I plan on hitting every drive thru window between work and home, just so I can have my order taken without broken English.

What about you?

I thought I would be affected by this, seeing as I work with contractors who (surprise, surprise) employ mostly mexicans, but sure enough, they all showed up to work.

I guess that whole "feeding your family" thing was more important to them than upholding some trivial principle.

I have to say I noticed a low number if Hispanic type immigrants on the freeway this morning. No sign of the 76 Datsun pickup with leafblowers and rakes hangin off the side, doin 55 in the fast lane.

I'm really likin Day Without Immigrants so far.

Mgo,

You touched on something there. Today is supposed to be a "Day Without Immigrants", so whay are only Hispanic immigrants marching? How come the Asians are not marching? What about the Middle Eastern immigrants? Or even the few illegal European immigrants?

It should be called "A Day without Jose" if you ask me.

Just sayin.

It isn't even that. It's a "Day without Douchebags with Fucked Up Priorities".

All of the weekend coverage and exposure this thing got, and considering how "disruptive" the march/protest is (or isn't) being, this whole thing has a Y2K doomsday, end of the world feel to it. In the end, it's much ado about nothing.

At least until the riots and looting start anyways.

Aren't we all immigrants? or descended from immigrants??

We're all very different people. We're not Watusi, we're not Spartans, we're Americans. With a capital "A", huh? And you know what that means? Do you? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts.

Why yes we are. But I know that my great grandparents did come here from Ireland, and did pass through Ellis Island, which I believe mean's they went through the system then.

These protests are about ILLEGAL immigrants to the US demanding the same
shit that thousands of others have done legally.

And my 4 GREAT workers, Gutamalans, here legally with good green cards, and when I asked them about this protest shit, they muttered something about the "pinchee vattos loco cabasa" .

Now way in hell these guys are giving up $ 110 in wages to fuck off for a day.

I'm not impressed with the political grandstanding that both parties are engaging in on the issue of immigration reform.

Terry in Crapchester · Mon May 01, 2006 6:27 pm

I can honestly say I haven't noticed a difference, other than catching on the news that some protests and counter-protests, neither of which I participated in, were going on.

Of course, around these parts, "Hispanic" usually means Puerto Rican, not Mexican, so I suppose that's to be expected.

I'm driving from hospital to hospital informing all emergency rooms that illegal immigrants are protesting......

I'm reminding them that they should withold all medical treatments as a show of solidarity......

Not a safe situation, but they could have passed around flyers (written in Spanish) with directions to where they can receive more free shit, then grab em one at a time as they come through the door.

Maybe here in Denver the money taxpayers saved from Denver General and Denver Health today will offset the money we had to spend on Police overtime. I digress, I’m sure there were some smart ones that didn’t participate figuring today would be the best day to avoid the long free health care lines.

I've learned my lesson. Starting tomorrow, I'm working on gaining support for the next movement: A Year Without Immigrants.

I had zero traffic going to work. I was able to perform my job the entire day without any negative impact due to no immigrants. I made it home from work in record time. I'm going to the grocery store now because if things are going as planned, I won't have to deal with Maria Conchita Guadalupe Gonzalez and her 7 ill-behaved monsters running rampant in the aisles.

I've learned that, if for just one day, my routine was much easier without immigrants.

I'm am planning on filling out a false address on the Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability form that I will be sending to the DMV for the buyer of an old car my wife sold to some dude on Saturday. She only got the guys name and cash, so WTF, it had February reg. stickers so I know there is no way in hell he will be reregistering it any time soon.

WAR ME for putting another unregistered, unlicensed, and uninsured beaner in an old beater on the road.

Well I'm back from the store and [shock]it appears that the immigrants supported the "don't go to work" part of the deal, but not so much the "don't spend money" side[/shock].

Fuckin place was crawlin with them. And yes, I did leave shopping cart marks on the forehead of one of the aforementioned welfare sappers. Don't get in my fuckin way on a day where you're supposed to be boycottin. Hell don't get in my way on any day, but a day where you're supposed to not be in my way? Puhleeze.

Anyways, it was nice to have my country back for a day. Now I can turn it back over to the majority and get back to life as normal. You know, 5 mile an hour crawls on the 5......having my large #6 with a coke at Mickey D's become a quote "numbera two"......76 Datsuns equipped with leafblowers and rakes.

God Bless Mexico....errrrr....America.

