Open Thread for Monday
Here's your topic for today. One letter writer to the Daily News talks about the fate of his May Day marching gardener.So - did the marches help or hurt the cause?
My trash first
Re: "Did rally change minds?" (May 3):
When my gardener decided not to show up for work Monday, I fired him and hired my neighbor's gardener who came to work. I have no objection to my gardener marching and protesting but my trash goes out Monday and he had better be there to put it out. Ironically my former gardener is legally here as is my present gardener, who is already an American citizen.

Good for him.
Who wants a jack ass Jack as boss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The march did change many minds. It made people realize just how many illegals are here in LA. Its obvious they are part of the traffic problem. They ruin neighborhoods by having 5 families in one house with cars and trash in the front yards. They live like pigs. Why does't Piolin the Spanish DJ announce on radio for them to clean up the damn community where they live and be respectful instead of demanding. There is a huge backlash since the march.
Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- Defending his House-passed immigration bill that sparked street protest by millions of immigrants, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee issued a report Friday showing that several countries are harsher than the United State in their treatment of illegal immigrants and their employers.
The Law Library of Congress study of immigration laws in six countries found that all but Brazil have criminal penalities for illegal entry and presence within their borders. Japan, Switzerland, Sweden and Egypt -- employers can be jailed from up to three months to three years for hiring illegal immigrants.
MEXICO has the harshest punishment frame for repeat illegal entry offenders, who are subject to a maximum prison sentence of ten years. First-time offenders are punishable with up to two years imprisonment.
MEXICO criminally sanctions illegal presence with a prison term of up to six years. (By contrast, Chairman Sensenbrenner and the Republican Leadership seek to make illegal presence a misdemeanor -- it's currently not a crime -- punishable by up to six months in jail.)
All the surveyed countries provide higher punishment frames for fraudulent conduct that relates to illegal immigration. The highest penalties are found in Mexico addressing a wide range of offenses relating to immigration fraud. Among these is a punishment frame of two to six years for providing false information to the authorities, and up to five years imprisonment for claiming a false immigration status. A maximum penalty of five years also applies to marriage fraud.
Sell the Hummer, Jaime. You work in a business where image is important. You have no credibility on mass transit issues as long as you are driving a damn Hummer!
I sure hope this is not Jack Allen, advisor to the Community Council of Pacific Palisades.
Jack is one tough, decisive dude. He could clear this whole immigration mess in a couple of weeks, a month tops.
They are writing their own eviction notices. I loved the lack of traffic and the ease of shopping.
Let them all return to whence they came; we'll survive.
Thanks to them for showing us how inconsequential they all are to our economy and lives.
Don't let the door hit you in the butt as you exit...
You can't put your own trash out the night before?!!!
What a lazy ass!
Think about it, it's people like you who won't get their hands dirty with the slightest manual labor that is the true reason illegal immigration is a problem in this country.
Mr. Jack Allen, you are the problem.
