The Squeaky Wheel Gets the Greencard?

The Latino community is a bunch of whiners. What a bunch of entitled crybabies. And what's more, this "Day Without Immigrants" is mislabled and racist. How can legal immigrantsof Latin descent find solidarity with illegals? It's a different thing entirely. And it's not a day without immigrants. It's a day without illegal latino migrant or low wage workers. Their boycott may make things a minor nuisance but it will hardly have the impact they think it will. Their leaders have misplayed their hand. They are negotiating from a position of weakness and this day of demonstration will show that. This isn't going to have any effect on the economy. A successful boycott takes months. Nothing happens in a day.

Compare this with the Chinese immigrants of NYC's Chinatown. CNN reports that they are all showing up to work either unware or unconcerned with the rally. Apparently they are all too busy to worry about such a thing. I havr an idea. We reward the illegal aliens who actually went to work on May 1 with greencards instead of the crybabies and whiners. Wouldn't that be something.

I haven't placed much thought into this immigration issue because it seems to be an issue of enforcement rather than legislation. Illegal aliens are illegal. That's all there is too it. We might let you stay but you don't get to make trouble. Create a problem like this, block traffic on the way to work, inconvenience me in any way and I'll ship your ass home. Consider your time here probationary. It would be truly bold to have the INS show up at the rallies to check green cards. After all, you got them all in once place. Problem with enforcement? Not now.

It's really just the sense of entitlement that bugs me. Rights are for citizens who have earned them. Not for freeloaders who haven't contributed to the Country.

Happy May Day. May Day is Lei in Hawaii.
