RE: Protest
It has alot of titles as of yet, but where I'm located they are calling it the Mexican walk out..... The hispanic comunity the majoity and other (illegal) immigrants or what they say as undocumented, are walking out of thier work and schools to show what an impact to are economy they could make if they where deported or that we would not servive without them. They are demanding rights for illegal immigrants this is the reason behind the protest. This is not written to offend anyone just posting what I gathered from the news media and sharing it, if I did offend anyone I apologize.
Kinda in a nut shell thats the best way I can describe it, but ya need to see it first hand.

RE: Protest
Every one here is an immigrant or the family of an immigrant unless you are a Native American Indian. I personally think it is fine to have immigration reform, were not going to get rid of them and if they were legal they could file tax returns and pay actual taxed. 95% of them do not contribute to taxes and it would help if they did.
It would also be nice if they would speak the native language and that should be a requirement to get a guest worker card or citizenship. They interviewed a man how owned a business here in LA on Broadway and he was saying that he has been here for 16 years working and being a citizen, he spoke in Latin. After 16 years he is obviously not concerned or just does not care about learning English.
It is differently a hot topic and should be interesting to see how it all plays out. I feel you are welcome to come to our country but come to be an American not anything else, speech the language and become a productive citizen.
One more thing, please do not come here and fly your old countries flag and preach how you are better than us because you come for what ever other country, remember if it was such a great place to be from you would still be there!
