Thread Name: BS: May 1st Immigration Solidarity Strike
Subject: RE: BS: May 1st Immigration Solidarity Strike
California and Illinois will be most affected by the strike, the food industries being the worst hit.
Something like 2 million of the 'illegals' are Asian, but they keep their heads down while Hispanics get most of the flak. I would be surprised if they joined a strike. A strike only hardens peoples positions.

I doubt that any changes will pass Congress this year. Neither party is anxious to attack the problem, although some cosmetic additions to personnel and barriers may be made at the borders. Eventually, a system to regularize the millions of undocumented people will have to be implemented.
