Take a moment to view this video of Roy Beck trying to do a cast and get interviews with attendees of the pro-illegal immigration march in DC last week.

SEIU Showed Itself a Pro At Sunday March in Silencing Debate -- Mime's Audio Is One Proof

By Roy Beck, Tuesday, March 23, 2010, 7:38 AM EDT - posted on NumbersUSA

The Battle of the Mimes looks pretty silly in many ways. But beneath the makeup and balloons, the SEIU's "silencing campaign" on Sunday showed a lot about the ability and willingness of one of the biggest money/muscle partners of the pro-amnesty forces to use well-orchestrated intimidation to keep debate from happening.

Unless you are a white collar professional it's in your best interest to start paying attention to the push for illegal immigrants to be given amnesty. On top of the 25 million unemployed Americans it will force another ~25 million into the competition for work.

Once given citizenship these 25 million will be able to sponsor more immigrants into the country bringing the true total to probably around 50 million more.

All citizens should pay attention, including white-collar professionals.

Read the article. They (the mimes and "white folk") were the barrier between the press and the mostly non-English speaking "take back mexico" attendants at the rally.

And yes, I agree everyone should be aware of the atrocity.

Agreed 110%. Poorly worded on my part.

Why is race a common theme for you? What difference does it make whether the mimes are white and the security is black? It was no hoax, and it was a despicable display.

Roy Beck was criminally assaulted Sunday, March 21, on Washington's National Mall by opponents of free speech coordinated by the Service Employees International Union. Roy was there to cover the pro-amnesty march.
S.E.I.U. is the pro-illegal immigration union connected in media accounts with political intimidation and assaults in recent years.

What happened Sunday continues S.E.I.U.'s and its allies' months-long strategy of dogging Roy's every public appearance, trying to shout him down or hounding event organizers to bar him from speaking. We have never tried to deny them their freedom of speech.
But this time the S.E.I.U. went much further. It sent a team of "mimes" and S.E.I.U. employees to stalk, push, shove, harass and whistle down Roy and his TV crew for several hours. It was very aggressive, including incitement of the crowd toward violence.
Roy filed criminal assault charges against the mimes and their S.E.I.U. organizers, who spent hours trying to block our webcast. (All of this can be seen and heard on the homepage of NumbersUSA.com.)
When the Federal Park Police finally ordered the S.E.I.U. agitators to move away from Roy and our TV crew, one of the "mimes" took the confrontation to a new low by falsely accusing one of our colleagues of assaulting her -- some three hours after it supposedly took place! The Park Police, acting on the word of the agitators, hand-cuffed and arrested our colleague on the National Mall. (We got him out of custody before the night was over, but he still must fight the pending criminal charge in court!)
Very peaceful....right.
