When illegal immigrants went on strike did it finally show the goverment how far out of hand the whole imigration issue got ?
Does it upset you ,they way illegal immigrants use our country and policey for good will to their own avantage?
Also, include any other veiws on politicians, over population, U.S. infostructure, and corporations.

The government knew. I think that is the first time ordinary people took the time to look up the statistics and find out how much of the problem they saw from immigration was in fact from illegal immigration. The crime and cost and education impacts are daunting, once you look them up.

i thnk it was the HR 4437 began the whole thing, cuz that bill was out to make everyone a felon & criminal even doctors, nurses, churches, etc.. the info on the bill got into the right hands and the mass media & of course teh Catholic church got into the whole dilemma. it did indeed awake the sleeping Giant- that is the incredible number of illegals here. we've let this immigration thing go on to long w/o importance & now we will pay double. the strikes & protests was to show how many & how strong this group of ppl are. so i'm all for freedom of speech & civil rights. immigration should've been an issue 10-15 yrs ago, the USA has let this go and now each & every american will pay for our leaders' shortcomings. i just don't understand why so many ppl r blaming this on the illegals & not our gvmt or the companies who hire them. but this whole immigration issue is a black hole that is never ending. Good Luckl though!!!

The final blow to me was when an illegal immigrant told me I didn't understand their rights above us in America. I did some digging, and boy am I passionate about this!!
I could scream how none of this is ever in the media!!!
And stats - holy cow - One source says 50% of americans want the senate bill - another says congressional mail is 400 to 1 against the senate bill
keep writing - watch who you vote for -
it's time to vote. no time to put off for our next elections.
Oh, and i say never in the media - because i've been at jobs where I had to get the headlines for everyday - and never saw a thing!
Then when they protested, they tipped their hand to their evil plot and more and more are catching on everyday.

I'm shocked at the lack of arrests! Thousands of law breakers in concentrated areas and not one arrest?!?! How much longer are we Americans going to tolerate this garbage is what I want to know! There are rules in place for becomming a citizen. You want to be an American?? - Follow the rules! It doesn't get any simpler!

They certainly hurt their cause more than they helped it. If they had not had their Mexican flags and signs in Spanish and if they had not been giving America the "one finger salute" maybe people would have taken to their plight a little better. Hell, you see how they bash me just for saying what I want to say. That is my right as an American. If they don't like it, they should leave. I will always defend my country and my people, just like my dad did.
(thanks dad)
