The vatos have been led by some bad people into a series of colossal miscalculations.

Why do they think that giving the finger to the country that has (up to now) accepted them will help their cause?

The more they "flex their numbers", the more America realizes our problem and its associated costs.

The end is nigh for illegals in such unbounded numbers. JMHO

"The antiboycott laws, however, apply to all boycotts imposed by foreign countries that are unsanctioned by the United States"

I did a scan of our Sunday paper (DFW) and found that every article, every editorial, every column was very pro-immigration, pro-illegal. Much hand ringing and pulling of hair about what would happen to the restaurants, farms, construction companies if the illegals were forced to return home and how we would all suffer. Not one article that I found was against illegal immigration or called for border control.

Good for Sandra Sweet.

The 11,000,000 illegals DON'T vote. The voters hold the election of politicians, who make, enforce and judicate the laws.

Ramming unpatriotism down our throats does these pro-illegal immigrants NO good.

The Star Spangled Banner in SPANISH?! Absolutely, totally, 100% insulting, demeaning and unpatriotic.

Didn't a BRIT start this?

Where is the law? These people are breaking the law by being here without proper papers or authority. Round them up and have the buses ready to ship them back to Mexico. Or be like the Mexican government and put them in jail for 20 years or more if they will not go back to their rat infested country.

Wonder if On-line purchases count?

[Sybeck1]

I am still trying to figure out how this will worse than a usual Christmas day. On Christmas 90% of businesses close.

Illegals will have to purchase items either today or Tuesday, if they don't tomorrow.

I believe I will greet everybody at the airport (as I take a $1K airline flight), the rental car agency (as I begin a month's rental), the hotel, the restaurants with a big "Happy Bite the Hand that Feeds You Day". Will also probably do some shopping.

I'm a citizen of Orange County, a legal citizen, too. Wife and I will have our list done and plan to head out early to do our part. We even are getting b'day and Christmas presents for the grand kids.

I applaud Ms. Sweet for her effort and hope that she is joined by many, many counter protesters across the country. I support those who make the effort to counter the boycott by making many purchases on May 1. Mid week I too was concentrating my efforts on coming up with a plan to counter this 'boycott' even if in just some small way. My focus has changed, drastically.

I am an avid supporter of President Bush. A huge reason I voted for him was because I trusted his ability to fight the war on terror and to protect this country from terrorism and I have supported ALL of his decisions in that regard, incuding Dubai, but have been frustrated with the inaction on the borders. I have felt that the inaction was due to both parties' appeasement of Latino voters

In ONE day, millions and millions of illegal alien invaders and their supporters have ANNOUNCED to President Bush and our leadership in D.C., that they WILL illegally take over major cities and shut down the entire country. They have made their demands clear and have stated that their objective is to intimidate our government into meeting their demands, which include immediate and full legalization, taking back their stolen land and open, unchecked borders.

'Boycott?" Their 'boycott' is a dangerously massive, threatening, uncontrollable assembly of foreign invaders, who's intentions are meant to be a show of force, all across the country, against our government, are an 'in your face' dare to any oppposition, and are, imo, without a doubt, a threat to national security. It is a threat that our government has created, done nothing to prevent, and is doing nothing to stop.

Wish there were a few more days to get organized. Too bad Rush is so busy with personal troubles.

Here in Discovery Bay we have a new upscale restaurant. My wife and I went in for dinner Thursday night last week. When we got up to the door we saw a sign "We will be closed on Monday May 1 in support for the Great American Boycott". We ordered a drink and talked about it for a minute. I then approached the owner who I happen know and asked why he would support such a boycott and added the there was nothing American about. He said he would not have any kitchen staff ... I said ... so what ... why don't you come in and just cook burgers and hotdogs for a day and keep the bar open. He just shrugged it off. To that I said ... we'll you won't be seeing us in here anymore ... as we will be participating in the "Great American Former Customer Boycott" ... lets see who you can do without .... illegal employees or customers. Then my wife went up to him ... and was NOT as nice as I was. My wife and I then drove to the local pizza parlor (who is open on Monday BTW) and had salad bar. it was more healthy and $80.00 cheaper.

Point is ... that is exactly what needs to be done to those who honor Pinko de Mayo tomorrow. Don't patronize those who employee illegals.

I wish I had more money to spend on Monday.

How can we assure that purchases made today get credited as today's business? Seems that some businesses sympathetic to the illegals' cause might not report sales until tomorrow. Probably credit card purchases will have to reflect today's date.

We'll be shopping this afternoon.

Yesterday I posted a story about a restaurant that was to close today in support of pinko de mayo. My wife and I called and emailed everyone we could think of to ask them to boycott the restaurant. Apparently the restaurant owner got the message as the restaurant opened today with a limited menu and an open bar and the notice that was posted was forgotten. I will go in tomorrow to thank the restaurant owner for his courage.
