The frustration of the anti-immigrant law of Arizona, that threatens with being extended to a dozen states —Arkansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Utah—, and by the inaction of the Congress to enact a bipartisan immigration reform bill, has regrouped hundreds of community organizations, religious and union labor, in favor of a day of civil disobedience, that has as a tenative date of May 29.

The consensus in favor of this day. that would add to the boycott against Arizona, was confirmed yesterday by Frank Sharry, executive director of America's Voice, an organization that maintains its fight in favor of immigration reform for this year.

IF THERE IS ANY VIOLENCE Frank Sharry, executive director of America's Voice and ALL ORGANIZERS need to be ROUNDED UP and let the TRIALS BEGIN

Civil disobedience is mostly about public relations there are ways of handling their actions that would wind up getting the momentum going in our favor.

a day of civil disobedience, that has as a tenative date of May 29

A "tentative date"......what in the hell is that supposed to mean? You've either got the numbers to get this off the ground or you don't. And you obviously don't when something is tentative.

You know what.....let them do whatever it is they THINK they're going to do and be done with it already, shall we?

This is almost becoming embarassing to watch........

I've been considering an act of civil disobedience myself. There are many minor infractions of law that can get one a ticket here in NYC. I've been thinking of entering the subway system and lighting a cigarette in front of an officer. Of course that day I will not have any ID on my person. I will not give my name, address or SS# etc (well not my real ones). I would have a friend video it all.

What would happen? I wonder.

Hope ICE is listening...

RB the Police would be more than happy to arrest you at the same time if you show up at their civil disobedience events which are pre publicised. You can go to them and demand to picked up too.

The friday before the Memorial Day weekend - how appropriate.

LOL I don't want to be in a holding cell surrounded by the opposition.

This appears to be a retake of the talk during the Bush amnesty and Dream Act push of a general Hispanic uprising... what Hispanics refer to as a " Hispanic infantada". If you research it, the Latin America media talks about an infantada all the time.

There were Hispanic columnists in the US writing that unless these laws were passed, their community would feel so frustrated that they would take to the streets in a violent eruption. Ruben Navarrette was one. Andres Oppenheimer of the Miami paper was another. He wrote.

The rapid escalation of the U.S. anti-immigration hysteria — fueled by ratings-hungry cable-television hotheads and leading Republican presidential hopefuls — is a dangerous trend: It may lead to a Hispanic intifada that may rock this nation in the not-so-distant future.
Remember the Palestinian intifada of the early 1990s, when thousands of frustrated young Palestinians took to the streets and threw stones at Israeli troops? Remember the French intifada of the summer of 2005, in which disenfranchised Muslim youths burned cars and stores in the suburbs of Paris?

If we are not careful, we may see something similar coming from the estimated 13 million undocumented immigrants in the United States, most of them Hispanic, who are increasingly vilified in the media, forced further into the underground by spineless politicians and not given any chance to legalize their status by a pusillanimous U.S. Congress.

It looks like the Hispanic supremists have dusted off their old playbook.
