Quote:
There was a rally at the state capitol in Oklahoma City on Monday, April 23, with about 75 sign-carrying truckers joining forces with people who oppose illegal immigration to protest the government’s cross-border trucking plan.

So they actually did it huh. I wonder if it did any good though?

Ok I don't have much opinion about it, but I was curious if anyone actually did what they organized.

These people did it the right way. Instead of blocking roads, they protested in a civil manner. According to the article, it looks like it got quite a bit of local news coverage.

Now, if truckers could organize a date to do this in every major city, that might actually do some good.

Thats nice, they keep mingling illegal immigration with the cross border trucking program. And there's enough ignorant people out there to confuse the two SEPARATE issues.

It's a shame that you are so biased in your thinking that anyone who disagrees with your stance must be considered "ignorant".

Sorry but it is ignorant to lump illegal immigration with the cross trucking program. If you have a problem with illegal immigration, that's fine, have a problem with it. I have a problem with it. But the cross border program has NOTHING TO DO WITH ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION since the drivers coming across will be doing so legally, just like Canadian drivers. I don't know why that's so hard for people to comprehend.

perhaps if you used the proper derogatory terms it would help.

Ignorant means lack of knowledge.
Stupid is what you should have said.

Mixing the issues is stupid.

You missed even that, though.

The original "organizers" of this farce are actually "anti-immigration", not simply opposed to illegal immigration.

They have a rather racist following and seem to be a bunch of bigots in my opinion.
