Illegals have boycotted the U.S. to "show us how much we need them." I am glad, because I don't buy it. I don't buy that the apples they pick make up for what they do to our health care costs, prison populations, school systems, etc.

Here is an excerpt from an article that discusses what we would REALLY lose if we went a day without illegals...

What would that May 1st look like without illegal immigration? There would be no one to smuggle across our southern border the heroin, marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines that plague the United States, reducing the U.S. supply of meth that day by 80%. The lives of 12 U.S. citizens would be saved who otherwise die a violent death at the hands of murderous illegal aliens each day. Another 13 Americans would survive who are otherwise killed each day by uninsured drunk driving illegals. Our hospital emergency rooms would not be flooded with everything from gunshot wounds, to anchor babies, to imported diseases to hangnails, giving American citizens the day off from standing in line behind illegals. Eight American children would not suffer the horror as a victim of a sex crime.

On the negative side, the price of a pound of tomatoes might go up from $0.79 to $0.80. That is unless you have a garden. But I'm guessing that the Mexican drug lords are not taking May 1st off. Neither will the 11,000 illegal invaders that pour over our border every other day of the year. It is a safe bet that the U.S. Border Patrol will have a very busy "Nothing Gringo Day."

You know what else is wrong here? An illegal immigrant can have their college tuition paid for, but I can't have mine paid for. They said that my parents make too much money (around $50k per year). So much for the gov't looking out for middle class amreicans! They'd rather pay for some illegal. And I've never broken a law!!!!!!!!

Then there's your problem!!! Which was my problem (I'm 1/4 Iroquois, 2/4 White). I'm telling you, the system IS racist. Trying to keep the white man down, or woman in your case.
