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.

The school was pretty chill today. Also the roads were a ton less crowded.

I'm suprised that this thread hasn't been locked yet. We don't have much problems with Illegal Immigration here in Australia, they can only get here one way, Boats. Our Coast guard usually picks them up as soon as they hit our waters. I can relate to your circumstance though we have alot of Asian migrants and i live right near one of the more prodominate onclaves of Asains and Muslims.

Re: A day without a Mexican

I would LOVE to see a bunch of people getting fired/otherwise disciplined for skipping out on work like this.

However, that has more of a point than missing school for it. Seriously, were people actually dumb enough to skip school for something on which they would have no effect?

The only possible reason for that is to further raise awareness (like talisman stated), but to get together and miss school? Lame.

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

I find it funny.

I didn't notice anything different, but I live in Connecticut so I'm just a little bit far away from the issue. I don't think the economy would crumble from getting rid of all the illegal immigrant workers. There might be some inflation as talisman said, but inflation has been going on for a while now. That doesn't destroy the economy. If anything, it will make it harder on the illegal immigrants to purchase anything in this country. Especially if they aren't allowed to work without becoming a citizen. But what the hell do I know? I'm no economic specialist.

I have to agree with that. What's the point in skipping out on school for a day if it really isn't going to make a big effect on anything. I think for some of them this would just be a good excuse to cut school for the day and stay home.

Nope... this is me, stretchypanda

I'm only banned until 7:00 today, so it's not like it's worth it to cause any trouble.

Re: A day without a Mexican

You're probably going to be banned for longer now for ban evading.

Just warning you.

Sertman's right on this one. It's ONLY Mexicans.

EDIT: I must explain. The Mexicans are the only real people who are crossing into America. Of course, that's not 100% true, but mostly the southern states are fuelled by the Mexican blood of the workers... not illigal farm hands from... oh... Congo?

An internesting point: over 400 Mexicans die each year (on avg) trying to cross the border. On average, only 13 people would die each year by crossing to West Germany. Comments?

Re: A day without a Mexican

I wouldn't concider that as much as an immigration problem to America as Mexico is.

Re: A day without a Mexican

Only read the first page or so.

Here is my opinion, Mexicans should be forced to immigrate legally just like everyone else. What they are doing IS a criminal act. They do have the right to protest, but I don't believe they will accomplish anything. I am a Canadian immigrant to Canada, and it is simply NOT FAIR that I had to go through the legal immigration process and Mexicans might be able to get citizenship/green cards without going through it. If you don't know, it can take years to immigrate to the USA (My dad got a working visa, so we were able to live here while we applied for green cards) it took me two years to get my green card. In order to do this I had to travel between Canada and America at least 3 times, waiting at different embassies and offices in long lines.

Yet Mexicans say they should just be allowed to stroll in? This is extremely unfair. There is a reason that the immigration process to the US isn't the easiest thing in the world, but it is definately possible to do, in fact, tens, maybe even hundreds, of thousands do so every year! I am one of these people. I still have a few years to wait before I can become a citizen, and I fully plan to.
