Thread: Illegal immigrants say:"We Are America"

Roberto Reveles, chairman of We Are America, another group promoting the boycott, declined to say how many people he thinks will participate in Monday's boycott, but he hopes the number will be significant.

But random interviews conducted in downtown Phoenix with a dozen immigrants on the street suggest there is significant support. Almost all said they planned to support the boycott.

Juan Ocampo, a 34-year-old landscaper, said he plans to stay home from work Monday and not spend money. Rosa Guerrero, who owns Taqueria 3 Amigos on 16th Street in Phoenix, said she will close her business for the day in support of the boycott.

"Mexicans work so hard here in the United States," said Maria de la Luz Arroyo, 57, who plans to refrain from spending money on Monday. "We need immigration reform that gives undocumented immigrants amnesty."

Thousands around the country will join those in Phoenix with demonstrations, boycotts and rallies.

I'm so upset to hear that illegal immigrants say: " We are America". Why they don't put their lives on the line like the legal immigrants and the natives are doing in Irak ? No...!!...they are against fighting for America their only interest is to work "under the table" and send our money to their countries. While we have millions of US citizens scrambling to get a half decent paying job, thanks to their cheap labor !!

You are NOT America! And, NO YOU CAN't!

Do you realize how stupid you sound walking the streets chanting "yes, we can!"

Idiots!

Get some basic education and you'll know you are NOT America. No nationality, race, ethnic group who enters the country by anything other than proper channels is an ALIEN!

Change your chant to "WE ARE ALIENS!"

I saw them carrying a sign that read "we are your future voters". I wish we had a 'barf' icon! But this will do for now cause I'm nauseated..

Over my dead body.
