Today I was able to drive to work much faster than usual. Because traffic was lighter. I stopped at a McDonald’s and noticed Americans working there that I never saw before. Usually the staff is 100% Latino. Why was today different from most days and actually EASIER than normal? Because Georgia has passed a new anti-illegal immigration bill and many Latinos have decided that it is a case of Latinos against Georgia. Instead of many of the vocal and legal Latinos siding with efforts to prevent illegal immigration, they are trying to paint the entire issue as anti-immigrant and anti-Latino in general. So Latino activists actorvists asked all Latino’s to take the day off. Not to work or shop at all. They have made a concerted effort to try and cripple the state’s economy for the day. There are some legal Latinos that are against this form of protest, but obviously a very large number of Latinos both legal and illegal are participating. I think it’s great and they need to simply leave if they take issue with enforcement against illegals. They have not crippled the state. Traffic was lighter and we can do fine without those who wish to skirt America’s rules for entering this country.
House approves illegal immigration bill
|
As you can see, this bill is not even that “tough” of an anti-illegal immigrant bill. And just the same it has caused a stir. Check out this video report of how many Latinos organized their “day off” protest. (If you can’t view the video report a text report is here, but has less details.)
The Latino community is making a critical error in trying to make this a Latinos versus everyone else issue. It will cause Georgians to 2nd guess even the legal Latino immigrants. Who wants to do business with someone that may decide at a moment’s notice not to work? It would be counter-productive to consumers to do business with any store that decides to take a day off every time the owners’ illegal friends don’t get their way.
Given this weak bill resulted in such a response, I hope more tougher bills are passed in the future. At this rate, we might be able to resolve the issue of illegal immigration, by them leaving on their own. Simply because we made the environment too uncomfortable for them to stay.
