why _NOT_ on Cinco de Mayo? these people have no imagination.
May 1, 2006: Call to Action!
Nationwide General Immigrant Strike!
"El Gran Paro Americano 2006" "The Great American Boycott 2006"
"Un dia sin immigrante" "A day without an immigrant"
Immigrants contribute 7 billion in social security per year. they earn 240 billion, report 90 billion, and only are reimbursed 5 billion, "where are the 85 billion?" They also contribute to the U.S. economy 25 billion more than they receive in healthcare, etc., etc., etc.
According to the anti-immigrant politicians and hatemongers, "immigrants are a drain on society." If this is true, then during the day on May 1st the stock market will surge, and the economy will boom. If not, we prove them wrong once and for all. We know what will happen!
April 10 National Day of Action & Rally for Immigrant Rights!
Recognizing that the USA is a nation of immigrants, join the April 10 in a massive rally to:
- Stop the anti-immigrant House resolution 4437
- Stop all attacks against immigrants
- Stop criminalization of immigrant communities
We demand comprehensive immigration reform, including:
- A path to citizenship, not a temporary guest worker program
- Family reunification measures
- Worker protections
- Full rights for all immigrants!

boutons_ just pwnd himself.why on Cinco de Mayo? these people have no imagination.
It's also on my birthday. Great way to spend it.
Like most economists, I am very much pro-immigration and the free trade of labor. However, I feel obligated to point out that a good portion of money that illegal immigrants contribute to the Social Security program is done so via stolen Social Security numbers. I'm not going to try to find it, but MSNBC had an article on it a few months ago.Immigrants contribute 7 billion in social security per year. they earn 240 billion, report 90 billion, and only are reimbursed 5 billion, "where are the 85 billion?" They also contribute to the U.S. economy 25 billion more than they receive in healthcare, etc., etc., etc.
Also, I fail to understand what the organizer of this event is trying to get across with his (rather dubious) statistics. America as a whole contributes more to the economy than they recieve in the form of healthcare and "etc., etc." (whatever that is). Government spending on social programs isn't the entire economy. Most recent GDP figure is about $12.5 trillion... and I'm going to make a wild guess and say that all of that isn't healthcare.
And what is this "85 billion" being asked about. They earn 240 billion, report 90 billion, reimbursed 5 billion... what the heck are we talking about here? What are they reporting? What do they need reimbursement for? Is the 90 billion reported milage for business supplies their employers haven't reimbursed them for?
Its unfortunate that immigrants apparently have this organization representing them.
Does this mean that the Mojados that are scheduled to walk across that day will not walk?
Cool!!! Strike every day!
Chicanos!!
So... just so I'm sure... when the people in these protests are asked serious questions about the things their protesting about, their response is going to be "Chicanos!"?
Just asking...
Immigration good, illegal immigration bad.
It's that simple.
I know it's a scary word for you guys. But we will show our pride in a Huge way. We will not back off from the hatred and the continuous discrimination, racism and injustices that have been ignored for far too long. Equal rights for all.
Chicanos!! Yes, we are proud and immigrants are humans, as you are also an immigrant. Humans are not illegal. Mexicans should be accepted here just as you are.
Remember,
We didn't cross the border, the border crossed us!
So... the answer is essentially yes?
Yeah roll your eyes.
People try to make Mojado or a racist term, and it isn't.
It describes a person that walks across.
People that try to call all Latinos " s" are just idiots and they aren't from around here.
I'm not giving up the words. Sorry.
If some Gringo Yankee calls you a show him your drivers license them punch him in the mouth. I encourage it. I'm right there with you, I would probably hold his arms for you.
But people that walk across my ranch are mojados.
No human is illegal. And You sir are an immigrant of this country as well.
You read what I said in my last post. Why do you hate the word?
Bull . He was born here.
Go look the defenition of immigrant the up.
What word do I hate? I brought up issues with some items in the original post... you've responded with cute slogans.
So, they are mojados or s first? Not Mexicans?
No, that's not racist at all, right.
Even our laws would disagree with that.
Why are you bothered so much about this? This was Mexico. These people are good enough for a guest worker program, to use them for what we need them for, but then get the out?

Okay, I have no clue what you are talking about... so I guess... um... you win?
There are pakistani and African s too you moron. It's a term for people that walk across the river illegally.
Our cons ution was written by immigrants. Don't try to give Me a lesson. Your ancestors are not from here.
Why are you so quick to start calling names? Do you feel that it wins any debates for you? How old are you conservative guys who are so quick to start the childish namecalling?
And Yes, it Is a racial slur.
Funny how you have No idea whatsoever what I am talking about. I believe you.
These are issues that America needs to finally give attention to, and they will, because a movement is really starting, and it's for justice, so that we all can live together in unity.
