hitting the streets in Los Angeles alone. We're going to close down Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Tucson, Phoenix, Fresno," said Jorge Rodriguez, a union official who helped organize earlier rallies credited with rattling Congress as it weighs the issue.
You close down our cities, guy, go right ahead. You're already starting to lose this public relations war. This will be a disaster for you. I ought to go to this rally and hand out Mexican, Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Salvidorian flags. Maybe a few Che Guevarra flags will add to your image....After all, it wasn't by coincidence that you chose the grand communist holiday for the date of your march.
Immigration has split Congress, the Republican Party and public opinion. Conservatives want the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants returned to Mexico and a fence built along the border. Others, including President George W. Bush, want a guest-worker program and a path to citizenship. Most agree some reform is needed to stem the flow of poor to the world's biggest economy.
The real issue here is politics. Niether the Republicans nor the Democrats give a damn about the will of the public, which is strongly against amnesty and strongly for ending this flood of illegals.
Bush's goal is twofold: 1) to continue the cheap supply of undocumented labor for big business here in America; and 2) to not 'alienate' an ethnic group which might one day outpopulate the White vote. Of course, this is a self-fulfilling prophecy since, if we don't try to stop illegal immigration, Mexicans will outnumber everyone else.
As for the Dems, all they can think about is the huge population of new Democrat voters they stand to inherit. The Dems have forsaken their labor union backers, and have made a complete mockery of their so called opposition to 'outsourcing'. After all, why would you need to send work to the third world when you can bring the third world here?
"We want full amnesty, full legalization for anybody who is here (illegally)," Rodriguez said. "That is the message that is going to be played out across the country on May 1."
What kind of person enters his neighbor's house uninvited, sits at his neighbor's dinner table, and then demands to be made part of his neighbor's family??
The issue here is not immigration or Hispanics (though the many of this march's organizers would like to turn this into an issue of 'racism' or xenophobia); rather, the issue is whether the United States is still a soverign country, since soverign countries by definition have the right to control who is a citizen and who is not. Illegal immigration is fast becoming a direct challenge to our national integrity.
Organizers have timed the action for May Day, a date when workers around the world often march for improved conditions, and have strong support from big labor and the Roman Catholic church.
In other words, extreme atheist Hispanic leftists have organized this protest to coencide with a Marxist holiday. The Catholic church is such a bunch of fucking dopes sometimes.
They vow that America's major cities will grind to a halt and its economy will stagger as Latinos walk off their jobs and skip school.
Yeah, skip school so you can be a grass cutter or chicken processing plant worker like your mother or father. Does anyone else see the irony in that Americans have been gracious enough to pay for illegals and their kids to go to school yet they intend to hurt us by walking out of class??? Here's an idea- walk out of class and straight back to Mexico and go to school there. How obnoxious!
Besides, herein lies an opportunity: If all illegals walk of their jobs Monday and its no big deal, then we know their impact on the economy is overstated.
In California on Thursday, the state senate passed a resolution recognizing "The Great American Boycott of 2006," saying it would educate the United States about the contributions made by immigrants. The measure passed 24-13 along party lines with dissenting Republicans arguing that it sanctioned lawbreaking and encouraged children to skip school.
Note how the California legislature's resolution refers to 'immigrants' and not 'illegal immigrants'. Tell me, just who is against legal immigration?
Teachers' unions in major cities have said children should not be punished for walking out of class. Los Angeles school officials said principals had been told that they should allow students to leave but walk with them to help keep order. In Chicago, Catholic priests have helped organize protests, sending information to all 375 parishes in the archdiocese.
I wonder- will the illegals boycott using the hospital emergency rooms as their primary care facilities when they get sick? That's it, California, bend over and spread 'em.
CRITICS CHARGE INTIMIDATION
Critics accuse pro-immigrant leaders of bullying Congress and stirring up uninformed young Latinos by telling them that their parents were in imminent danger of being deported.
Um, you mean pro ILLEGAL immigrant leaders, don't you? These people wouldn't use intimidation and exaggeration, would they?
"It's intimidation when a million people march down main streets in our major cities under the Mexican flag," said Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minuteman volunteer border patrol group. "This will backfire," he said.
We think so too.
Some Latinos have also expressed concerns that the boycott and marches could stir up anti-immigrant sentiment.
Yep. Sadly, that's where this is headed.
Cardinal Roger Mahony of the Los Angeles archdiocese, an outspoken champion of immigrant rights, has lobbied against a walkout. "Go to work, go to school, and then join thousands of us at a major rally afterward," Mahony said.
The Catholic Church needs to stop playing politics. It is worried that the new wave of illegal immigrants are turning to evangelical and protestant churches, so now its attempting to recast itself as champion of the Mexicans. Guess what- over the last 2,000 years, every time the Church becomes too involved in worldly politics the result is a disaster...or does anyone need to be reminded of indulgences and the protestant revolt?
And Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who has long fought for immigrant rights, has said he expects protesters to be "lawful and respectful" and children to stay in school.
You mean "who has long fought for illegal immigrant amnesty", dont you?
In Washington on Thursday, immigrant-rights activists brushed off talk of a backlash.
"This is going to be really big. We're going to have millions of people," said Juan Jose Gutierrez, director of the Latino Movement USA. "We are not concerned at all. We believe it's possible for Congress to get the message that the time to act is now."
Translation: "We don't give a flying fuck what the American public thinks because we know that Congress will not act to stop us. We have found an issue that unites people who speak Spanish or Portuguese (that aren't from Spain or Portugal) into an artificial racial victim group and we stand to benefit from it, since we are the group of Washington lobbyists who have organized this show of force. Dis country is like a great big pussy, just waiting to get fucked"
