Putting Their Money, Where Their Mouth Is

The Hispanic population have specified May 1, as a national day of protest. Since our economy supposedly depends on the backs of the Hispanic population, we will get a chance to see. This in essence qualifies as a strike of sorts. They aren't going to work that day, whatever their occupation. I don't think the legal immigrants are going to take that chance. How do you deal with strikers? You do what's best for the company. If we look at America as a company, must we have the illegal worker? We might want them, but we don't need them. If what many people say is true, this will be a tell all. On May 1, the American economy will come to a screeching halt. I don't think so, I think they're bluffing. They know it, but they think we don't.I know my city isn't representative of places like Los Angeles Cal. or San Antonio Tx., but I seldom cross paths with someone of Hispanic decent. Except I have a neighbor, I see three or four times a week. Like I see my other neighbors,both Black and White. I've always asked this question, now we'll see. I never believed three out of four immigrants were illegal anyway. If that's true, they shouldn't be working to begin with. I would think that would be taking a chance. To not show up for a job, you're not supposed to have anyway. That puts the ball squarely on the court of the employers.

Now for the counterattack, for those who feel victimized by the Hispanics presence. This is what I suggest they do in response. When they go to protest, you report for duty. Show up for the jobs, they don't report for on that day. If those companies refuse to hire you. Then you refuse, to buy that companies products. That would be making a sacrifice, and taking a stand as well. With all these claims of jobs being lost to immigrants. It shouldn't be very hard to single them out. Tyson Chicken for one, has planned to close that day. For lack of anticipated workers. If these workers aren't documented and paying taxes. Stop buying Hot Wings for a week, see how the meatpackers react. They secretly planned a demonstration, that drew a record crowd. Since they have forewarned us, of their next move. If they hold the jobs we really want, why not capitalize? Instead of joining them, they don't need or want you. Turn lemons into lemonade, this could work to our favor.I think if the truth is known, we don't depend on the Mexicans like we thought, or at least as much as we claim. What we need to do is show up at the protest, asking for green cards. The numbers are dwindling as we speak, at the thought of facing law enforcement. If they want to play hardball, let the games begin. It's a gamble for both sides. I don't think legal immigrants are willing to jeopardize their status. This immigration issue is tearing this country apart. Like the Mexicans, are we prepared to go, all or nothing?
