Do you think the Mexicans made a mistake? Did it backfire?
 

All the reports I get from states with high populations of Mexicans like California and Texas seems to say that the residents ENJOYED the day without Mexicans.

I know there was a massive rally down Broadway here in NY but other than that life went on as usual. My favorite burrito place, Chipotle, is staffed by white and black people. The burritos were made as usual and they were tasty as ever.

Here's an article from the Bay area on the subject

But, I'm here in NY so I can't really feel the effects like in other places. A day without Puerto Ricans would have much more of an impact up here! LOL

What do you think?

omg, theres more puertoricans here than there are in all of puetro rico:1orglaugh and if they stopped working it wouldn't have any effect at all since none of them have jobs to begin with:1orglaugh

i kid!!!!!!!! i kid!!!!!!! i love puerto rico:pimp

What does the 4th option mean in English?

Not sure if most of you are aware of this, but this entire country was built by immigrants and Mexicans aren't the only "illegal" immigrants living in this country now. It really annoys me to hear and read all this ignorance.

I couldn't care less what the mexicans do. I'm not interested in competing with them for a job of picking apples. the more brown people around, the better...I just wish that they would learn fucking english..

I've been here in Puerto rico for only two weeks and I'll bet I spoke more spanish in those two weeks than some mexicans have spoken english in America EVER.

I agree with the Processing Princess, mostly because she's cute, but also because she makes a good point.

Immigrants definately founded this country, but it's certainly changed since then.
I think where the mexican day stand off in california failed is their lack of support of legal immigrants and more importanly none hispanic support.

Ont thing that pissed me of was there was about 2000 of them walking down the road last night downtown when I was trying to drive home from work after staying late at 8 pm at night.

Obviously immigrants built this country. I'm not anti Mexican in the least.

Mexicans should be able to do what they want in this country... as long as they go through the process. I can't work in this country without going through the process, which includes school and learning to speak english, so why should anyone else. There's plenty of Mexican/Chinese/Polish/Russian/Japanese Americans that know this and have done this. The illegals should follow suit.

They do jobs that no one else will so I think it's to our advantage to change the system and make the process more effective.

no doubt

Ok let the illegals stay but we gotta be able to tax them, thats the american way! Wonder if they will still complain?

I think they need to chill. They are already illegal and all us libs back there asses, now they are just getting stupid. If they are gonna be here, they better be working!! :2 cents:

Actually Mexicans are all like half native americans, so they are more american than us. Too bad the indians lost those wars long ago :(

Amen brotha. Sing da chorus!

underlay underlay :thumbsup

It was also built by white people for white people, they even said it themselves. So what makes one fact of history more important than the other? Because it's PC to spit out the same shit about immigration all day long? It has no relevance to the facts of the matter.

It will have little to no effect. People won't even remember it in two weeks.

they said it caused problems with no janitors in schools, but that was about it ahaha

that was cnn!

Yes, this country was built by LEGAL immigrants. Is this hard for you to understand for some reason?
:1orglaugh

Wasn't really noticed in NY at all...maybe in other states, but here it was like a few lawn guys weren't working and that's about it.

According to some brain Newsweek dug up, it had 0 impact.

It's too soon to know isn't it? If the idea was to show economic power, then we need some data to see how much productivity fell, spending fell etc etc.
