A Day without Immigrants

May 1st - the day that those who have illegally entered the United States as well as their supporters, intend to send a message by protesting in the streets of major urban centers. The message: As illegal aliens they are underappreciated; they would like some recognition, and by the way, while we are at it, an open border policy. Say again?

These individuals will neither go to school or to work. Does anyone really care besides the press and the unfortunate citizens of said urban centers? The problem as I see it is not the fact that in certain cities, such as Los Angeles and New York, people will not be at their work stations, nor attending our schools, rather they will be mucking up citizens lives by tying the hands of first responders (fire and police who must be present in case this gets out of hand) as well as the transportation industry in these cities.

That's patently annoying.

I'm fairly certain that if all illegal immigrants boycotted for the day by not going to work and staying home for a nap, hardly anyone would notice. Chances are they do not perform critical services in fields such as medicine, fire or police.

Here's a scenario and a thought

Illegal aliens, protesting in broad daylight, with police and emergency services personnel at the ready just in case anything should happen.

Call the border patrol (or the minutemen); take advantage of all those empty schoolbuses that will not be needed this morning and drive them all back to Senor Fox. The organizers could receive a free trip to Mexico! In fact, I might suggest the border patrol check for passports, etc. from the Radical Muslim Groups that will be marching in support of open borders!

Now, why would radical Muslim groups march in support of open borders and illegal immigration?

I for one am a very disgusted Hispanic-American. Those who are of Spanish blood and decent understand that our heritage is rooted in Catholic Conservatism. Every child of Spain(The Mother Country) is taught of the danger of the conquest of the Moors. It is unfortunate that this fact is buried in an old history book; no longer used in favor of the more appropriate and politically correct "Social Studies".

Today's protests? - Will anyone in the heartland, northeast (not including New York City) or elsewhere honestly be affected? It is doubtful. What a colossal waste of time and tax payers dollars.