I had zero traffic going to work. Immigrants are brown skinned people and I have no need for them. I made it home from work in record time. I'm going to the grocery store now because if things are going as planned, the Mexicans that picked our fruit and vegetbables should just rot in hell, and then the prices will drop even further.

Thanks for jumpin to my first point of rebuttal.

Luth, come wade daily through the mass amounts of what's under the microscope today (both bodies and ideas) and then let's have a discussion. Due to exposure, I feel I'm too much of an expert on the matter to have a fair and just discussion about the topic.

The more I think about what's going on today, the more I think our government needs to do something about this sooner rather than later. What does this say about the situation if a group of people are in a position to cripple a country because their feelings get hurt when said country starts talking about addressing the problem? A problem which more or less, is the result of an illegal action of coming to our country without going through the proper channels. From what I've seen and read and heard about today's events, it doesn't look as though the "cripple a country" part of that point to ponder came true today (although it does appear they may have crippled their own cause), but the idea or thought of that should grab the attention of our lawmakers.

To have to deal with the inner city african americans and their high crime rate, or to deal with white trash americans and their taxation on the justice and welfare systems and other resources, that is our burden. It is our responsibility because they are our legalized citizens and therefore we are required to address the matter. But to have to tax our resources to support a group of people who come to reside in our country without going through the legal channels? We don't have to accept that and we shouldn't accept that.

This is about color of skin only because people of color make up the majority of the illegal immigrants for which I am required to maneuver around on a constant, daily basis. If it were Germans flowing in by the 10,000s I'd have the same problem, so don't make this about color of skin. It's about an idea that our country, as wonderful of a place as it is (or in some cases, isn't) to live, still requires those that aren't natural citizens to go through a process to gain legal entry into it, and thousands of people are circumventing that process with no recourse.

That's what this is about.

Roofer wrote: That's what this is about.

Actually, what the protests and demonstrations are about, is the HoR bill passed on December 16th that, should it be signed into law, would instantly make all persons here illegally guilty of a felony crime, rather than a civil crime.

Illegals currently have at least some legal rights, such as being able to peaceably assemble and redress the government for a grievance....that of being declared felon's and not even having that basic right anymore.

Before the protests, most people didn't even know the HoR had passed a bill with such draconian measures. It pretty much flew under the radar for two months. Since, there's been quite an outcry against this bill. I've seen polls where 70% of Americans don't think it should be a felony to be here illegally. The House is now doing some serious backpedaling on this fucked up piece of legislation.

Now, I don't necessarily agree that boycotts and walkouts are the best way to get their message across, but get it across they are doing. If thousands of people marching in the streets of most every major city doesn't get some attention, I don't know what will.

And BTW, I doubt that more than 25% of those participating in the demonstrations are here illegally. The pathological knee jerkers like mvscal may think they deserve to be rolled over by tanks, machine gunned,and then bulldozed into the San Andreas fault, but fortunately for everyone, his ilk doesn't make any decisions weightier than deciding whether to call someone he disagrees with a Dumbfuck, a Dipshit, or both. Illegal immigrants are an easy target for hysterical simpletons.

Also, I understand that illegal immigrants create a huge burden on society, especially in places like California, and that something must be done to address this problem. Hell, something needed to be done 20 years ago, but now the pot is boiling over with emotion from both sides.

I still contend and have been saying for some time that the proposed Senate Bill that got waylaid by partisan bickering was a good start towards addressing the problem. If the protests accomplish anything, I hope that it causes the Senate to salvage this bill in some form or another.

Ok, lets hear it. We've watched both sides of the isle argue over it for quite awhile, and yet all the brown skin people you dislike are crossing the border like Edwin Moses in the '76 and '84 Olympics.

My perspective? Oh, probably not much. I can't give you tall stories about life in Mexico, or the death march in their illegal trek to the U.S. All I could recount is some Hispanic traditions...some loyalty to the United States, and some stories that enrich us, as I patrolled some of the shittiest parts of southeast Portland. mvscal, really? For a smart and historical type of guy I can't believe you could fuck up this assessment. How many posts, how many wytched pictures of a pro-conservative stances have I taken? Granted I smacked old Dr. D, as he was some whacko fucking ultra-righty nut job/spammer. He was on my side of the isle but he was one goofy paint eating tard. Did you see me glad handing any of the Libs here either?

But now I really expect to hear more than just an American who lives in the south. You're (Roofer) an expert, so I will wait to hear what you have to say. Your last take was solid and it makes your previous posts look juvenile. None of us here created the problem (at least I hope not), but obviously we have to fix it.
