May 1st boycott

There are so many approaches to immigration and this event didn't articulate any. It's supporters paint the opposition as people who want to stop imiigration all together. The opposition see the supporters wanting amnisty for all illeagle immigrants, or open borders. I don't think either is completely true, but perpetuation of the extremes makes for good media.

Sadly, I think both sides are closer on this issue than I think. Personally, this is one area where I think George Bush came up with a sensible approach - i.e. a guest worker program. There's obviously a niche being filled by the existing illeagle immigrants - let's find a way to take advantage of that in a more manageable fashion.
