How many of you protest illegal immigration?

Question

How many of you younger "computer " warriors actually get out and protest either against or for illegal immigration reform?

Or is it just a computer game to you? Is it really something you believe in? Do you fight for your side? Do you stand up for your country? Or do you let others do the dirty work for you?

Play on

Did you read this? It says BOTH. Reading is fundamental you know.

Thanks DAR and Chuck...Too many kids with the mouth on here but no action. Holiday's are hard.

Answer 1

I shouldnt answer this question due to the "requirement" that I need to be young....LOL...
I am a member of several groups against illegal immigration, and am active with calls, faxes and also with supporting the broward chapter for Ron Paul for President. I believe that no one person has the right to complain about the problem unless they are active in finding the solution...other wise they themselves are part of the problem...so either they need to put up...or shut up...either way, it's up to them...excellant questions tonite Dog Tricks...

Answer 2

Well, probably they do have a protest going on, but to be sure, those people who are protesting do not represent the majority of Mexicans. Many of the Mexicans living in Mexico actually have mixed feelings about the people who come to the U.S. legally or illegally. Many of them feel that they should stay in Mexico and make Mexico more productive and not drain the country of the young talent. They feel that the ones who leave are abandoning the work that needs to be done in Mexico, I have had lengthy conversations with Mexicans in Mexico about this topic and many of them do not have much sympathy for the illegals here, in fact, quite surprising to me was many of the comments that were opposite of what you'd think you would here, like I said, they feel like these illegals here have abandoned their country. Despite what Calderon has said, just like us here with Obama, they say a lot of crap, but it doesn't represent what the majority of us are feeling or thinking.

Answer 3

Truly, I'm sorry your sons aren't home for Thanksgiving.

I don't carry picket signs, but I do lobby.

If it ever seems effective to carry a picket sign I'll consider it, but that has never really been the case in this country. People talk about the civil rights marches, but it took the Supreme Court to guarantee rights to black citizens.

We have to build grass roots candidates, and that will take longer than the 2008 election, unfortunately.

However, it isn't a game, it just seems not to be going anywhere for a bit, nationally. They are digging their trenches and none of them merge into a solution. Suppose they pass the SAVE act in the House. Where do you think it is going to go in the time they have left? Oh, I'm watchful for a miracle, but I'm not expecting one.

Answer 4

I too get involved in some form or fashion to protest against illegal immigration. Both locally with petitions, and emailing, and phone calls to my State Reps in D.C. So there is no mistake that I fight for my side, as well as stand up for my country, because this is something I believe in.

On another note. I too wish your sons were home with you. Just as I wish others children's were home with them as well.

I wish you and yours a wonderful thanksgiving anyway. And I keep your sons (all troops) always in my thoughts, and prayers.

Answer 5

There are many ways to work towards a proper solution to the illegal immigration crisis. Protesting is one of the least effective means to drive change. The computer is a modern tool and its power is just now being felt. A good example is the defeat of the 3 recent amnesty bills. The battle was fought via online faxes, emails and phone calls to congress.

Answer 6

I'm....quite active in the political process in my state.
I try to lead instead of waiting to be led.
I stand for the principles of law and order, and for my Country.
Within the confines of illegal immigration I email, Fax, and phone my federal representatives as well as encouraging others to do the same to stop this ....travesty..


Edit:

Agree with DAR on this one. I wish your sons were home with you kiddo.

Wait: Shouldn't have answered this. I passed "younger" a while back.....QUITE a while back.

Answer 7

I'm am old fart and definitely not an Internet commando but I let my vote at the polls, phone calls and emails do the protesting for me. Protesting is of limited effectiveness and the majority of the time only results in being called racist....for some reason.

Answer 8

I write to congress, if I coulkd go and protest I would, but I can't because I have a job, and a family I need to worry about.

It is hard to just take off work when you are trying to make " A HONEST LIVING".

Answer 9

Absolutely I do. I've been to actual protests, I harrass my lovely rulers with emails and phone calls and I share my thoughts with random people who care to listen. Now when you say younger are we talking physical age or mental age?

Answer 10

Most of us probably do as you say we are computer protestors. The liberal media plays against the anti-illegals and we never get air time when we protest. The liberals types who promote illegals do not realize they soon will be in their neighborhood taking their stereos, plasma tv, etc.
