Looks like 1 May is the day to catch up on your shopping
Reuters covers the impending public display of 1/10th of Mexicans demanding to be Americans here.
On the one hand, that sounds like a fine thing: all those millions, that vast multitude willing to risk so much to be one of us. On the other hand, giving ultimatums and listing among your intentions that, "America's major cities will grind to a halt and its economy will stagger" are not the way to engender sympathy for your cause. Just wanted to throw that out there, you know, in case it wasn't blatantly obvious to anyone.
Reuters calls them "pro-immigration activists"; that's who will be taking to the streets on 1 May. "Pro-immigration activists".
That's funny, because every time Lady Lethal and I had to go wrestle with the INS over some bit of her paperwork- which always cost alot of $$, not to mention lost work time and travelling expenses, and disregarding the psychic toll of dealing with cold bureaucrats- I don't recall ever seeing a "pro-immigration" activist. Not anywhere near the JFK Building, the Government Center plaza, the Red Line, or the Green Line.
That's because all the pro-immigration people were inside the building, waiting in line.
