It makes me so mad that the news only seem to show people on camera that support all this crap. EVERYBODY I talk to, even hardcore liberals at my job are upset! I'm so sick of this all!
My name is Monika and I'm a legal immigrant from Europe.

If they took the day off work they all ended up shopping at Walmart. The place was packed! Everyone happily shopping. Whites and Mexicans enjoying the American dream. Sorry Mr. Aztlan Mon, we don't need your steenkin' Commie Day boycott.

The Walmart in Mount Vernon/Washington was not so crowded. They should do this more often, I loved going shopping there today!

Well, if congress tries to pass any kind of amnesty bill, I say the other side (legal immigrants and American citizens) do our own boycott.

You want to flex your muscles okay. Ours are bigger, and we can vote!

Ditto and about 75% of Americans (Republicans AND Democrats) agree with us accordingly to every MSM poll I've seen posted.

All 4 of my grandparents were legal immigrants from Europe. I understand.

Two major rallies in Los Angeles attracted an estimated 400,000, according to the mayor's office.

LAPD said 250, not 400. Note how all the other estimates were from police, but for LA they quote Mayor MECHistA.

Also the numbers don't add up. If LA and Chicago were both 400, that is almost 1M right there.

Yes, we had to do it the right way, so can they. I have a sticker on my car that I made up:

"I got my citizenship the right way - proud American since 2002"

no scratches yet hehehee.

I wonder how this all will end (if ever). What can we all do? I wrote to all Senators, etc. already (I posted my letter a few weeks ago on Freerepublic) so what is next for me?

Personally I wish every town in America would let its police force go up to anyone who looks illegal and ask to see the green card. If there isnt one then lock them up. Im sure there are closed military bases they could be housed then deported from. If we let these Mexican and other illegals get away with this BS we are going to be sorry. Illegals are not the backbone of this country. Hardwork and immigrants from many counties helped make this country what it is. However we can not take everyone in that wants to come here nor can we support them. I dont want the gangs that come in. Our prisons are filled with illegals who rape and kill. While our tax dollars support them. I'm mad as hell. Secure the border and send the illegals home to get in line to come in legally. Or if they're employed and the employers will sign for them let those stay. Then lets fine the the employers who hire illegals and make them pay to deport them. I will never buy tyson, perdue or goya products again. Nor will I visit Mexico again . And if I want my lawn mowed I will request that a non Mexican mow it. Gringo indeed. Im mad as hell. Enough is enough. Some homeland security we have. They wont even secure the border.

I would make a sailor blush if I wrote what I'm actually thinking about this whole situation.

This is so true. I just can't understand why congress is not paying attention to these polls. They will never vote republican.
