Will the "Immigrant Boycott" shut down any airports?

The invasion is on-going.

| What is up with Kalifornians, anyway?
|
| They are close to the Mexico border. You can expect more
immigrants in
| California than Iowa.
|
| Actually, we've got our share. There is a town about 15
miles east of
| Iowa City called "West Liberty" that has quite literally
been taken
| over by Mexicans, in the last 9 years.
|
| In my former business (newspaper distribution) I used to
get out there
| every few weeks, and it was an amazing transformation to
observe.
| First one of the stores posted their signage in Spanish,
then another
| -- then they ALL went Spanish.
|
| This, of course, was quite a shock for a small farming
community -- but
| the turkey processing plant was like a magnet to the
illegals. Hard
| work, cash payout, no strings attached. They could make
more in a day
| there than in a month at home. Why the INS didn't just
shut that plant
| down, I'll never know.
|
| The school system was the first to fail, naturally. Kids
that don't
| speak any English simply don't fit into a traditional
school system --
| especially one that doesn't fully appreciate the magnitude
of the
| changes facing it, and is slow to react -- and teaching
simply stopped
| happening. This was followed by gangs, and weapons, and
(of course)
| drugs.
|
| A downward spiral set in, as everyone who could leave,
did. Only the
| stubborn, the very old, and those who were able to somehow
capitalize
| on the newcomers, have stayed.
|
| The last time I drove through there, the town -- once a
depressed
| little farm community, like so many others in Iowa -- had
been
| essentially transformed into Little Mexico.
|
| In fairness, in some ways it's now more vibrant -- but
what a culture
| shock for those who called it "home"! And the crime and
education
| problems are now deep-rooted, and not easily solved.
|
| Anyway, Iowa has seen its share of illegal immigration,
but NOTHING
| like the LA Times described.
|
| It's just so sad. California -- Southern California,
specifically, was
| the land of my dreams, as a youth. To see that area to
thoroughly and
| utterly ruined is just...wrong.
