Heh, all these immigration protests amuse me. Good luck getting your message through to our politicians, since you CAN'T VOTE! Hahaha... suckers. Rallying for immigrant rights is an interesting thing to do... see, immigrants DO have rights. Plenty of rights. So long as they're LEGAL.
Of course, the crazy "crackdown law" would never work, even if it passed. Making illegal immigrants felons? Sure, I guess - it's not a smart or enforceable idea, but "illegal" and "felon" sort-of go together. It's the felonizing of the people who help them that I find ridiculous. All we have to do to solve this illegal immigration nonsense is enforce existing employment laws. A crackdown on businesses that hire illegal immigrants would dry up demand, but there would still be enough temp-work visas to keep strawberries cheap. Mexico would get most of its hardest working, most motivated citizens back, and that country (assuming no major government mismanagement) would start to not suck. (Though I'd prefer that America opened legal immigration to anyone who fulfilled certain requirements, such as learning English, taking naturalization classes, etc. - that way we get the hard-working ones back, and they can integrate better. This is why the McCain bill makes more sense to me...)
An immigrant "boycott work" day? Hmm... I wonder what sort of affect an American "boycott tourism" day would have on Mexico
Anyway, now that the rant is out of my system... yeah, nothing more to talk about.
