In 1886, immigrant workers marched for their rights in Chicago, helping to create what quickly became perhaps the most global of holidays, a holiday for the international working class to march together in struggle. In 2006, May Day was resurrected in its hometown, when immigrant workers marched for their rights in Chicago again, in the largest demonstration of any sort that this city had ever seen. While in nearly every major city in the world workers had come to celebrate the anniversary of the Chicago march of 1886, the celebrations had been nothing in Chicago until International Workers Day this year.
The contrasts abound, of course, but they are more style than substance. In 1886, the immigrants were Europeans, and were led by anarchists and socialists. Today, the majority of the immigrants were Latin Americans or Latinos, though thousands of Asians, Europeans, and Africans represented as well, and the politics of the marchers is far wider and generally centrist. But in 1886, immigrant workers marched for their rights, and one hundred twenty years later we marched again.
Chicago is an immigrant city, so battles for both immigration rights and workers power have been dead, but a recent assault on specifically Latin American immigrants has awoken this giant. Television news has for the past few years railed daily on an imagined ‘invasion’ of our border, successfully conjuring up a sense of war and hatred in viewers (so much for the myth of the liberal media). There has also been a clear effort to focus the debate for European-Americans onto the evidence that they will be a minority in decades to come and their culture will no longer be dominant in the country, fomenting racism amongst viewers and readers.

Source. Read the rest here

Thought this might motivate some discussion. This is just the first part, read the rest.
 
The entire article is moot. It makes no distinction between legal immigrants and illegal aliens.
 
Oh Man! Another one using my signature! Haha... :lol:

It is THAT good though...n'est pa?
 
That article is stupid at best, and ignorant lies at worst. According to your stupid article it is racist becaused Euro-Americans do not want their country to be overtaken by lantinos? lol

Euro-Americans built this country and if Euro-Americans want to remain the majority in their country then they have every right to and we of course will. We are never going to give up our majority to racist hispanics who think they have some right to infest our country by the millions simply because Euro-Americans built a successful society like all Europeans have and the hispanics have built another 3rd world nation(Mexico) as they always have.

There are only 2 kinds of people who support a mexican invasion of the US. Auto-racist whites and hispanics.

Whatever that article said the vast majority of Asians, American Indians, Blacks, and Whites oppose the shifting of political control from Euro-American hands to that of 3rd world Mexicans.

Under Euro political control and social control every single nation under European majority has enjoyed success and stability. Do you think that Asians, Blacks, American Indians, and especially Euro-Americans don't realize this?

Do you actually think they'd be stupid enough to hand political control over from the group of people who have made society stable,safe, and successful, to a group of people who cannot even fix their own country, so decide instead to invade someone elses and demand to become a citizen of it?

Don't make me laugh. This article is as pathetic as they come.

Ok bayano. You can only have one screen name. This should be flagged so the mods can check the IP of this user and see if it matches bayano. What are the odds that some new person only posts a single post in the immigration forum on a topic that has hardly any posts.

Aparently the odds are pretty good. I'm not bayano, nor have I ever met bayano.
I do however owe you an apology. This was the first post of yours that I read (because I really am new to this site), and it struck me as pretty bigoted and racist. I have since read a lot of your other posts and can understand where you are coming from, and even agree with a lot of it. (and disagree) After reading them, I don't think of you as racist...just proud. So...I'm sorry.
Where we differ in opinion, (and what I should have stated in my previous post, instead of just leaving it at what I did) is legality vs invasion. And it' not really be a difference of opinion so much as a difference in priority of opinion. My main beef is the legality of the situation. You're main beef is a culture invasion (it seems to me).

Yes unfortunately I have that problem with almost everyone until they read many of my posts. I'm not racist. Though others have branded me a nazi in error, I do not wish to cause people to suffer. I simply wish to avert the suffering of my people because of others. If I have to make a choice between their suffering and the suffering of the people who were born into this country, I choose to save my fellow citizens first.

Though I have been very harsh in the immigration debate, I do blame corporations first and foremost. Corporations are amoral and do not care what races or cultures they pit against eachother. All they care about is if it will cause them to increase their profits. Our chief concern for the future should be the dismantlement of mega-corporations. All the social issues can directly be attributed to them.

They are the ones who outsource jobs. They are the ones who lure illegals to our country, they are the ones who profit billions off of not only low paid American jobs but sweatshops in China and many other countries as well. All the while they put on their charming commercial faces to let us know how wonderful they are when they would stab any one of us in the back first chance they get.

The future of American is directly tied to how we first handle the corporate takeover of our political structure, and second on how we handle the influx of illegals lured into this country by corporations. Their failure to assimilate in our country combined with the corporate power structure that is overtaking our political insitutions will be enough to destroy America both culturally and politically.
 
well, i think "pureraceoftheracistforms" or whatever your name is, i think you are a bigot and a racist. and i think youre also an asshole, attacking someone who disagreed with you as a fake (i.e. me as a different poster).
 
The true labor day is may 1st.

No true worker celebrates the may day in september. that was deliberatly made to deter workers from celebrating on may 1st.
