LOS ANGELES - Hundreds of thousands of mostly Hispanic immigrants skipped work and took to the streets Monday, flexing their newfound political muscle in a nationwide boycott that, while far from unified, still succeeded in slowing or shutting many farms, factories, markets and restaurants.

I am asking for all Legal American Citizens to buy a flag and dispaly it at work, on their car and at home. If they can wave the Mexican flag in our country we can display our colors that have provided the freedoms that they seek but are not intitled to.

nobody cares, the illegal aliens will get amesty no matter what we say to our elected officals. our elected officals care more about keeping the illegal aliens happy than they do about preserving the freedoms of the american citizens who elected them into office in the first place.

Fire them! One right they do not have, is to disrupt the flow of business or the economy in this country.

Sad fact is that here in California the elected officials are nonething but a joke. They are not serious about the problems and will assist in the downfall.

You realize that there are immigrants in the US from countries other than Mexico, right?

In fact, you might even notice that if you check out stories on the protests, there are flags from dozens of nations being shown.

In this picture, for example, I count flags from half a dozen non-Latin American countries, just to start (India, Spain, Ireland, etc, etc).

Source article for image.

The politicians are a bunch of a-holes. No one cares about America, except the America that lines their pockets and keeps them in office.

The illegals will get whatever they want. And when they want more, theyll protest again and get it. So much for not negotiating with terrorists.

What disgusts me most is the fact these rallies are extremely target rich environments and no one is taking advantage of that. :|

I think all American citizens should fly the American flag at work, on our cars, and our homes with a banner flying below our flag that reads, "LEGAL IMMIGRANT".

All our leaders care about now is which party gets the 12 million new votes.

I also think that this is a perfect time for the FBI, CIA, ATF, DEA, and POLICE DEPT.
around the United Staes to go to these rallies and arrest everyone, sort them out who is legally here who is not, those who are illegal, deport all of them to Iraq. If they want to be in the US, make them fight for it and earn the right. This would also be a great chance to catch all of the wanted criminals, you know they are stupid enough to attend.

Many people care but importantly not the ones with the gold who make the rules. There has been a trend in American the last 25-30 years to exclude social considerations from economic policy decision from everything from tax policy to labor laws government economic policy has been made chiefly in response to a single objectively determinable factor: cash flow to the top. Cheap labor from the virtually limitless third world supply, legal or not, is another example of this trend. And it's of course why immigration laws are rarley enforced and investigated and why a "guest worker" program (who never has to leave) will pass.

You can damn well bet I would if I was a Sheriff, DEA agent, CIA agent, ATF agent, INS agent or DHS agent.
But seeing as I dont work in any official capacity in law enforement of any type theres not much I can do.

And you realize that the overwhelming majority of ILLEGAL immigrants are from MEXICO, right? We're talking about ILLEGAL immigrants. Stop pretending there isn't a difference.

The idea that a group of people, no matter their race, religion, or sex, can use OUR constitutional right to peaceful protest....and be here illegally....is just flabbergasting. I, for one, am appauled.

It's like an invading army just took over our streets and our "leaders" are allowing them to do it. Hell, our "leaders" are HELPING them do it!

Flabbergasted and appauled is right.

The question is: How many of the protestors are ILLEGALS?

sad day in american history. My buddy who is hispanic and works at a big factory got multiple death threats from other workers because he planned and did goto work today.

he says "I have a responsibility to show up to work and do my job. Why would I put that in jeapardy over people who are breaking the law."

His parents legally immigrated here from mexico.

Do you not watch the news? A good percentage are. And does it really matter?
