Today is supposedly when millions of illegal Mexican squatters are being told to stay home from work and not buy anything to show the omnipotent power they have over the U.S. economy.
No word yet on whether illegal Chinese, Saudi, or Haitians (or any other nationality) have been invited to take part.
Racism has nothing to do with it. Since the illegals agitating for attention are Hispanic, then it's the illegal Hispanics who will get the attention. And the mocking that goes along with it.
Here where I live, some businesses, mainly Mexican restaurants, are closing for the day in solidarity with the insurgents. Therefore, if your situation is similar, I'm marking this as Make Your Own Taco Day.
Just trot down to your favorite still-open market, purchase the delicious fresh ingredients (no box crap allowed! That's too easy) and make your own scrumptious Mexican-style meal. If you want a nice frozen adult beverage to go with it, swap the tequila for rum and have a Daquiri instead of a Margarita.
Or, if you are just lousy in the kitchen, find an authentic Mexican restaurant that is open and offer them your patronage and hard earned cash.
Our current open-border policy is a bona fide national security threat. Anyone can sneak over our border, nobody's sitting there qualifying Mexicans over Muslims to creep in.
Seal the damned border, we can figure out what to do about those already here later.
And fly your American flag proudly today, if you aren't already.

Seal the damn border NOW. We'll deal with the squatters later.

I keep trying to tell ya'll, it will be up to the citizens of the United States to seal the border. The government is just not interested. The Democrats want the illegals for their votes, and many Republicans want the domestic and yard help. If a terrorist slips through, so what? Neither of these groups really care about the US.

I have finally realized after all these years just what inept cowards we have running this country (USA). The bill they were going to pass was one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of. One provision would have required amnesty-seekers to "promise to be upstanding citizens". LOL. And just how were they going to figure out how long these people have been here? Less than two years and they would have to return to their country of origin. Between 2-5 years, they'd have to return briefly, get carded, and then return to the US. THIS is what our "leaders" came up with???? They actually expected to get the truth as to how long an illegal immigrant has been here? LOL. It's absolutely stupid. I want that border sealed and pronto. I had an RNC guy call me up and ask for money (like they always do). I told him, "Until you guys get this stuff under control, don't call me again". I hope they're getting the same response from millions of Americans.

There are many good, hardworking people who come here, both legally and illegally, to support their families and make a better life for themselves, and the shame is that those will be hurt by the actions of a few radicals who don't have such noble intentions. Meanwhile in the government camp, the band plays on...

Tacos???? I wish! I wish it was all (illegal immigration) coming from just one location! But its not. Mexicans may be number 1 but ....
Immigration advocates like to believe that the illegals are one big happy family - they actually think a stupid term like Hispanic denotes "natural unity".
Come the next recession - just watch how unified illegal Mexicans, Pervians, Guatemalans, Salvadorians, Haitians, Muslims, Africans, Chinese, Koreans, etc. etc. etc. are! - especially with an offical unemployment rate 12-15% amongst legals and citizens - and 30-40% amongst illegals.
It should be interesting - especially when illegals compete for jobs not only amongst themselves - but against legals and citizens too!

We're screwed, you know. The Republicans don't want to punish the businesses who hire illegals and the Democrats don't want to punish the illegals for invading.
And I want Harry Reid to get his butt down here to Florida and MAKE ME SOME DAMN TACOS!

I wonder what the true number is for all the illegal aliens who now occupy our country. Suffice it to say that it tops the 10-11 million government estimate. I bet it is closer to 20 million, with no one either in or out of government able to get a hand on it.
After this amnesty, what do you think will happen next? The Democrats will return to power, no border patrol agents will be hired, an open borders policy will be encouraged, and the US will disappear as a nation.
The legislation before Congress right now will decide the future of the US. Will it be a French solution of appeasement, or will it be a solution that allows the nation to survive? Probably the French version, but one can still hope.

Cheap labor, good economy, rose-colored glasses over the implications and meaning of multi-culturalism and diversity.
No action will be taken at this time - gov only responds when severe crisis actually occurs - right now its tolerable.
Expect response in future when economy goes south - flash points with be urban areas where illegals compete against each other group, and especially African Americans - look to LA, Florida, areas with high black populations, and/or exceptionally diverse immigrant populations.
It will get ugly and violent - urban gov services will breakdown without massive tax increases on citizen population - current high national debt and budget deficits have removed any possible cushion.
How bad it gets - no one can tell - watch the business community - decentralization and relocation now completely possible due to communications revolution - they have been looking to make the complete jump out of central cities since the 60/70s.

Why, yes memphis, it does.
Tuna flavored, even.
Did I just say that?

What do you mean, "yeesh." You named yourself after an aphrodisiac, after all.
