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.

There wouldn'd be immigration laws without good reason. Disease, overpopulation, terrorist threats, all are good enough reasons for me.\r\n\r\nAs 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.\r\n\r\nIn the meantime, we should put the troops on the borders, especially the southern border.\r\n\r\nThen, in five years, we could start allowing a reasonable, sustainable number of immigrants to come to America.
