Aztlan promised massive civil disobedience and "non-cooperation" if things don't go their way in the Congress. Well....things didn't go their way.

Maybe they need to hear from us about their planned disruptions. Not that I believe they can get the people our there again...

Forces of xenophobia lose US Senate vote on cloture

Anti-immigrant organizations suffered a defeat today on the
floor of the US Senate. The vote was for re-opening debate
on the immigration reform bill that just two and a half weeks ago
seemed doomed. The vote was 64 for reviving the bill and 35
against. One Senator did not vote.

"Immigrants are the strength of this country, and this legislation
honors that fact," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.),
who along with Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), was instrumental
in reviving the bill. The Senate vote now sets the stage for a
contentious battle concerning amendments and a final vote on
the bill. If the bill clears the Senate it will go the House of
Representatives.

Pro-immigrants organizations are prepared to take the battle to the
streets if things come to worse. Among the strategies proposed
are "non-cooperation" and "massive civil disobedience". These
actions will be combined with work stoppages and economic
boycotts of strategic products and services.
