Illegal Alien Protest Marches Planned for Today "Demonstrators demanding a path to citizenship for an estimated 12 million "But woe to a movement that can't see the burrito for the beans. Chanting and waving flags while slowly snaking through downtown accomplishes only so much, even if previous gains using the same tactics were huge. There's much still to be done; Latino voting numbers, in particular, are still pitiful. More important, most Americans are still skeptical of these immigrants and their self-interest. It's nice that those Mexicans marched for themselves, think Mr. and Mrs. American, but at what point are they going to care about us? To be frank, you can expect Latino immigrants to care more about Americans when they are allowed to become Americans," says Gustavo Arellano in a LA Times op-ed today. In Los Angeles, "[O]fficials warned that the protests will snarl traffic, disrupt mass transit and halt some business in downtown Los Angeles and beyond." Comments
I don't care what they think of us, I still want them to go home, thanks all the same. No matter how it's worded, painted, portrayed or skewed - ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE BREAKING THE LAW AND MUST NOT BE REWARDED WITH CITIZENSHIP!!!!!!!!!!! Posted by: Kristina on May 1, 2007 12:47 PM PLEASE READ AND ACT ! To the well-informed readers of this website, while illegal aliens march in our streets, complain about our country, and demand amnesty and rights, let's remind our elected officials that we are the silent majority and WE VOTE. According to a Congress Daily report, Democratic and Republican senators are meeting today to negotiate on legislation regarding immigration reform (i.e., possible amnesty). PLEASE contact your senators and congressional reps and tell them absolutely NO AMNESTY, no "Z-visas," no "triggers" etc. Insist that the focus must be on border enforcement. We want no repeat of the failed 1986 amnesty. I have called and written many of our elected reps and urge you to do the same. Here are some key senators to call and their phone numbers, PLEASE: -John Cornyn, 202-224-2934 -Jim DeMint, 202-224-6121 -Sam Brownback, 202-224-6521 (he is running for president) -Johnny Isakson, 202-224-3643 -Jon Kyl, 202-224-4521 (he is waivering) Posted by: Fed Up on May 1, 2007 12:55 PM Demonstrations and protests by ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE COMMITTING CRIMES BY BEING ILLEGALLY IN THIS COUNTRY have no rights, whatsoever in this country. They are an invading force having illegally entered this country without permission. They should be dealt with just as if the Chinese Army landed on California shores or any other invading force landed on U.S. soil. I think the only thing gained by last years march was really pissing off American Citizens to the point that it illicited a reaction. Maybe not as much as it should have been but it awakened John and Jane Public that there are people who want something for nothing and they are robbing the puclic for whatever they can get! It's B.S. that they are doing jobs Americans won't do. It's B.S. that this is a nation of immigrants. The B.S. the politicians are spewing is just that - it's B.S. and they aren't telling the whole truth. American's won't do the jobs for the low wages. This is a nation of LEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Let's get it right and call a spade a spade. . . and let's call them what they are - ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. They aren't "undocumented immigrants" they are ILLEGAL. That is I-L-L-E-G-A-L!!!!!!!! Posted by: Sick 'n Tired on May 1, 2007 01:22 PM I wonder if the illegals May Day boycott also includes not giving birth to anchor babies, not driving while drunk, not accepting welfare payments, not using food stamps, not dealing drugs, not murdering, not stealing or raping, not attending government schools, not buying homes using taxpayer financing, not committing identity theft, not committing document fraud, not clogging the courts, not sending remittances to their home countries, not breaking our laws by being here and not insisting that we speak THEIR native language? ALL immigration these days – whether legal or illegal - is just an organized crime racket run by the Feds to enrich the big business crime bosses that OWN BOTH THE REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT PARTIES. Once again folks, never ever forget that the biggest terrorist attack and the deadliest mass shooting in American history were both committed by … IMMIGRANTS! Posted by: Marc on May 1, 2007 01:43 PM THEIR PROTEST