No shit dumbass, does it have something to do with not having a legal right to be here?Illegal Immigrant wrote:
Mexican illegal immigrant Jose Madrid, 28, said he has been unable to find a construction job over the past six weeks because of the crackdown, and hasn't been able to send money to his parents and his 7-year-old son back home.
"We immigrants, we are leaving Panama City. People are afraid they will be deported," he said. "The companies don't want to hire illegal people. Now they're only hiring those with papers."
well, there you have it. ironic, isn't it ? The very same people who break the laws by coming into the US illegally are actually helping drive your fucking economy at the same time.Article wrote:
....Developer Louis Breland is finishing the first phase of a $750 million beach condo project.
"Subcontractors could not function without immigrant laborers for painting, rebar and steel work. They are the best workers," he said. "Without them, the cost of construction would be 10 times as much and nothing would get built."
maybe the civil rights groups interprete this as "intimidation tactic" ?Bubbalo wrote:
I'm curious as to how it's questionable. If you don't want to be arrested for breaking laws, don't break laws running from cops.
Brilliant! You should give lessons! I can think of some hippies that could use them!B.Schuss wrote:
I remember the golden rule of demonstrating: if the cops come running, don't run away. Stand calmly at the side, pretend to be an innocent bystander. Riot police are like T-Rex's. They react to movement.
I suspect that has more to do with German demonstrators being more interested in wearing the scalps of their enemies than running away.......................B.Schuss wrote:

I am not sure I know what exactly you are implying, but I'd say that depends on the kind of demonstration you attend. For example, when you have two parties of demonstrators, basically protesting against each other, violent clashes are bound to happen, especially when the two parties involved are inherently violent ( such as the Neo-Nazi vs Anti-Fascist demos, that we have in germany ). Demonstrations against the government, or those with general topics, such as peace, the environment or education are more or less peaceful these days.Bubbalo wrote:
