Bump and good luck.
Maybe this project will be educational to the participants. I hope they will use it to learn, instead of to just vent their emotions.
The situation is not the same all over the country - CA & DC are very different. For example, in the DC Metropolitan area, the overall unemployment rate is <3%. That means that in many suburban areas, businesses are begging for unskilled workers. But in the Black areas of DC, the unemployment rate for unskilled Black men is up to 30%.
If you really want to have those jobs go to African-Americans instead of immigrants (legal or illegal), then find a way to get those African-Americans off their duffs and into the workplace.
And, please do note that I'm talking only about unskilled workers. I know there are many fine skilled African-Americans in the workplace.
I thought it was hysterically funny.
I love that paint scheme!The flag is awesome.
I don't know what he has. Give Lyman a link for the unit. Unfortunately, he leaves in the morning so he is pretty much out of time.
Cougar anyone?
cougar for sure
Thanks for the ping(s). Hooray Lyman! Thanks.
How about that route or itinerary?
I can't help but compare this to the movie "Vanishing Point" (the original where Cleavon Little was the DJ in-the-know). Hopefully Lyman won't have as hard a time with a hostile government.

The immigration debate just got a little weirder:The Minuteman Project is kicking off a Minuteman Caravan Wednesday morning to drive from Los Angeles to Washington, DC, stopping in Phoenix and Crawford, TX, the president's home town.So why start in predominantly black Leimert Park?
"Over 40% of black teenagers are unemployed. Overall unemployment in the black community is double that of white Americans," said Minuteman Founder Jim Gilchrist. "They are the most harmed by illegal immigration and it's time we focused our efforts in our inner cities where help is needed most."Make of this what you will, but to me the racial politicking is ... interesting.CLICK HERE for the rest of that thread
...and they won't? One wonders why? Why? Why?
Bump! Thanks for the ping, and for representing us from FR.
I look forward to reading the reports.
Stay safe! I hope to see you guys if you come to Florida....

Minutemen to strike back
Cross-country caravan hopes to foster supportJason Newell and Megan Blaney, Staff Writers
San Bernardino County Sun
On the heels of Monday's massive immigrant boycott, members of one high-profile group will fire up their RVs, cars and trucks today to build momentum for the other side.
[FReeper] Lyman Stucky, of San Bernardino is driving the pace car
that is leading the Minuteman Project across the country to Washington DC
to ask the leaders to enforce the laws prohibiting illegal immigration.
The Minuteman Project will launch a cross-country caravan tour today in Los Angeles, hoping to stir national support for a crackdown at the border and spotlight the harmful effects of illegal immigration.From the time the caravan speeds through the Inland Empire to when it rolls into Washington, D.C., on May 12, participants say they hope to have energized voters and enlisted more members to their cause.
The Minuteman Project represents the "people in America who are tired of excuses and stalling and political issues getting in the way of our sealing the borders and enforcing the law," said Lyman Stucky, a San Bernardino man who will be leading the caravan in his 1970 Mercury Cougar. "We are demanding that our hired employees our public servants enforce the law and do what they were sworn to do."
Organizers expect about 100 staff members and supporters to set off from Los Angeles, with some expected to complete the entire trip...