DAY COINCIDES WITH OTHER SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST CELEBRATIONS, ITS ILLEGAL AND THE TIMING IS HORRIFIC La Raza doesn't have a clue. Why pick May 1st to stage an illegal alien circus parade? It TOTALLY irritates MOST Americans. See the proof: In Seattle, Sanctuary Ciity Mayor Nickels is leading the illegal alien circus parade at 4PM-6PM PST, right at the height of city RUSH HOUR. Does this buffoon Sanctuary Mayor have a clue? Seattle's TOTALLY OVERPOPULATED CLOGGED roads do not need an illegal road closure to push amnesty and snarl traffic even worse, to a total standing still parking lot. If that wasn't bad enough, there's a LEGAL Mariners game pouring more traffic into the city at 7PM too. PATHETIC!!!! Posted by: Softwarengineer on May 1, 2007 01:49 PM We Americans have to keep dropping the standard that makes America great to help this class of people who refuse to even make the bar once the standard has been dropped again and again. Let's stop dropping the bar and make them meet the American Standard. i.e. Applying at the American consulates for citizenship, learning English, learning our laws, our history and above all...letting go of their culture that doesn't work in the first place. Here is a small example of what I have to go thru everyday just to show how Los Angeles caters to this group of people unwilling to meet out standards. I belong to an Upscale Gym in the downtown area. It has a pool. The illegals get free 3 day passes part of the gym promotion (they have no i.d. so they come with different names so they can come multiply times) they go to the pool, and just strip down to their underwear and jump in the pool. This happens everytime I swim, one guy went swimming in a dirty sweater, took it off and started pounding it against the side of the pool. I complained to the management, but they do nothing..they don't want to offend anyone. (except they are offending American citizens..but we don't count anymore). Posted by: MIKE on May 1, 2007 02:02 PM Yes, how ironic they hold their protests on May Day. Are they sure they shouldn't be thinking of moving to Latin America or somewhere like that? Anywhere but the good ole, USA, please. Posted by: Born American on May 1, 2007 02:49 PM This is the left wing MSM`s wet dream... Now they can report their family sob stories and baby waving footage all day, while distorting and ignoring the true facts about ILLEGAL immigration... "To be frank, you can expect ILLEGAL Latino immigrants to care more about Americans when they are allowed to become Americans," says Gustavo Arellano in a LA Times op-ed today. Is that some sort of blackmail from this pro-illegal alien rag... ILLEGAL aliens could careless about America or Americans whether their citizens or not... It`s all about gimme, gimme, gimme too them... Get on those phones, faxes, e-mails too your traitor reps and let our voices be heard, that`s how we march! Posted by: American Me on May 1, 2007 02:55 PM ONLY IN AMERICA CAN LAW BREAKING ILLEGAL ALIENS MARCH DOWN THE STREET OF MAJOR CITIES, AND FEDERAL AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. IF THIS WAS IN MEXICO AND ILLEGALS WERE MARCHING, THEY WOULD BE ROUNDED UP AND DEPORTED PRONTO, OR THROWN IN PRISON. AMERICA HAS BECOME A GUTLESS SPINELESS PLACE. WHAT A SHAME! Posted by: Independent Voter on May 1, 2007 03:01 PM Hey, one of my friends in Southern California called me and told me he was on the freeway earlier in the day, and it was just like last year, great. Millions of illegal aliens driving without a license are finally off the freeways and it's just like it was thirty years ago before the illegal aliens invasion and reconqista attempt by the nation of Mexico. Every cloud has a silver lining. Congressman Tancredo President 2008 TEAM TANCREDO.ORG, send some support, according to how your spirit moves you on this issue. Posted by: Bobby on May 1, 2007 03:10 PM A concise definition of the May marches: A gathering of People demanding the non-enforcement of law. Posted by: Gary on May 1, 2007 04:04 PM Here in Houston at their rally Saturday..NBC coverage included a camaraman with a Mexican flag on his camara. so much for unbiased reporting.Guesss what his ethnicity was?http://www.debbieschlussel.com/archives/2007/05/channel_2_of_ho.html Posted by: Mayflowerchick on May 1, 2007 04:40 PM Oh, the horror of it all!! According to the full story in the Washington Post... [Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean called the bill "insane" because it would require many illegal immigrants to return home before applying for