Thread Name: BS: May 1st Immigration Solidarity Strike
Subject: RE: BS: May 1st Immigration Solidarity Strike
Bill and 6--

Regarding the subject of the thread, all 3 of us are agreed that the 1 May "protest" is a mistake --as I've said from the beginning. Interestingly, Hispanics who are thinking it through are coming to the same conclusion evidently---according to the WSJ today, the WSJ/NBC poll on the topic finds 43% of Hispanics see a boycott as hurting the cause of immigration reform (vs 34% in favor). And leaders like California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez are asking students to stay in school and workers to show up for work on Monday-unless they have the explicit permission of their employers not to.
