*May day 'has long been a focal point for demonstrations by various socialist, communist, and anarchist groups.' http://www.crosswalk.com/news/weblogs/kmc/?adate=04/29/2006 From the researchers at the Los Angeles Times: 40 percent of all workers in L.A. County are working for cash and not paying taxes. 95 percent of all arrest warrants issued for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens. 75 percent of people on L.A.'s most-wanted list are illegal aliens. Over two-thirds of all births are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal whose births were paid for by the taxpayers. Nearly 25 percent of all inmates in California detention centers are here illegally. Over 300,000 illegals are living in garages. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegals from south of the border. Nearly 60 percent of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal. Of the 10 million people in Los Angeles County, 5.1 million speak English and 3.9 million speak Spanish. 21 radio stations in Los Angeles are Spanish speaking. Less than 2 percent of illegals are picking crops but 29 percent are on welfare. Over 70 percent of the U.S. annual population growth (over 90 percent of California, Florida and New York) are from immigration. 29 percent of inmates in the federal prisons are illegal aliens. The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a negative. They also send about $15 billion back to Mexico annually. It cost Los Angeles $276 million in welfare costs for 100,000 children of illegal aliens.
We have a May1 shutdown here in Sweden, it's a workers day and it sucks because lots of stores are closed and people(mostly middleaged workers) are marching the streets.
