Help defend America against the new terrorists

PLEASE READ & DO THIS. WE have a super serious problem


WASHINGTON (AFP) Immigrants' rights advocates, elated by the resounding success of Monday's "National Day of Action," which drew the backing of hundreds of thousands of protesters across the United States, now are planning a national boycott which they hope will have an even greater resonance.

Organizers are planning the May 1 "Great American Boycott," urging illegal immigrants -- who cannot vote and who have only limited political power -- to flex their economic muscle. Protesters are being urged to refrain from shopping, and to stay away from school and work.

You should take a moment to let that sink in.

This is a movement orchestrated by people who entered the US illegally, and then want to scream about their "rights." WHAT RIGHTS?

THEY DON'T EVEN BELONG HERE!

Let's take a look at some of the many benefits that illegal aliens have blessed our great country with: Street gangs, graffitti, drugs, skyrocketing healthcare, depreciation of property value, illiteracy.

The list could go on. What they actually have to offer (cheap labor) pales to what they have given our country to deal with. I'll take expensive vegetables over expensive healthcare any day!

And now, like terrorists, they are going to attack our economy -- the one entity that makes our nation stand out from all the others. The backbone of our nation. The country they came to like locusts so they could reap the benefits is now the focus of their boycott. You've seen it on TV: Marching on our American streets waving their Mexican flags boldly showing that they can be more racist than who they accuse of, and yet the obvious is totally oblivious to them......

IF YOU'VE GOT IT SO BAD HERE, THEN LEAVE!!!

To all the real Americans, you can do one small thing on May 1st,2006. It won't be racist, nor will it be violent. It will not be boastful, arrogant, selfish, nor distasteful. It will not be any of those things that our "guests" have already displayed. What it will do is nullify a movement.

All you have to do is buy something on May 1st. Make up for what they will try to take away. It doesn't have to be a new car or house (unless you were already planning on getting one). It simply needs to be a day of trading.

Hold off grocery buying until May 1st.
Take your wife out to eat that night.
Get the kids pizza, hamburgers, whatever!
Make several trips to the convenience store.
Buy your meals at work.
Fill up your tank.
Shop for clothes, furniture, outdoor equipment.

If it needs to be bought, BUY IT MAY 1st!
Those are just a few suggestions. We're not asking you to spend your inheritance that day, but just to spend more than you normally would. Even if it's only a few dollars, this will help soften the blow that the Mexicans will try to inflict on our economy that day. It sounds trivial at first, but if this idea gets around, what the Mexicans set out to do will fail.

Re: Help defend America against the new terrorists

They held a boycott for a day? Nobody around here noticed.

Yes, yes, I know the border areas were probably feeling it, don't everybody start jumping up and down about it.

I live on the Texas/Mexico border and I didn't notice anything. The Walmarts were packed as usual.

Re: Help defend America against the new terrorists

I didn't notice anything yesterday, myself. Actually the supermarket was extra busy for some reason -- the cashier and bagger in the lane I was in were discussing that fact (they had no idea why it was so busy yesterday.) I'm talking 6pm on a Monday -- it was like a Thursday in there.

At any rate, it seems to me that produce prices have gone up at least 25% in just the last year or so ANYWAYS -- despite all the "cheap labor" in the fields.

Re: Help defend America against the new terrorists

Actually the only thing I noticed in Los Angeles during yesterday's boycott is the fact that there was WAY less traffic going to work in the morning and coming home at night. But according to the news there were some construction companies that were shut down and a few other businesses.

Hopefully it's a good sign that our economy isn't as reliant on the illegal aliens dollar as they had thought.

Re: Help defend America against the new terrorists

Despite all the "boycotts" and protests that are apparently happening, I've yet to notice anything out of the ordinary.

But thinking about it, mostly illegals don't make hardly any money at all anyway so how much economic power they really thought they were going to exercise is pretty nil.

I'm in Arizona, and I totally forgot about it, and never noticed. I think they shot themselves in the foot with this one.

Ok now for Muscletang's racial remark.

Lets show the Mexicans who REALLY has the economic power in this country.

This Monday, all white/black/Indi...ah hell, anybody who isn't a Mexican skip work and school and don't buy a damn thing.

Re: Help defend America against the new terrorists

It was strange walking around school on monday. I had expected it to be missing about a thousand people (thats about how many mexicans attend my school), but it was as crowded as ever

Re: Help defend America against the new terrorists

The media spin on this one ought to be interesting, since a lot of people I correspond with didn't notice anything different on Monday.

I think the illegals should just shut the hell up and stop trying so hard to piss the rest of us off.

Yeh in Arizona I didn't see anything. From El Mirage all the way to Mesa which is about an hour drive passing through Phoenix. Didn't see anything at all.

Re: Help defend America against the new terrorists

The illegal immigrants protesting, holding marches and what not should have been the largest round up of immigrants in the country. But the police didn't do shit, these people admit to not having green cards, and march down our streets and we do nothing?

Re: Help defend America against the new terrorists

Today is Cinco de Mayo or for us Americans May 5th.

It is rather ironic that there was the biggest rally of illegals and yet nothing was done to "round [them] up."

Blown out of proportion by the media and I agree 100%.


BTW - Happy Cinco de Mayo all. Corona beer time.
