I was disappointed in the thread here that was supposed to have photos from the immigration-related marches. I felt they weren't very representative of what was really out there. Or at the very least was very selective in what pictures were shown.
It seems like some want to depict the marches as mean-spirited, violent, completely Hispanic mobs. While some unsavory elements may make their way into the marches(much like how neo-Nazis have shown up at anti-illegal immigration rallies), the majority of rallies, marches, and protests are peaceful with a pretty diverse crowd.
Here are some pictures from the May Day rallies in Los Angeles, and a protest against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Phoenix, Arizona.

Are you an illegal alien?

If you are, please go back to your homeland.

First and foremost this is the ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION forum. I posted pictures from one rally and they were not intended to encompass all of what may or may not have occurred at all of the illegal alien marches around the US.

What I posted did, however, indeed depict the actions and lack of respect that the vast majority of illegal aliens have with regards to America and Americans. At no time did I claim to have any knowledge or pictures of every single march or its participants.

In the future the jumbotron pics aren't necessary a simple link will suffice.

Oh and if they haven't been deported by this time next year and decide to have another illegal alien parade, perhaps you can tell your friends to print their signs in English so that Americans can actually know what the hell it is that they are delusionally demanding from us.

No need for rude posts. I assumed you would like to see what's really out there in these rallies that are very relevant to the subject of this thread. Thanks.

Agreed. Does anyone else see the irony in the fact that they are here illegally, brazenly marching in America while carrying signs that nobody else can read or understand?

O/T I wonder who gashed that child's forehead in?

Well, nothing really. I find that most people who want to legalize all illegals either have family members who are illegal or will financially benefit from it. Just wondering what your motives are.

Lol, no offense, but that's a pretty cheap tactic.

The kid was very well dressed with very affectionate middle class American parents.

I don't know if you have children, but when they are at the age when they are beginning to walk, they have a tendecy to bump into things and fall down. Could be a scar he was born with. Who knows?

Either way, it's not necessary to make weird insinuations.

That's a rash generalization. The crowds were actually pretty diverse. There's still people in this country who feel compassion without money being involved, believe it or not. It's a very American way of thinking, that I'm sure many have a problem with.
