The piggies seemed pretty sympathetic to the Minutemen-types and very worried about us, even though we weren't the ones looking all hostile and angry like the jingoistic morons across the streets. There was a short argument between some of us and the police over dispersal orders, which was diffused quickly. Overall, the best march I've been to. People were in good spirits and seeing groups of Latino kids taunting the Minutemen types was worth the trip alone.

Where was this at? and when? I am hoping we have another march here soon. I would love to participate this time, of course on the anti illegal side.

I don't get the Latino youth members outside rallying. they should stop taking those stupid ceasar chavez posters down. They don't realize Ceasar chavez was against illegal immigration because it drove down wages among other things.

The red shirts should be good indicator as to the political motivation of this group.

Personally, I've always laughed at the irony of it all. Until we stop outsourcing, which deals a MAJOR blow to the economy, complaining about immigration should be the least of our worries, as that blow to both employment and currency is miniscule in comparison.

To top it off, a lot of immigrants have more to offer the USA than many of its nationals. While I'm alluding more at India, Japan, China, and EU nations, there are surely many qualified (and appreciative) workforce provided by Mexico.

In both the tax system and economics, there are more problems caused by making a bureaucratic maze to citizenship than problems caused by new citizens. Give everyone a chance at citizenship, so they have the opportunity to give back to the system instead of just taking from it. The main problems cited as results of immigration are actually results of barriers to entry that prevent people from gaining legal status.

The BLURRING OF THE LINES CONTINUE . . . The marches being held are always demanding AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS. Did you notice the MEXICAN FLAGS?

Yes I did see the Mexican flags. I also saw signs in Spanish. Do they really think this is going to help them? Do they think people are going to be sympathetic to illegal aliens or their sypathizers who hold foreign flags and signs in Spanish demanding "just" actions?

You would think that one of their "leaders" would be smart enough to tell them actions like these normally backfire and usually wakes up more and more Americans to the reality of this illegal invasion.

No, it's not sympathy that they count on, they count on us being intimidated by their screaming racists, etc.. As for their so called leaders, I'd love the opportunity to meet with them and encourage them to take these criminals into their homes and care for them if they are sooooooo concerned about their well being.

After all the Race aka LaRaza has recently been awarded 10 Million of our tax dollars and that's in addition to millions more given to them by the corporate crooks. That should be plenty to feed them and care for them ON THE MEXICAN SIDE OF THE BORDER. Hell since they are such "hard workers" they can have the illegals build a huge casa to house all 20 million of their rampant population.

Those evil evil protesters!
They are only supporting amnesty because of their common Latino heritage. All of them are Latino!
Those monsters...

You should clarify this post is made by someone else and you copied and pasted it.

Well ,they are supporting amnesty which would mean making illegal immigrants legal.
