My basic opinion on the immigration issue is - immigrants = good, illegal immigrants = bad. (In case you can't figure it out, it's the illegal part that I object to.) My first reaction to the protests planned for Monday was that it's Not A Good Idea. Now I'm having second thoughts and want to join in...in my own way.
Consider Monday a day to be what you want to be. Ever wish you were a doctor but don't want to go through all that pesky med school business? Be an Undocumented Doctor. Be an Undocumented Mayor for a day - no fundraising, no campaigning and no elections.
Picking just one may be the hardest part:
Undocumented Nobel Laureate (I know it's not a job, but....)
Undocumented Astronaut
Undocumented Rock Star
Undocumented Race Car Driver (will this get me out of a speeding ticket?)
Let everyone know the Undocumented You by making a t-shirt:
Instructions for making t-shirt stencils with freezer paper
Instructions for making iron on transfers with your printer
Just one last thought on the topic, will those who support illegal immigration stop referring to the Minuteman Project as vigilantism if we start calling the people involved "Undocumented Border Patrol Agents"?
Update: The final choice is Undocumented ICE Agent.
