This protest will not work in this country because too many of us have way too much to lose if you get arrested. You don't even have to resist arrest, they will and are tacking on extra charges if you get arrested. It is usually your word against theirs and you will need a good lawyer to get off. So just to get out of jail could cost you a lot of $$$ and your career if you have one. People I work with have been stopping by the wall street protest and the police just keep everyone crowded into that park area. The media will start treating them like villains once they get more traction. The current administration will make you the bad guy if you act out away from the norm. Similar how they treated the tea party movement. They will make up some name to call the wall street protesters that sounds crazy. Remember your supposed to not question the government and be herded like sheep. Immigrants in this country don't question the government and are just happy to stay here...so they will allow them to stay here legal/or not and keep open boarders. My wife is Japanese/an immigrant here under 10 years and totally clueless about whats going on and really could care less. But she is damn happy to be here and pay a lot of taxes.
These protests worked in nations that are 3rd world nations where people are peasants with no money and zero to lose.
