May 1st.

A day without a Mexican. I don’t know where I stand on this topic. Even though I am a Mexican, I just don’t know what to think about that.
I received a call from my brother two nights ago. Asking me if I was going to attend a demonstration here where we live. At first I said, yeah sure, but know I am not that sure. At first I thought it was going to be something local, but then, I turned the TV to a Spanish channel and they were talking about it. It is going to be a national demonstration. Anybody that is Mexican is encouraged to not to show up for work on the First of May, to show support for all the illegal aliens that are living in the United States. I don’t think I will be attending my local demonstration, and I think maybe a lot more Mexican are either. It’s just crazy. Imagine if you were the owner of a Mexican restaurant and all of your employees are Mexican. Are you just going to close the restaurant and loose money and probably customers? I mean, you have to be realistic. Who is the one that is going to take the worst part of it if you do that? The United States? No. You are the one that is going to suffer the lost. It is nice to see how united Mexican people are, but I don’t think is the best way to do it. Maybe I am wrong and it is going to cause an impact. Time will tell. Oh! And please, if you think in attending one of those demonstrations, please DO NOT take your Mexican flag with you. I know that you are proud to be what you are, but American people do not like that. I think I am going to have to agree with them. So please, go and buy an American flag and take that instead. Maybe that way you will accomplish more.
