Imagine this....a wall of Americans, hand in hand, stretched from California to Florida. I don't know how to make it happen but someone out there does. I propose a protest of our own. Americans against all this illegal crap, standing together, hand in hand, stretched from sea to shining sea. We can make our own border for one day, send a huge message to the White House, to the illegals and to America. If we get lucky we could stretch all the way around the east coast and so on.
Would you be there? Would you stand with a fellow American, hold a hand and show these people that we are not going to take it anymore, that we are strong and united and intend to fight for our country? We the People, for the People!!!! We can BE the border!!!!!

Americans have to work to hard to pay for all these expenses that people who don't belong here use.
A better plan would be for anyone who could take a weekend or more to go down to the border and take pictures and tapes-talk to the people who live on the border -and get those pictures out to everywhere you can. Some TV stations will gobble it up. Take as many pictures or videos that you can. Show people what is happening-sent them to Magazines-talks-newspapers-put it on INTERNET-big time. Send to every group-forming. Put on lock bulletin boards. If you can't make the trip==take pictures you find on TV and INTERNET and keep it spreading. I plan on doing this myself soon.
Send The Minutemen a letter for them to post. Make a form letter and use it where and as often as you can. If someone has a story-send it. People have already made some difference-and Counties and States are listening. It is helping. Read Newspapers off the Internet and sound off-naming bad judges-cops-anyone you read about. If you see or read about an accident or damage caused by someone who is not suppose to be here--write that counties Newspaper-find out why. There is much a person can do-and are doing-my advise do something to let them know how you feel. Make Managers read Spanish Ads for you. If others are marching in your town-wear that shirt and don't be afraid to Boo-them. And wear a American flag T-shirt.
Just any thing you can think of helps.
Your idea is nice but many can not take the time or have the money. But the numbers are with the true Americans-who care for their people first.
Add on
Your very smart warriorbabe

Warriorbabe your insight is refreshing, I think that if we combined the concept that sqwirl hater asked about sticking together as one American team, anti and pro alike, and your idea of a show of unity, we could send an incredible message to the sorry politicians and lawmakers in this country, an idea that says we will not allow them to dictate law that is not in the best interest of the American people and illegal immigrants. We will no longer support politicians that cater to big business money mongers that don’t care about the people they exploit, no to slave labor, the American dream is still alive.
Gidgit- you have lost all my respect as a human being who actually cares about people, you have shown your true colors, instead of making a response whether or not you support this idea you attacked her character, you have no idea what a beautiful human being you are insulting, her family takes second to nothing, I find it interesting that you would question her and when I checked your profile you have been here less time than warriorbabe and you have asked and answered almost 3 times as many questions, who are you neglecting, you are the definition of hypocrite.
Smack- do your own research, you obviously know nothing about her stance or knowledge on immigration, as a matter of fact I believe you may have a reading comprehension problem, reread the question and get a clue.
This is an idea to show unity between all of us Americans no matter what your stance is, make the politicians listen to the people and remind them who they work for.
I will be there lets make it happen.

I would love that and I will be there holding my American flag high. My sweetie Renegade will be there with me too with bells on. I say let's do it!
Gidget, what ever happened to you to make you turn against your own country and people? I don't think it's fair for you to insult Warriorb. like this. She has a well thought out idea and she cares about this country, which is more than I can say for you. I would rather stand beside her anytime before I would stand beside of a traitor like you.

what do you mean "that we're not going to take it anymore"? that we're not going to take WHAT anymore? you obviously have no grasp on reality, and it seems you have no actual understanding of immigration issues.
rather than spending your time dreaming up some inane "protest", why don't you get out and learn about immigration. maybe talk to a few illegal immigrants about why they're here and what their plan for the future is. take a look at life from their perspective and gain some understanding of the world so you can talk about this really important issue as more than just "this illegal crap".

hell yeah! ill do that so i can understand the cashier at mcdonalds and be able ot not have half the population speaking spanish!
and here is my idea. without the illegals the us cant aford cheap enough labor to build a giant border fence. so we have them all build the fence and paint our side. then make them go to the other side to ppaint it and when there all out lock the doors for good

They tried that Hands Across America crap back in the mid 1980's. Only I think then it was to protest Hunger or something. It didn't work.

It would be much easier and cost effective to hire illegal immigrants to stand at the border. (/sarcasm)

If the Yanks held hands it would take 100.000.000.000 Yanks to reach Floriida.
If they stood head to head would take only 10.
