I have a wife and 3 kids I have no freakin choice but to buy something everyday.
But we should take it a step further ,stop selling stuff to all immigrants and maybe they would all go the F home.

Ok, dear Jennifer, I ‘think’ I see where you are coming from. No, the Mexican people are not, by any means, the only immigrants in the US. The argument can be made that we are ALL immigrants and that the Indian was here 1st. Even that doesn’t hold water when you think and read that ‘they’ immigrated across the strait to Alaska, etc., etc.

Support your people? That is a fine undertaking. You say that you are NOT an immigrant. OK, but isn’t all of this about ‘illegal’ immigration? Hasn’t the fire been fueled by the United States flag being flown upside down? Haven’t numerous Hispanic politicos in LA come out in favor of all of this mess?

It’s written somewhere that the biggest portion of ‘illegals’ are working as domestics. For shame that a soccer Mom should have to clean her own toilet.

It’s also said that that ‘illegals’ are taking jobs way from the ‘Americans, or legal folks who live here. I say bull. Try to get some of the welfare folks to pick tomatoes or follow the crops or whatever. The porch monkeys ain’t going to do it, at all.

Go for it, support your people. Remember, your people are citizens of this country. If they are 'illegal', what right do they have in this mess.


I have traveled to many, many, many foreign countries, and that is exactly what I was, a foreigner. No allowances were given me because I didn’t speak the language. None. Only in your finer establishments did an English translation appear. Why was that? The all mighty dollar.


I think it is best, as you say, that you go to work. Something tells me that the Marine Corps will not be forgiving.


One last thing, I do not always agree with all that is said or written by others.

I tried to edit my above post, but it appears I exceeded the time limit imposed.

I wanted to add that folks should read the descriptions of the forums -

Jennifer, you're 100% wrong! You are part of the problem and not part of the solution. There wasn't one word said about Mexicans, white, black, red, purple, or green, only illegal. If you support illegal activity on this scale you need to wake up. Are you not showing up for work tomorrow in support of them?

My wife is an Mexican

And she doesn't support her people coming here un-regulated, we live in a system were everything is balanced , unfortunately we have some liberal fags that like to give everything away for free , nothing is for free my friends it all has a cost .

They come here to have babies and we pay for it, they get sick we pay for it , I'm sick of paying for **** that ain't mine , I have my own squad to take care of and a few others (kids friends that have parents that suck at being parents), and I dont mind doing that , but these blood sucking maggots come here knowing they will get a free hand outs and our Gov. lets them do it.

When will Americans go protest that we will not pay taxes with out proper representation . Demand same status for non paying medical attention and tax breaks, illegals dont pay taxes , get free medical and get same rights has we do , BULL****!!!!! Crap I'm mad now ,sorry,,
I just shut down my transportation Co. because of fuel prices $3.19 diesel at the pump. While my fellow Marines take it hard every day in Iraq , sorry I'm not a politician, either we pull out or annihilate the bastards and aquire their oil fields that where paid for in blood by US Marines ,Navy, Army and Air Force personal on behalf of the USA.

Well said Hocker!!!!!! By God I feel the same way. It's about time our politicians (and I use that word loosely) in D.C. get some gonads and take a stand on this issue. It seems like all they are concerned with is who is going to vote for their fatasses. I urge them to do their job and do it NOW!!!!!!!

SEMPER FI,

My two cents is I am an American and "my people" are the American people. We dont have African Marines, Irish Marines, Mexican Marines, English Marines, Japanese Marines, Chinese Marines, Vietnamese Marines, German Marines, Scottish Marines, French Marines, or any other nationality Marines only United States Marines. Why must we have nationality Americans. A house divided shall not stand and Im glad that the Corps has the leadership to make that be, and wish our government did as well.

Good posts all.

The key word here is 'illegals', not Mexican.

Jennifer, it may interest you to see the outcome of a demonstration of this type in Mexico City, or Havana, or Hong Kong, or Caracas, or Bogota, or Malabo, or any of the other places where the citizenry has the same rights as they have here. And what do you think the outcome would be of the demonstrator on the White House lawn? Would she have done this in Hong Kong or on the mainland, and gotten away with it?

Down here in South Florida there was an idea floating around that the National Anthem be re-worded to Spanish so that those of spanish speaking descent could sing along. How about those apples? Somethings you just shouldn't mess with and the National Anthem is one of them. Then again, everything else seems to have been messed with so why not the National Anthem?
Immigrant No Shopping Day- Isn't today a mass protest day all over the world? I could be wrong but it sure seemed like May the 1st was always a Communist/Socialist day of protest? Workers rights always seemed to be the focal point of these protests. Please correct me if I am wrong. Everything just seems to be coincidental.

I am an AMERICAN by birth and and not one member of my family has crossed the so called border at all. I am brown colored and to be honest I am ashamed of all the hispanic people crying for rights that ILLEGAL people should have. Last time I looked if you are an ILLEGAL you have NO RIGHTS!! And as for Jennifer backing HER people, is a very ignorant remark. Her people over in Mexico do not even like Hispanics here in America. I will do what I can to boycott businesses that support this idiotic movement. Funny thing is these idiots are using a famous quote from Cesar Chavez who was AGAINST ILLEGAL Immigrants. If they only knew that he would go to the borders like the Minute Men and stop them from coming over!! He even used violence to stop them from coming over.

But seriously we need to do what we can to boycott businesses that support this May 1st day, we need to write anyone and everyone in political office to get our voice heard. My 2 cents.

Every day, people come to the US of A LEGALLY in order to gain freedom, respect, and a new chance at life. No disrespect to different races or places of origin, but if they can't play by the rules, they have no right being here, eating our food, taking our jobs, and DEFINATELY not changing words to our Anthem, policy regarding OUR FLAG, and regarding this place as THEIR HOME. It's not their home until they've earned it. Every American citizen has earned their right to stay here somehow or another, or have gotten their asses kicked (wether physically or verbally) for not doing so. This topic is such a fireball. This is America. We don't speak English, we speak AMERICAN. If I go back to Korea, we speak Korean. You don't come to another country expecting them to bend to your will. It's a privalege to see the world. It's a privalege to have an opportunity for change in your life. A country does not bend to people. People make the country, people bend to the will of the greater good. Meaning, you don't like it, change it if you have the right to. If you don't have the right, DEAL with it.

"Ask not what you're country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." -JFK

I think that speaks pretty loud. The eyes of an American child crying because some idiot without citizenship is burning their flag at school and someone TOLERATING IT--that speaks a million and a half words. I'm going to have kids one day. If someone messes up their America, I'm going to mess them up. I think that's how pretty much everyone feels.

Much Love
-Maria

Very, very disturbing! And 'us' Mexicans???? Are you American or Mexician?
So easy t point the finger at others, cuz one of the other posters pointed out, the org post did not single out any one country's ILLEGAL immigrants, so stop whining!
What is your defenition of ILLEGAL? When does it become legal to be illegal? So if i go on a robery spree, how many will it take before i can do it legally?? ZERO, it will never be legal because it is ILLEGAL!
