Mexican Boycott on Mayday (May 1st)

[WATSON-ENA]

You obviously know nothing about our economy, it's funny, lol!!! The poor are poor because the rich are rich. Take a damn economics class, you're not on my level..

HAHA..if you want to talk about economics..let's talk.you say the poor are poor because the rich are rich, why would you want to help them?.. it would not balance out if the poor become rich now would it?..besides, some poor and homeless individual like that life style for the reason that the government supports them. They do not need to work in order to eat..read and look around buddy..put it this way, I know my facts and you know yours

Who would ever think that "Americans" would be supporting immigration? You people should be arrested for treason! I'm done, there are no sensable people debating this (besides 3xkrzy). Most of you are biased because you are either Latin or your mom is an immigrant or something, you guys have no intellectual basis to debate this. You're running off of pure emotion and most of what ya'll are saying is quite frankly, bull shit. This is liberalism at its finest. So i'm gonna leave this one alone, intellectualism will never win against emotion.

This is a “gangsta” rap message board, wtf do you expect? If you don’t like “liberalism” or leftist views, I suggest you find a nice conservative forum on which you can post your Bill O’Reilly views.

Who would ever think that "Americans" would be supporting immigration?

Considering that this country was founded on immigration it is not shocking at all.

You people should be arrested for treason!

And you should be executed for your ignorance.

Most of you are biased because you are either Latin or your mom is an immigrant or something

<---------white, both mother & father were born in the US.

you guys have no intellectual basis to debate this

Says the man that has no clue what a paragraph break means.

I said that they are hurting the economy by working here and spending there.

Really? It appears you are the one that is in need of an economics class.

Millions of immigrants take their earnings and give it to Mexico, which is hurting California. Dog, there are millions! Even if they only make $3 an hour, that's still millions upon millions leaving Cali every day

And the other millions and millions are going straight into the economy. Anyone who thinks immigrants are bad for society need to get their heads checked. It's the number one reason that our government will never close the boarders. Immigrants, the poor and the working class are what keep this country running. Without them the rich would have no one to exploit.

With that being said, you & most everyone else are completely missing the much bigger picture that is at stake here. This arguement isn't about sending illegals home or closing the borders (that will NEVER happen, the US economy would crumble), this is about workers rights vs. the employers that seek to exploit them. The laws that are trying to be pushed through are made so that the employers can use them against any effort by the workers to get higher pay, benefits, unionize, etc.

 

[saladbowlking]

^^I AGREE, BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR DAY?? DO YOU THINK ITS GOOD FOR THEM??

 

[DubbC415]

ok, DaSlim...i didnt know "immigration is illegal"...and ur saying no one else has any basis for arguing against u...

 

[2-0-Sixx]

^^I AGREE, BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR DAY?? DO YOU THINK ITS GOOD FOR THEM??

Yes I do. May 1st represents the ability of the immigrant worker to demonstrate his or her power in the economy and an exercise to voice their views. Their absence from the workplace as well as the boycott will send a powerful message to the political elites that the immigrant workers must be taken into consideration.

May 1st is not only about immigration, it is also recognition of the workers that fought and died for the rights we have today, such as the 8 hour work day. It is a day for all races and nationalities to come together. Immigration is a key issue but it is not the only issue.

WITH THOSE FEELINGS TOWARD THE CAUSE, ARE YOU TAKING THE DAY OFF?

If you have millions of immigrants who come over here to work, just to send the money back to Mexico, isn't that hurting our economy? They're taking money from us, and giving it to Mexico.

Re-read that statement. So you're saying that people should only spend their money in the U.S.???? People have the right to do whatever they please with their money.

We can't help all of these people with out hurting oursrlves.

That's somewhat of a selfish statment but that's how this world operates...it's me me me ......fuck the rest.....
How are these immigrants hurtin the economy????????Gas PRICES are gonna hurt the economy, people who rely on the govt. hurt the economy, terrorism hurts the economy, spending BILLIONS of dollars on the "drug war", space missions, and a border hurts the government's pockets not YOURS. DO you have a clue how much the govt. would save if it stopped deporting immigrants? It's probably in the hundreds of millions of dollars each year. I'm not saying their shouldn't be a border but the govt. is wasting millions of dollars on something they have no control of, even if they put a 30 foot wall all along the us/mex border(which is impossible considering the rugged terrain) the U.S STILL wouldn't be able to keep us out. Just like aids, crime, coke/crack, and guns; the govt. will never be able to control it. The same applies for immigration. Those who are hear illegally are not hurting you one bit. But the news articles, the news anchors, the government, and the radio hosts, with their own show, make it seem that way. And some of you are eating it up like cake.

