Default Will the "Immigrant Boycott" shut down any airports?

Um, first of all...any illegal immigrant dumb enough to reveal their status
as an illegal by participating in a boycott by only illegal immigrants
deserves to get deported.


What a great idea! However, I don't think the vision of hundreds of
busses lined up, so that the protesting illegals can be promptly
shipped back home is what you had in mind?

Secondly, in this particular case, the boycott *is* by ALL immigrants, legal
or otherwise. I don't know if everyone who's replied so far just didn't
bother to read the news, or if they are reading news that sucks, but my news
sources are all in agreement that the proposed boycott is by all immigrants,
not just illegals.


Right. And Iran is building reactors to produce electricity.

Legal immigrants have NOTHING to protest. In fact, of the many legal
(recent) immigrants I know, ALL are directly and vehemently opposed to
ANY kind of "amnesty" for the illegals.

We're ALL "immigrants" to America, Pete. The purpose of this boycott
is to highlight the so-called "importance" of illegal aliens to our
economy, so that Congress doesn't "criminalize" (I LOVE that term --
as if it's not already criminal to be here illegally) being in this
country illegally. (This is almost a direct quote from a boycott
organizer that I just heard interviewed on NPR, by the way. We almost
died laughing...)
