[The Mysterious Q!]

Well let me inform you on how it is in my neck of the woods today. Well it started by my mason informing me that of his 25 man crew only 3 showed up to work today. I have a deadline on the job he's doing for me and this doesn't help. As I drove to get my coffee I passed several jobsites which are always bustling with workers looking abandoned. No machines running, no stone walls being built and no framers framing. When I got to the deli I noticed it was rather empty so I asked the owner "How's business today?" to which she replied "I have only rang out 23 dollars so far today." This is in a deli that usually has lines out the door and probably does $5000.00 a day in sales. So I guess the impact of this work stoppage or strike has proved it's point to me. It will cripple the trades around here and the value of the work now will drastically increase as demand for labor will increase due to a shortage in manpower. If the price of building goes up that means there are less people that will be able to afford the work. That really won't hold true to a point here being that I work in one of the richest areas of the country but the trickle down effect will sure be felt everyelse. I don't claim to have the answers but I do know we have to figure out something favorable for both sides or we are doomed for sure. The only question I raise with any political ramifications is that if an illegal uses a phonty social security number and his employewr pays taxes toward that number, what happens to the monies collected when the govt. finds out that its a bogus number or it doesn't match the name.It seems to go into the governmental abyss I guess. Well this is my .02.  Later,Q

My pops is off the boat and mom is 2nd generation so I guess i should have stayed home and rode its gorgeous out too

Unless your name is Pochahontas or Cohise, you're descended from immigrants. Thing is our ancestors were LEGAL. Sorry to hear about your job site Big D, sounds like you got more Mex workers to deal with than I do and I'm 20 miles from the border. S'anyway, I'm boycotting everything owned and run by Mexicans for the entire month of May and urging everyone else to do the same.

There you go Big B-- We'll have to do the same to Dunkin Donuts up here!!

[arcticdude]

That's not a bad idea- boycott the 5th of May celebrations at every mexican restaurant in the country.  Just maybe, they'll realize that without OUR money, they should go back to their own country.  The whole situations has only made me realize that I have no desire to travel into Mexico for any reason.  Since I've ridden to Alaska, I'd toyed with riding to the equator.  It ain't happening now.  My money stays home. period.

[EZRIDN]

I wouldn't worry too much...they'll all be back at work soon.  
Where else are the illegals going to find a gig as good as they've got?  
They sure as hell aren't going to head back South for work.


Though not politically correct...take out your temporary frustrations here:

Ain't that the truth.

I had a 4:30 that my receptionist called to confirm.  She was advised that they wouldn't be there as they were going to the local rally.  I guess that's more important than the state threatening to take away their kids.  They wanted to re-schedule to a more convenient time.  I declined because they hadn't bothered to call and it was to late to fill that slot.  Oh well!

This thread should have been titled Illegal Immigrant stike but be that as it may, sure was nice coming home on the SoCal freeways and only dealing with 1/2 the normal traffic. Maybe they can stay home every day. Actually, maybe they can just Go Home

you got the right idea there spider, but why stop at a month, and boycott all products
from mexico, that means no shots of tequila or Mescal, and definitely no corona's to wash down the salsa and chips, it just piss water anyway. Im mowing my own lawn from now on, and i'll even bus my own dishes next time i eat out at my favorite  American Resturant!
