A speaker at a Florida agriculture event thinks so:
"Workers typically move from agriculture to higher-paying jobs in construction and other industries, Kates said, but new immigrants replenished the supply.
"We don't have that replenishment worker anymore. It will have a dramatic impact on how we do business in the future," he said. "We are looking at a new day."
Kates said Congress is completely polarized on immigration issues. Legislators were trying to reach a compromise this spring, but immigration-related protests destroyed that effort, he said.
"Illegals went to the streets and flew the Mexican flag. That just about wiped out the middle ground," Kates said. "People who had been sympathetic in the past were not anymore.""
What do you think?

Yes....And for those illegals who did that, they were wrong.....I think they are evoking tension and provoking these people and it will back fire on them....Unfortunately they are the under class and to parade around like that, will only create problems for them....

The right wing rock heads did not understand the meaning of those marches. They assumed to much and knew to little. The wing nuts are at a loss for anything positive to say about anybody that is different, and who would want to be like them?

Dar--you know by now-that farmers do not support these corporate farms that use them-and they are a small percentage Nation wide. And we don't need them.
But to your question--Yes -they did more harm than most imagine. And I think that they will do more if they do again in Sept. I think they are cutting their own throats. The best thing they could do would to be- lay low. But they are following bad leaders.

There is little doubt that it did. That whole dis-respect of our flag and the racist remarks by la raza and other racist organizations,the national anthem fiasco, all of it solidified Americas resolve. I don't see any reason to compromise on a subject when complete victory is so easily attainable

I wish the illegals and their supporters would march every day! On Mayday there was zero traffic here in Los Angeles County. I made it to school soooooo fast. A day without an illegal made my day! March on people. Keep it up!

What do I think? That they were just looking for an excuse to blur their hatred and be justified by people like you.
Hi Angela good to see you again.

NO, IT JUST SHOWED UNITY BETWEEN THE RACES. I SAW ALL PEOPLE JOINED TOGETHER FOR THE SAME CAUSE.