But if the Mexicans did it the right way, Learn English, go through the steps, come here, get an education and contribute to "America", then that would be great.

Where have you been all these years........this is what people from around the
country who choose to call america home.....they adjust to the country. Learning a second language isn't easy and speaking it (with no school help) isn't easy either. You have no clue what the process one has to go thru to become a citizen. First you have reside in the U.S for longer than 5-10 years(not sure about how many yrs but it's no less than 5) before you even apply. Then you must pay fees which would cost up to $2,000(cash), then their's atleast a 2 year wait for your application to go thru. Then you study the stupid test and pass it. All in all it takes about 10+ yrs to become a citizen. It's not an overnight process. And the majority that come here illegally come here for one reason....money to support themselves and their families, because back home(mex) is so currupt that a poor person has no room to make it in their own country.

But as of today the borders should be cealed tight, period.

Too bad it's never going to happen not now, tomorrow, or in the near future.
The govt. can't even control the drugs passing through the border....what makes you think they can do it with humans???

The California State Senate is supporting this...



APRIL 18, 2006
BILL NUMBER: SCR 113


INTRODUCED BY: Senators Romero, Cedillo, and Soto
(Principal coauthor: Assembly Member Coto)
(Coauthor: Senator Figueroa)
(Coauthors: Assembly Members Bermudez, Calderon, Oropeza, Saldana, and
Torrico)


SCR 113, as introduced, Romero: The Great American Boycott 2006


This measure would recognize May 1, 2006, as "The Great American Boycott
2006," to educate people in California and the United States about the
contributions of immigrants in California.


WHEREAS, May 1, 2006, is declared "The Great American Boycott 2006"; and

WHEREAS, The United States has a tradition of historic boycotts,
including the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott that galvanized the
African-American community and resulted in the landmark 1956 United States
Supreme Court ruling against segregation; and

WHEREAS, The Great American Boycott 2006 observes that tradition and is
intended to draw attention to the contributions of immigrants to the
nation's economy, including $4.5 billion in state taxes in California each
year, and more than $30 billion in federal taxes; and


WHEREAS, Immigrants and their children comprise nearly half of the
population in this state and live in virtually all 58 counties in
California. More than one-quarter of all California residents are foreign
born, a rate higher than any other state in the country; and

WHEREAS, Immigrants participate in the workforce at rates higher than
the national average. Ninety percent of Latino and Asian male immigrants
are employed; and

WHEREAS, Immigrants comprise approximately one-third of the labor force
in California and figure prominently in key economic sectors in
California, including agriculture, manufacturing, and services; and

WHEREAS, Immigrants provide leadership and labor for the expansion of
California's growing economic sectors, from agriculture,
telecommunications, and information technology to health services and
housing construction; and

WHEREAS, Immigrants are among California's most productive
entrepreneurs and have created jobs for tens of thousands of Californians.
In San Jose alone, immigrant owners of technology companies created more
than 58,000 jobs and generated more than $17 billion in sales during the
late 1990s; and

WHEREAS, The average immigrant-headed household in California
contributes over $2,600 annually to federal Social Security, $539 more
than the national average; and

WHEREAS, Nearly 40 percent of California's foreign-born residents are
United States citizens; and

WHEREAS, There are currently 2.7 million immigrants in this state who
are eligible for naturalization, 3.3 million are legal permanent
residents, and millions more will soon be eligible for naturalization; and

WHEREAS, California elected an immigrant to the highest post in the
State of California, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, in the most recent
gubernatorial election; and

WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of California recognizes that The
Great American Boycott 2006 is to educate people in California and across
the United States about the tremendous contribution immigrants make on a
daily basis to our society and economy; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly thereof
concurring, That May 1, 2006, be recognized as The Great American Boycott
2006; and be it further

Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this
resolution to the author for distribution.
