Dec. 12-Shut Down CA in Support of SB60

by Angelina Tuesday, Dec. 02, 2003 at 6:26 AM
zeenick99@netscape.net

Calling all, immigrants and immigrant rights supporters to show solidarity on Dec. 12th, 2003 Shut Down CA in Support of SB60, which would have allowed undocumented residents of the state to acquire a driver's license.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12-

 

There will be a statewide work stoppage/buy nothing day in protest of the imminent repeal of SB60, which would have allowed our "undocumented" brothers and sisters the right to drive without threat of deportation in California. 

 

Don't go to work, school, or buy anything that day, as part of a statewide effort to shut down the CA economy that day. 

 

Spread the word...

Undocumented residents go home!

..."illegal".

As in people who thought the rules didn't apply to them.

Actually, SB60 would be a good way of identifyling them. When they show up at the DMV and cannot provide proof of citizenship, send 'em back where they came from.

If they want to come back, let 'em follow the established rules and procedures and do it legally.

Normally I would post something about America being a land of immigrants and that we ought to allow people who come in search of a better life pursue it. But since I´m responding to xenophobic conservatives, I'll put it in terms you understand: selfish greed.

The last thing we need is more unlisenced drivers on our freeways. You anti-immigrant folk should pay for my car insurance going up because of this law.

by nonanarchist0600 Wednesday, Dec. 03, 2003 at 11:08 AM

My family's been here since around 1750 or so.

I think that qualifies me for citizen status.

I'm not against immigration; I'm against illegal immigration.

Big difference.

"The last thing we need is more unlisenced drivers on our freeways."

Agreed. That's why the illegals need to be deported.

"You anti-immigrant folk should pay for my car insurance going up because of this law."

You leftists whould stop whining and pay your own way, instead of insisting others pay for you.

1750 huh

by We´re all immigrants Wednesday, Dec. 03, 2003 at 2:36 PM

So did your family have to go through the same nonsense that immigrants today have to go through to get citizenship? And since when does getting here earlier than the next family give you more of a right to be considered a citizen? I could trace a relative back to the mayflower, but I wouldnt say that that makes me more entiltled to citizenship than someone whose relatives got here in 1750.

And I don´t mind paying my own car insurance. But get real, taking away peoples lisences wont deport anyone, it´ll just make the freeways more unsafe.

"1750"

by Max Wednesday, Dec. 03, 2003 at 7:16 PM

America wasn't even a sovereign nation in 1750. Hell, they didn't frame the Declaration of Independence until 1776. There were no "citizens" back then.

And a lot has changed since the days of Lewis and Clark. There wouldn'd be immigration laws without good reason. Disease, overpopulation, terrorist threats, all are good enough reasons for me.

As far as I'm concerned, we should immediately cease allowing immigrants into America and have a moratorium for the next five years. Sort of, a cooling off period.

In the meantime, we should put the troops on the borders, especially the southern border.

Then, in five years, we could start allowing a reasonable, sustainable number of immigrants to come to America. I'd say maybe 100,000 per year.

... so are your simple views.

Are you going to write a book soon? The title could be "My simple views on world problems", by Max Simple. I would love to see it prefaced by Ann Coulter. If you feel generous, some of the proceeds could go to the improvement of education in America.

How's that , Max?

Whoever you are, you're either a left-winger or an anarchist, which means you're a fucking fruitcake who believes himself to be more intelligent than the rest of us.

Let me ask you buddy-boy, if you're so fucking bright, how come you and people like you ain't running the show?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm??????????

I apologize if the questioning of your intelligence caused you to type "sdlkj" in a spasm. All adjacent letters on the keyboard, not very original.

Rest assured, in sight of your pathetic postings, I have no doubt to have the upper hand over you when it comes to smarts. Not that I am that good, it's just the kind of repetitious drivel you've been posting on IMC gives away your very limited capacity and doesn't challenge anybody's IQ.

See, using profanity doesn't impress anybody; keep this for your buddies and your mama. You also believe that calling people "buddy-boy" gives you a sense of social superiority; don't get confused, IMC is not the bar scene. I won't elaborate on the simple categorizations you seem so keen on, these are the tiresome staple of the reactionary blowhards that litter IMC.

I am not sure if you realize that you are strutting your mediocrity as if it were a virtue... it's morbidly fascinating.

Carry on,

You're obviously not nearly as smart as you think yourself to be, because I didn't post the above comment to which you responded.

But thanks for the entertainment value, chump.

You know, we once had a pompous ass, much the same as you, here on LA-IMC. He would post his drivel under the moniker "Diogenes", as if he was some sort of great philosopher/pedagogue.

He'd spend his days here, gamming it up with his America hating buddies, and claiming sole rights on having "the upper hand ... when it comes to smarts. "

But in the longrun, good old Dingo couldn't hang. He eventually proved himself to be just another buffoon.

You won't see him posting around here anymore, because he finally realized he wasn't as smart as he'd like to have been.

So don't just sit there and be a pompous ass, Tom. If you're so much smarter than me, feel free to prove it. You won't hurt my feelings any.

I merely come here to laugh at you and you ilk.

And I've been doing it for a long, long time.

But tomorrow, you'll be a vapor.

Sincerely, you buddy.

Max

I'm not Max, you fucking idiot! And I've been doing this (lksjfj, lksjdflkj, ;'ljfoi) for years. Pay attention.

>Rest assured, in sight of your pathetic postings, I have no doubt to have the upper hand over you when it comes to smarts. Not that I am that good, it's just the kind of repetitious drivel you've been posting on IMC gives away your very limited capacity and doesn't challenge anybody's IQ.

Max can think circles around you. And besides, we're not here for your benefit, you're here for ours. It's called EV (Entertainment Value). You say stupid left-wing and anarchist BS, and we laugh at and belittle you. Get with the program, son.

>You also believe that calling people "buddy-boy" gives you a sense of social superiority

I AM superior to you, so why shouldn't I treat you that way? Exactly. That's why I do.

And once again, no one can answer the question. If you're so damn smart, why aren't you running the joint? I got no problem answering for you in your name, just ask around. So, pop to the EV or move along. You're eating up useful bandwidth that can be used for whacko conspiracy theories or the "Bush is Hitler" comedy hour crap.
