LOS ANGELES -- Pro-immigration activists say a national boycott and marches planned for Monday will flood U.S. streets with millions of Latinos to demand amnesty for illegal immigrants and shake the ground under Congress as it debates reform.

Such a massive turnout could make for the largest protests since the civil rights era of the 1960s, though not all Latinos -- nor their leaders -- are comfortable with such militancy, fearing a backlash in Middle America.

1. met with a customer who's told their employees.....

...blow off Monday to protest, don't show up Tuesday.

There ARE others who will be happy to take your job.

Earlier this month their hispanic employees took a day off to protest. The business ended up having to
work an extra shift on saturday to meet their production quota. The non-hispanic employees are none too
happy with their hispanic brethren (& sisteren?).

This company makes 'stuff' that is not easily imported (kinda bulky) and this 'stuff' is in very high demand.

2. It's not intended to make people happy!
