text: what did the illegal immigrants have to gain by taking 5/1/06 off? did they just want to be fired?  did they just want to tick everyone off, or did they just want to let the government know that they were illegal and they were almost ready to be deported all the way back to the homelands?  you never know, what do you think they were trying to gain? you obviously missed the point of the protest. i would suggest you switch from fox to another newcast.  it is to symbolize the affect that illegal immigrants and their supporters have on the economy.  it's so you can ask yourself what do you have to lose by kicking them out? the issue is not to open the border, because i know how much your racist rhetoric would hate to have spanish people sharing the same public fountain as you. it's about granting rights to those who are already contributing to the economy.  but i'm sure you'll chose as a best answer whoever eggs on your racism.
