A day without a Mexican

Re: A day without a Mexican

Lol. What's that? Two people banned now in this thread? I'm sure there'd be many more illegal Asian immigrants streaming into America if they didn't have the Pacific Ocean between them. I don't care how many immigrants come, as long as they're legal.

Legal. That's all. I get my haircuts at this Cambodian barbershop. The lady plans to go back after she's saved up enough money and buy a nice house. I say props. Go for it. Why not?

It would be interesting what history books say about this 30 years from now.

Re: A day without a Mexican

I called up my girlfriend after she got out of school and asked her about it (I didn't go to school). She said that practically all of her classes were pretty much empty. Although that whole thing is just basically about location. Maybe at Granite junior high (predominantly white; a neighboring school) there wasn't so much an effect.

I went to the same high school as Grandiagod and I do live in a community where mexicans are in the majority. I just havent noticed any difference yet.

Re: A day without a Mexican

while I'd hesitate to call it a media "stunt" there's no way the group who organized this actually thought that this would have a measurable impact on the economy. The idea was to raise awareness, and it certainly did that. Whether there will be a backlash or not is yet to be seen.

I didn't mean that it would have an immediate effect on the economy, I meant in the long run it would. Backlash? what kind of backlash are you talking about?

Well, if many companies follow through with their threat to fire anyone who didn't show up today, I'd call that a backlash.

didn't think about that

I wonder what will happen to me tomorrow at shool since I didn't go to school today.:/

Re: A day without a Mexican

that's not what I meant at all. the backlash is that the rallies will appear more politically motivated than not as the group that organized this day is an anti-bush group and bush was kind of on the immigrant's side (I think) regarding the legislation in Congress. dunno. Something like that. Got that out of the BBC story on it.

also just a general backlash in opinion about the issue, really. as in "oh you guys all quit working well now we are less inclined to tell our congresspeople to pass legislation that would benefit you".

Bush is in favor regarding the legislation in congress. Sad thing is that a lot of the people don't know what the hell their doing. they think this is "anti-american" or "Bush is kicking us out let's do something" which it's not. I agree with what you say though.

Why, thank you for your input. I hope you enjoy not visiting the forums.

MC: that is the issue I take with these protests. Half or more of the people out there don't know what the hell they're fighting. High schools in this area have sponsored assemblies/rallies where students and teachers can discuss what's going on in an open forum and actually UNDERSTAND what it is people are protesting.

And either no one participated in protests in Waco or there are WAY fewer Mexicans here than I thought.

Re: A day without a Mexican

Wow, there's a whole lot of banned in this thread.

I feel like I'm looking at a GameFAQs thread that's over two years old.

(To the 2 guys I banned) Posting insults in here directed at me will not make your ban go away. It will just get you IP banned at the firewall.

Cheers,
