If I'm not mistaken, “immigrants” don’t need a Dream Act. Nor do they need to be concerned with border walls or ICE raids. This is simply another protest for illegal aliens. Bring it on!

“We want humane, comprehensive immigration reform now,” Gonzales said.

The groups – including Escuela Tlatelolco, Padres y Jovenes Unidos and NEWSED – hope the march will raise the profile of immigration reform issues during the convention. Among the coalition’s goals are the passage of the DREAM act, which would make it easier for states to offer in-state tuition to students who are illegal immigrants, the elimination of the border wall and the cessation of immigration raids such as the one at the Swift meatpacking facility in Greeley in December 2006.

It's always nice when non-citizens "demand" things from the US government, no?

Hopefully they will fly there homeland flags. A nice shot in the foot again, they learned that lesson before so probably not, but we mostly know their true colors.

They'll raise something, the red flag a little higher. They just dont know how good they got it right now. Soakin up the gravy and they want more, like a stray dog trying to pull up a chair at the dinner table, time to put em out.

There have been Americans protesting the illegal alien invasion, usually on the weekends but they dont get much press.

That is exactly why you don't see counter demonstrations......who wants their face on TV while being decried as being part of a 'racist' demonstration?

Just because people aren't out in force doing counter demonstrations doesn't mean they are at home thinking "oh, those poor illegals.....they should be citizins of the US because they walked here!"
No, there will be people watching this on the TV and then making donations to anti illegal immigration groups.
