Turn ourselves in!
 
What if we all just turned ourselves in at once? What if we all just stopped working, going to school, paying our bills and turned ourselves in to the authorities?

If I was Canada I would take all the illegals from the US and put them to work. It's modern day slavery if you think about it. Why not take all these people, give them a path to citizenship and exploit them legally? Dumb them down with fluoride int he water, bombard them with entertainment and television and have them work 9-5 jobs? Half-ass educate them in public schools, and tie them down to the responsibility of paying back the money they used to buy useless plastic shit.

I know I wouldn't do it. Some Dreamers don't have the option of going back home because they don't know anyone there, sometimes they don't even speak the language. Honestly, really? Really?!

It would be much better if we could organize to do boycotts - all illegal immigrants and those legal immigrants that support the cause. One week everyone boycotts Wal-Mart, for one full week everyone boycotts Shell Oil, for one week all boycott McDonalds, and so on. America would see just how important and indispensable we all are. This could go as far as boycotting work for a full week - just think how many businesses would have to close! However, most people are unwilling to do this, and without the support of the media, it would be very hard. But on the same note, if African-Americans had not taken extreme measures, who knows how long they would have waited for their freedom. Maybe is time to become radical...

What we would need to do is have major word of mouth. I mean if we called hispanic radio stations and asked them to get word out, it would work! We would need a website JUST for the boycott. To let people know what our cause is and what we're boycotting this week. I mean, it doesn't need to be all 12 million but i needs to be a very decent amount.

lol.. Yeah, there's NO way I would turn myself in.

But the boycotting is a really good idea.. like when everyone didn't go to work for a day or something like that.

It would have to be a lot of people though.. or else, there's not going to be much difference and nobody's going to notice.

It'd be cool if we could boycott like shopping or spending ANY money for one day, not just Walmart. It would make an impact and save us money. :-)

I like the boycotting idea. We could also start an immigrant's wall-mart for all our needs. We buy in wholesale and distribute it. Even if we need to spend a little more, all the profits go to fund the political/social movement.
