Is this a big deal to people from other parts of the country?
It is here in SoCal. So big in fact that the place I work at put up a sign up sheet and gave Monday off to anyone who signed it.
Its going to be anarchy as millions of mexicans dont report for work and schools sit empty of students. Cars will go unwashed, dishes will pile up on tables and no one will be around to sell non inspected thirld world swamp water grown fresh fruit from the back of an old truck.
Seriously, around here this thing is HUGE. But is it so huge where your from?

"third world swamp water grown fresh fruit from the back of an old truck."
This country was built on the backs of immigrants from drunken Mick's to drunken Spic's. To discriminate is ridiculous, these people are under appreciated, their not looking for hand outs, they flood home improvement centers looking for work. All them bums I see are WHITE, and BLACK. If you are in So Cal I formally invite you to come down to the protest and make your remarks! Its your governments fault for the lack of jobs, not the people working for minimum wage picking fruit and washing dishes. People in America are with out Jobs because of laziness.

Cops to Greet Alien Rallies with Civil Disobedience
by Scott Ott
(2006-04-28) ? As May 1st draws near and America prepares for the hardship and suffering of ?A Day without Illegal Immigrants?, the Justice Department announced today plans to mark the protest movement with its own act of civil disobedience.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said he?ll encourage federal, state and local law enforcement on Monday to respond to illegal immigration rallies by observing ?A Day without Miranda Rights? followed by ?A Month without Habeas Corpus? and ?A Year without Bail.?

From Wikopedia, take it for what it is worth.
Quote:
International Workers' Day (a name used interchangably with May Day) is the commemoration of the Haymarket Riot of 1886 in Chicago, Illinois, and a celebration of the social and economic achievements of the international labor movement. The 1 May date is used because in 1884 the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions, inspired by labor's 1872 success in Canada, demanded an eight-hour workday in the United States to come in effect as of May 1, 1886. This resulted in a general strike and the riot in Chicago of 1886, but eventually also in the official sanction of the eight-hour workday. The May Day Riots of 1894 and May Day Riots of 1919 occurred subsequently.
Due to these Radical Left overtones, May Day has long been a focal point for demonstrations by various socialist, communist, and anarchist groups. In some circles, bonfires are lit in commemoration of the Haymarket Riot usually right as the first day of May begins. [citation needed] In the 20th century, May Day received the official endorsement of the Soviet Union; celebrations in communist countries during the Cold War era often consisted of large military parades and shows of common people in support of the government.
The Red Scare periods ended May Day as a mass holiday in the United States, a phenomenon which can be seen as somewhat ironic given that May Day originated in Chicago.

Yes, I can attest to this as well. I live in Chicago and there are bums everywhere - most are black and the rest are white. Never do you see Mexican bums or other immigrants. Immigrants work and have pride as well as under-the-radar community support networks - they take care of each other.

I live here in LA and know a few who say they will dip out on work. I honestly think it will not be as HUGE as the media around here is making it. I think it'll be as signifigant as the marches a month or two ago. I fully support it, people can demonstate their politics however they please. A point will be made about how important imigrants are to the economy. A point that I feel has already been brought to attention.
Sure some businesses net profit for the day may suffer a percentage or be shorthanded for employees. But I fail to see how this will have anymore a lasting impact beyond the media spectacle it creates.
I mean, come on, anarchy?

I hope the statisticians are keeping track.............how bad will this effect our economy?????...........my guess not jack shit

Only citizens have the right to demonstrate.. Illegals should all be deported for protesting.

The schools will feel something. They get $40 a day per student and the state already said they will watch close to see how much they get.

Apples and Oranges. This isnt about homelessness, its about illegal imigrants comming into the US by the THOUSANDS and the economic disaster that follows.

If I am not working that day, I'll make a drive to Chicago.
I'll drive out there just for the entertainment aspect, however, so I can argue with the Communists and laugh at the anarchists.

By that logic black people would have never gained citizenship and freedom.

But do you recall a demand for hard working labor? Heh. Right now my folks are doing major construction and remodeling, we aren't hiring Americans. We hire immigrants who work their asses off and get the job done for less than Americans.
Fucking costs 1500 to open up the basement floor and replace only 3 feet of a pipe. Now we decided to replace the whole system under the basement floor and we won't be hiring Americans, sorry, no MONEY FROM US TO YOU, BITCH.
Our neighbors who are mexican immigrants helped us plant grass in our backyard, for free... But they gave us their business card cause we need more work done
My dad bought them some Carona beer but they declined. Shit, I am an immigrant myself.

Ive said this a hundred times... The problem with legal immigrants, aside from the fact that the process is slow, awkward, and difficult; Is that, legal immigrants have to be paid minimum wage. Doesn't that kind of eliminate the advantage of hiring immigrants in the first place?
