    Socialism

    The funny thing is if this passes all the people that are benefitting from cheap labor will have this whole thing turned on their heads. The demonstrations have been on May day, a traditional communist holliday, I see large unions and higher taxes in our countries future.

    As for those of you that don't want to be called racist, try to remember there is no other arguement that can be made. You cannot argue that 12 million people that ignore the laws put in place by an elected government will make good citizens of a democracy.
