Do you support the activities organized for the 'Day Without Immigrants'? * 75051 responses

Yes, as long as there's no violence it's a peaceful way to show how vital immigrants are to the United States.
30%

No, it's disruptive to the economy, and any illegal immigrants at those events should be rounded up and sent home.
70%

I voted "no". Especially if they're going to do this once a month.

"Subject: "Day Without An Immigrant"


May 1st is the planned "Day Without an Immigrant" boycott by illegal
immigrants here in the United States. They plan on boycotting work,
thus showing how many menial jobs they provide cheap labor for. They
plan on boycotting our stores, thus showing how much money they
provide for the economy. I am fine with this tactic.

I have one suggestion: Please boycott our hospitals, schools, jails,
and highways, too!

Let us see what our health care system would be like without an
overcrowded emergency room full of illegal immigrants using it as a
free clinic to treat non-emergent ailments. Let us see what it would
be like to have people who the hospital actually expects to pay for
treatment. I wonder if the costs for health insurance would drop.

Let us see what it would be like to reduce the size of our
classrooms. Let us see what it would be like to have to spend
taxpayer dollars to teach in English only. Let us see if our schools
test score averages increase.

Let us see what it would be like to not be victimized by an illegal
immigrant and then have to pay for the incarceration of that illegal
immigrant. The Los Angeles County Jail system would be alleviated of
thousands of inmates. Those incarcerated might actually do 100% of
their sentences rather than the 10% that they have been doing.

Let us see what our highways would be like. Let us see if traffic is
reduced without their presence. Let us see if the number of
unlicensed, uninsured, unqualified motorists drops and the number of
traffic collisions also drops proportionally. Maybe our car insurance
rates would see a decrease as a result.

Maybe the May 1st "Day Without an Immigrant" boycott should be
encouraged so the rest of the citizens can fully appreciate what
benefits and burdens illegal immigration creates.

Also go to www.foxnews.com and www.cnn.com and vote on their polls. We really need to get some people to see what the other 240 million AMERICANS think.

I see the news is reporting that the protestors did not tell the dodge city police they were going to march. Isnt there a law aginst that for the rest of us? Unlawful assembly or some thing like that? At the very least you would think obstructing traffic.

And we cant figure out why these illegals dont understand breaking the law. Its because they are allowed to break the law and nothing happens why they continue to do it.

[K C Muffin]

Well, the city fathers prolly haven't realized that a good part of the population can't read, speak or translate English. So they prolly didn't know they were breakin' the law. 'Sides - they write their own laws, don't they?

[jeezeweeze]
