I have been following this story closely. There is one thing that confuses me. The pending legislation is for immigration reform right? Those that have emigrated here LEGALLY should have no beef right? In fact, I have tremendous respect for people who have left their homeland to seek a better life; the more the better if they did it the RIGHT way.
My problem, and what I think the focus of the legislation is, would be the ILLEGAL immigrants that sneak into the country every year. These people demand the rights of citizenship (schooling, public housing, financial aid, jobs) without the documentation that they are entitled to those rights and the responsibility and allegiance to this country. Why didn't the boycott only ask the ILLEGALS to stay home so that we can clearly see who are the ones that this country can do without?
I would be interested to hear from folks who emigrated here legally and the challenges you faced.
