Yes, they help make the case for people opposed to illegal immigration, by providing images such as these:

It's great for us anti-illegals, because the marches just wake up more Americans who then see what's going on - people from another country demanding everything from education to healthcare from the American taxpayers.

This is what started anti-illegal sentiment a year ago for some people, who didn't already know the facts.

Thanks, illegals.

Yep, they're a big help. They help to wake up the American sheeple to the fact that this country has been invaded by a foreign country whose citizens have absolutely no intention of assimilating into our culture but are intent on forcing us to assimilate to theirs.

I hope they march by the millions!

As the others stated.

It seems as of late every significant pro illegal movement blows up in the faces of its supporters.

If they were marching and protesting in the right country, they might do some good. They need to take their protests over to Mexico and demand that a nation as wealthy as their own is one that it's people can stay in.

I think the marches are definitely doing great things. I was working in downtown Chicago for the May day 2006 march and I could barely get to my train after work because the streets were so packed with illegals. It certainly opened my eyes and made me realize just how HUGE the illegal immigration problem is in this country. Keep marching, it's succeeding in getting the legal citizens riled up and ready to take our country back!
