and no it's not a "pro immigrant" march, it's a pro ILLEGALS march.

Their rhetoric would be funny if they weren't so delusional.....

"We have the moral responsibility to go out into the streets and claim our rights. We don't have a lot of money for big movements, but we have the marches to put pressure."
Quote:
Foreigners like Maria Lopez, a 26-year-old undocumented farm worker from Oxnard who will participate in the San Fernando Valley March. "We want to come out of the shadows," Lopez said. "We work and we drive without documents out of necessity. We don't hurt anybody."
Lopez' brothers brought her into the United States 12 years ago and she has been working ever since, first at a hotel at the age of 14 and for the past eight years picking strawberries and other crops.
She has two daughters, ages 8 and 4, and has no intention of going back to her native country, Mexico.
"Going back would be like going into the unknown," she said. "Going back is no longer an option for me. I adopted this country as my own."

They have the moral responsibility to march in our streets and demand their rights? Which rights would those be?

As chicago says, what rights do illegal aliens have?

This killed me, notice how the illegal alien is referred to...... "Foreigner" "undocumented farm worker"

So besides being an illegal alien she is driving without a license. Wonder if any of CA's law enforcement officers are going to ticket/arrest her. I wonder if anyone in CA even cares they have uneducated unsafe drivers on their roads....

I have more sympathy for a cockroach than an illegal alien......

So where's their dad and what's he got to say about it? Yeah I know....there is no known dad.

Going home isn't an option for her now because she doesn't intend to lose the food stamps and WIC coupons and nice housing allowance those two kids bring in.

It's not that Mexico is a big unknown - it's that it's unknown for welfare offices and food stamps. It's known for having to work for a living.

They have the right to pack up all their belongings, put them in the back of their truck and drive south until they cross the Mexican border.

Now that they are home they have the right to petition the Mexican Government for more jobs, higher paying jobs, safer jobs and jobs with medical benefits.

If their demands are not met they have the right to burn the Mexican flag, hang it upside down and march by the hundreds of thousands down the main plaza's in Mexico city demanding justice.

If that doesn't work they can play their illegal alien game but this time they go south to Brazil to do it.....

It wouldn't suprise me if Obama dressed up as a HS cheerleader and joined the march at this point.

These 2 fugly hags in the article are only emboldened by the political Hispandering of our politicians

I find things like this comical. I understand their attempts, but they don't understand that the only rights they have are the basic human rights. Those rights are the right to be free of physical harm from others, enslavement, and things that protect their physical being. But, to act as though they have the right to be in this country working and living, they made that up in their own minds.
