"No Illegals, No Burritos"

This clever sign from yesterday's "protest/boycott" reads "No Illegals, No Burritos (You Better Think Twice America)."

I've thought about it.

I can live without burritos.

Take your illegal scum family and your stinking burritos with you on your way out of my country.

Adios, muchachos.

Yes, not the strongest threat.

There's always Chipotle.

Hi Aaron,

This is a startling softening of you attitude to illegal immigrants from this post. If you carry on moving at this rate on this issue you'll be marching with them within the month.

I think (as I'm sure you appreciate) the real message was no burritos, no-one to mow your lawns, no-one to tidy your houses, no-one to mop your hospital floors, no-one to take your rubbish away, no-one to wash up in your restaurants, no-one to provide cheap child care, no-one to work in your agriculture etc.

With prices going up in the US due to dependence on oil and especially foreign energy supplies - you might find foreign imports and domestic produce both going up quite a lot in the near future. Perhaps now might not be the time to get rid of your cheap labour.

OK there are a number of interesting threads discussing this in detail - but from the point of view of making a point on a sign in a rally this guy seems to have done a pretty good job. Perhaps someone should offer him a vacancy in advertising - oh that won't happen will it, tell him to get back to his sink until you're tired of him and throw him and his "illegal scum family" out of there.

My it's fine to be the child of an immigrant, rather than an immigrant themselves. I wonder if the native Americans asked for their country back what your sign say.

No European immigrants - no 200 years of oppression?

Me, I'd have a burrito and hope nobody starts asking awkward questions.

Demagoguery.

The problem is not that they are immigrants, but that they are illegal.

Hi MJ,

Of course who could forget the many paintings of the immigration office at Plymouth Rock.

Wampanoag Indian - "May I see your papers"

Pilgrim - "Why yes. Here they are - we are legal immigrants you understand. By the way we'll be needing some grain to tide us through winter."

Wampanoag Indian - "Certainly, and in exchange you'll be wanting all our land, to descimate our culture and to marginalise us."

Pilgrim - "Now don't forget we'll be wanting you to speak our language, worship our God and take care of these small pox blankets for us."

Wampanoag Indian - "Why thank you, you have a nice three and a half centuries do you hear."

Demagoguery - no I don't think so. I can see some hypocrisy though. I wonder how many Americans are children of illegal immigrants. And given Kerry's very interesting research on the ethnicity of who was allowed to immigrate legally, I'd ask some serious questions about what right the present European descendants have to comment on the illegal immigration of others at this present time.

there are plenty of legal immigrants as well so the sign is really stupid.

1) Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock were not U.S. citizens. They were citizens of the Crown.

I hereby demand you take all the Mexicans into England and allow them to slaughter you as fair recompense for what you did to them.

2) Sorry, I don't play the '200 year old grievance' game. If I did, I'd be painting my face blue, wearing a kilt, and trying to blow up 10 Downing Street.

While we're at it, since I'm part Czech, maybe I ought to lobby Vaclav Klaus to get him to invade Germany.

3) Didn't your mum ever inform you that 2 wrongs do not make a right?

4) Regardless of who was or wasn't 'legal' 200 years ago, I am a legal citizen. Illegal aliens are not. This is what gives me the right to comment upon it, and I shall continue undaunted.

I really don't give a rats ass what happened 200 years ago. Immigration policy in the US is the US' sole business, and anyone who thinks they have a 'right' to come here is sorely mistaken.

And they'd best stop drudging up dead history lest I Remember the Alamo and do the same.

Hey while we're at it, most of the first pilgrims to the US came either because they were being thrown out of the UK or fleeing religious oppression there.

So we'll give the US back to Mexico ASAP.

I _DO_ hope you have room for 240 million loud-mouthed cowboys to drive SUVs around Wales.

Speaking of SUV's I saw 6 Mexa-skins driving obnoxiously in one the other day. I called Highway Patrol and told them they were driving erratically and throwing beer cans out the truck.

About 15 minutes later I saw them pulled over down the road. Since none of them are legal the cop would have to call Immigration, who would send them back to the cesspool whence they came.

Much less of my tax money goes to welfare sucking parasite asses!

Schweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Wow. It's amazing how racist and hateful you people are.

Seriously, has anyone done a psychological study on the 'troll' phenominon? Especially, any that reflect on the overwhelming tendecy of trolls to be leftists? The ratio of left-troll to right-troll is like 132-1.

It does spark my curiosity.