citizenship. If all those individuals decided to go home on their own, "imagine what will happen to our economy?" he told a group of more than 100 party supporters at Miami's Parrot Jungle Island. He originally planned to address demonstrators in Miami but said he canceled because of scheduling conflicts. He planned to meet privately with rally leaders.] To think that we Americans would want the ILLEGAL ALIENS to actually go back home and apply for citizenship in accordance with the LAWS of OUR COUNTRY!! Dean says this would destroy our economy. Well it didn't have that effect last year when the ILLEGALS took off from work to get in our faces! Sure, some "slave wage giving" employers would see a slow down. But just as with any other business that was closed down after a raid, Americans were hired for non-slave wages!. Dean and all the rest of these ILLEGAL ALIEN promoters should be shipped out with their compadres. Posted by: United Statesian on May 1, 2007 05:10 PM I just heard a FOX newcast on the radio and they were interviewing people as to why this years protest march was not as numerous as last years. The concensus of the couple of people I heard was that they stayed away because of fear. Fear of getting deported. Fear of getting arrested. Guess it must be working! As a sidelight - I was on my noon walk and didn't see near as many people in downtown Sacramento as there was last year. On my walk I was behind two ladies who had attended the "rally" and one had a rolled up U.S. Flag on an aluminum pole. She was tipping it down almost to the ground - I was waiting! I was about to say something about the way she was carrying the flag that I cherish and she could probably give a s**t less about. It did not touch but I was waiting! Posted by: Sick 'n Tired on May 1, 2007 06:09 PM They are spitting in the face of Americans with the help of our so-called leaders!! I am incensed...no more is it just amnesty-they are demanding full open borders...God help me I can barely contain my outrage at Herr Bush...How can anyone, anyone! still support this traitor to this country !!! Posted by: mary on May 1, 2007 11:25 PM Arellano's comment is a joke! The illegals don't think well of Americans except to sponge off of us, take our identities, break our laws, kill innocent Americans with their careless driving. They don't care to learn English and will speak their native language boldly in front of you. To me, it is a slap in the face. I didn't watch the marches today. I am already ticked off. I hope that more Americans are outraged though and start getting involved. WE need to provide a united front to prevent this horrendous amnesty and push for enforcing the laws that are already on the books. TANCREDO FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!! Posted by: Frances on May 1, 2007 11:28 PM The people who are coming here from Mexico are Posted by: Allan S. on May 2, 2007 02:22 AM Where in the world do we see illegal aliens marching in the streets demanding changes to our immigration laws? They do not have rights? The USA must enforce immigration laws as they are now. The US Congress does not have to pass new immigration laws when we have illegal aliens. Laws must be enforce now. If we break any law, do we ask the US Congress to pass a new law be be pardoned? The answer is NO. The same must be with illegal aliens. They do not have rights. Their governments must implement economic laws to create jobs so they do not have to leave their countries. Posted by: Elizabeth on May 2, 2007 07:03 AM Thank you all for helping me keep my sanity, and GOD BLESS F.A.I.R. It's amazing, isn't it. Break into a country illegally, treating someone's country like an employment agency and freebie parental unit, and then wanting respect. Chutzpah to say the least. It's a clash of cultures, education, morals, and a sense of entitlement beyond belief. Any religious organization encouraging law breaking should lose their tax-free status, and anyone backing them should be deported. Even treasonous Americans. We are a country. They should all go back to their home country and fix it. Chickens. As Americans, we fixed our country in our history. As we know "Land of the free, and the home of the brave".

illegal immigrants hope that nationwide marches will spur Congress to act before the looming presidential primaries take over the political landscape. Marches, meetings and voter registration drives were planned Tuesday from California to New York, a year after 1 million flexed their economic muscle in a nationwide boycott during last year's May 1 activities," the AP reports.
