We pride ourselves in the United States with having the freedom to protest, demonstrate and boycott in order to make our voices heard without fear of retribution. However, since you lawbreakers are are protesting and boycotting this Monday, perhaps you will answer a few questions for me:

1. Will illegal alien gangs cease their drug trade, violence and mayhem for at least one day? You know the gangs: MS-13, The Murder Unit, Border Brothers, La Gran Raza, La Gran Familia and others who prey on American citizens and LEGAL immigrants who are from Latin American countries. Will these tens of thousands of criminal aliens cease their illegal operations for one day?

2. Will the criminal aliens who are child sexual predators avoid contact with American children for that one day?

3. If any of you or your loved ones becomes ill or has an accident requiring medical attention, will you suck it up for one day and not use the American healthcare system? Or are you selective in your boycott?

4. Coyotes, in support of your brothers and sisters from Mexico and other countries in Latin America, will you stop smuggling illegals into the US for that one day? Boycott our border for the day. Please.

5. Drug traffickers, will you also refrain from bringing your poison into the US for one day?

6. Welfare recipients, will you tell the US government to dock your welfare checks for one day? Will you give up one day's worth of food stamps?

7. You claim you are not criminals, but those who are deported and re-enter the US are felons who may serve as many as 20 years in federal prison. Will you turn in these felons to the Immigration authorities? Show us you are loyal Americans. Do it anonymously, if you wish.

8. Since you are participating in a boycott, will you boycott gasoline stations, car rental agencies, public transportation, etc., and walk to and from your protests no matter how far away it is?

9. Teachers in California, who are supporting these lawbreakers and urging your students to do the same, will you give back one day's pay since you aren't teaching on May 1? Or you may use one of your vacation days or personal days for your political activities. Afterall, I don't know of any bosses paying workers who wish to go to the border to help the Minutemen build their fence.

10. California politicians, who passed a resolution in support of the illegal alien boycott and protest, will you give back one day's pay to the taxpayers? Perhaps all the campaign contributions you receive on May 1 can be given to charity.

These are not difficult items to add to your boycott. If you do these things it will reflect upon your sense of fair play. But I, for one, am not holding my breath.
