I have marched into the belly of the beast, downtown Los Angeles, where the entire L.A. tactical force was required to keep the illegals and their supporters, (Answer LA and their ilk) from attacking American citizens. They still threw bottles and trash at us, stomped the American flag into the gutter, and screamed things at us I can't repeat in polite company.

I have marched in Maywood, California, where I was attacked by illegal aliens and their supporters. I've marched in Hollywood in support of Ramos and Compean, and one thread runs true throughout every event I've ever been involved in. I've found that many people love to pontificate from behind the safety of their computers, but ask them to actually put aside their computer commando tactics and get out and get involved and you lose 90% of them.

Apathy is the number one enemy of the American people. Most people just don't get involved until their lives are directly affected by a particular issue. I'm sorry to say that it took my then six year son being harrassed and bullied at a public school in California by illegal alien children before I got involved. Until then, I never realized the extent of the invasion.

I know. I have marched too. The illegals attack the Americans, it is never the other way around. The Americans are always generally peaceful, just walking and expressing their points. The illegals want to attack anyone who opposes them, you can hear the anger in their voice. It really shows their animalistic behavior and inability to solve things without fighting or pissing off Americans by calling them everything from racist to Europeans.

I'm pretty sure if you were in Mexico and there were people telling Americans to go back to the United States in the streets, you'd also be pretty mad.

No, becuase I dont think its right for me to be an illegal alien, period. If I am, then they have every right to send me back home or request for me to leave the country. And the anti-illegal protestors dont tell hispanics to go home, they tell illegals to go home. There is a difference.

I think one of the reasons (and I speak from experience) that Americans don't go out and march and protest illegals is because we are becoming an "old" nation. Us Baby Boomers are about to retire, and we're 80 million people.

I marched and sat in during the late 60's, and the early 70's against the war, against the killings at Kent State, for women's equal rights, for equal rights for blacks, for gay rights, on and on.........

Now - my knees ache, I can't do it anymore. Young folks are always the ones who must do it, like we did. The torch has been passed to a new generation......etc. etc. I now content myself with writing letters, faxing, e-mailing to our so-called "representatives", and giving them a piece of my mind rather than a piece of my body.

I would attend just so I could throw stuff at the police and get arrested when the riots start.

Sadly, most assimilated, middle-class Americans have lost the "fire" their ancestors once had, given up their 'distinctiveness', 'lost their culture' and become Americans....and screaming, yelling, stomping, tipping cars over, desecrating flags, and throwing objects just isn't considered "good form" for middle class Americans. Theere was a BRIEF upsurge during the Vietnam War, but today, mostly, such 'displays' are mostly the province of the marginalized, the unassimilated, and the downtrodden.

Doesn't mean they (the middle class) don't get MAD.. (even VERY mad)....but 'trashing the streets' and beating the 'crap' out of each other is just "SO third world"...
