Immigrants, in- cluding one of the organizers Javier Rodriguez, believe that the country could not survive without them hav- ing jobs and paying taxes. Some legal immigrants play a huge role in our society. Illegal im- migrants are doing nothing but break- ing our laws. Why risk losing their jobs and other complications? One website, http://www. immigrantsolidarity.org, posted, “We will settle for nothing less than full am- nesty and dignity for the millions of undocumented workers.” If those millions of workers came in the right way, then they would have their digni- ty and their citizenship. The process is hard and takes time to accomplish, but when done the right way immigrating to our country pays off. A few of the requir- ments that immigrants com- ing in the right way have to face; knowing English, posi- tive disposition, understand- ing of American history and a continuos residence within the country. The website also said that people rallying will not go to work, school or buy goods. Really, this entire day of protest is nothing but a reason to skip school. If im- migrants want to show that they are a ma- jor part of so- ciety, setting the example at school and work by coming is their best option. Some of the supposed de- mands that immigrants wish to be met after the boycott is a path to citizenship, fam- ily reunification measures, worker protections and full rights for all immigrants. People can be reunited with their families by going back to their homeland. Immigrants chose to come to the U.S. and be sepa- rated from their fami- lies. Immigrants who bluntly ignore our laws by com- ing here ille- gally also do not deserve amnesty and citizenship for breaking the laws our coun- try has stuck to from day one. On some levels, we cannot blame illegal immigrants for wanting to come here and make a decent living to support their families. How- ever, the fact is that they are making these wages illegally. We must con- demn the Amer- ican citizens who are hiring these people knowing that they are in our country ille- gally. These Americans are feed- ing the fire by showing that they are willing to break the law for cheap labor. Just this month ar- rests of hundreds of works and some man- gers hap- pened at IFCO Sys- tems, who has a plant here. U.S. Immigra- tion and Customs En- forcement agents raided the plants and offices in nine states. This company obviously did not care about our laws and deserved to be reprimanded. Greed started the flood of illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants are not what they think they are to this country. They are just an outlet for more money. The joke about the whole thing is that these immigrants think that our economy is going to collapse without them buy- ing goods or going to school. Honestly, without our country’s legal immigrants, we would not be the same. If these illegal aliens think they are making a difference to our society, they have an- other thing coming. Immigrants are what cre- ated our country in the first place, but times have changed. People cannot just cross the ocean or country borders and expect to auto- matically become a full blown citizen. Immigrants also can- not expect for the country they have invaded to change and conform to their beliefs. One edito- rial journal- ist for The Washington Post wrote, “White Americans, and black Americans, too, are going to have to get used to sharing this country- sharing it ful- ly- with brown Americans. Things are going to be dif- ferent. Deal with it.” This man should not have the nerve to say this. Our culture should not have to change because of some il- legal immigrants. Even though, there are millions of legal immigrants in the United States we will not change because of them. A law that makes perfect sense is to make illegally immigrating to the United States a felony. We must condemn illegal aliens. Put them in their place. Do not allow illegal immigrantion to feel welcome, especially if they plan on being part of nationwide boycott of school and work. Anyone who is an Ameri- can would never want to hurt our economy. Support being an American: come to school and go to work on May 1. Immigration Patterns In part because of the last immigration reform in the 1960’s, more illegal im- migrants have crossed the border into our country on the hopes that they will be awarded amnesty again. In 1970 there were ten million immigrants in the United States. As of the last census in 2000, 28 million immigrants lived in our borders. An immigrant is anyone who comes to live in our country from another country. Once again, our prom-go- ers were complimented by the convention center staff, security officers and admin- istrative organizers, on how well-behaved they were. According to security offi- cer Kevin Poe, the behavior at prom was very good. No breathalyzer tests had to be administered. There were only a handful of dress code violations, and no one was forced to leave prom due to bad behavior. More than 1,100 students attended prom. Poe believes that there is a real connec- tion between how students dress and behave. So, when students are in formal attire, they act more like adults. Ann Helft, junior class sponsor, and our student body made this prom a suc- cessful evening. Good job to everyone who attended.

Another Successful and Complimented Evening of Prom
Migrant slack-off day also known as May 1To “prove a point” is
why Hispanics and immigrants across the
United States will protest by walking out of jobs and schools on May 1.
Immigrants, in-cluding one of the organizers Javier Rodriguez, believe that the country could not survive without them hav-ing jobs and paying taxes. Some legal immigrants play a huge role in our society. Illegal im-migrants are doing nothing but break-ing our laws.
Why risk losing their jobs and other complications?
One website, http://www.immigrantsolidarity.org, posted, “We will settle for nothing less than full am-nesty and dignity for the millions of undocumented workers.”
If those millions of workers came in the right way, then they would have their digni-ty and their citizenship.
The process is hard and takes time to accomplish, but when done the right way immigrating to our country pays off. A few of the requir-ments that immigrants com-ing in the right way have to face; knowing English, posi-tive disposition, understand-ing of American history and a continuos residence within the country.
The website also said that people rallying will not go to work, school or buy goods.
Really, this entire day of protest is nothing but a reason to skip school. If im-migrants want to show that they are a ma-jor part of so-ciety, setting the example at school and work by coming is their best option.
Some of the supposed de-mands that immigrants wish to be met after the boycott is a path to citizenship, fam-
ily reunifi cation measures, worker protections and full rights for all immigrants.
People can be reunited with their families by going
back to their h o m e l a n d . Immigrants chose to come to the U.S. and be sepa-rated from their fami-lies.
Immigrants who bluntly ignore our laws by com-ing here ille-gally also do not deserve
amnesty and citizenship for breaking the laws our coun-try has stuck to from day one.
On some levels, we cannot blame illegal immigrants for wanting to come here and make a decent living to support their families. How-ever, the fact is that they are making these wages illegally. We must con-demn the Amer-ican citizens who are hiring these people knowing that they are in our country ille-gally.

This company obviously did not care about our laws and deserved to be reprimanded.
Greed started the fl ood of
