In The Past Few Weeks, Do You Think Its POSSIBLE That The "PROTESTORS" Could Turn Into An Angry Mob(All 20 Million Of Them) And Create A Problem IF Their "DEMAND FOR AMNESTY" Is Not Granted By The US Government????

again...yes...it is possible...but...we ..the American voters and law abiding citizens will win...Your question only shows how dangerous the situation is having these people who do not pledge there allegiance to our country and flag are.

I agree. Wouldn't it have been a lot more beneficial for the illegals to have gathered in protest of the Mexican government than in protest of the American government?  I would imagine that if the "demonstrations" where aimed at the Mexican government..the illegals would have the total support of the American people. In essence, they would have been asking for the backing of Americans instead of demanding something that they don't deserve. It was a colossal mis judgment on the part of the organizers.

The Enchanted Fairy is right!\nNow let's hope INS goes to a couple of these big protests and rounds up a bunch of these illegal scumbags!\n\nWe could make a big dent in the illegal population by enforcing the labor laws and giving HUGE fines to both the illegal worker and the company that hired them. After awhile it would become cheaper for those companies to pay better wages to Americans, than to hire the illegals!

YES I DO. This is MY protest.\n\nFirst of all, do they really think that it will make any difference at all? It won't. In order to actually make a noticible dent in the economy, they would have to hold out a heck of a lot longer than 24 hours...and I just really don't see that happening. Second of all, where do they get off? Nowhere else but in America could someone protest, throw a fit and expect someone to make allowances for the fact that they have, in fact, broken the law. There are legal ways to enter this country, they could have chosen one of them and then there wouldn't be this problem. However, they chose not to obey the laws of this country and, in my opinion, they need to be held accountable for their lawlessness. \n\nIf we allow all these illegal immigrants amnesty, what message does that send to all the immigrants who entered this country legally, who paid their dues and did things according to the rules? Gee, we're sorry we put you through all that because our laws are completely meaningless and we're going to give amnesty to everyone who decided they didn't want to be bothered with the pesky rules? What next, are we going to allow all mass murderers to run free because, hey, if you can break one law, why not all of them. What if all the rapists in every maximum security prison across the country stage a protest demanding their freedom? Why have any rules and laws at all if they can just be arbitrarily changed to exonorate a group of people just because they protest and demand it?\n\nI understand that the people coming here illegally are desperate and in dire circumstances, I don't doubt that at all. However, as someone who grew up in dire circumstances myself (yes, I know what it's like to go to bed hungry for weeks on end, to not have heat in the winter and to face the uncertainty of whether or not you're going to have a roof over your head), I still believe that breaking the law is unacceptable. That doesn't mean that I don't understand the motivation behind it, but it is what it is. After all, we have hundreds of thousands of legal American citizens who are homeless, who are hungry, who are in desperate situations and who are crying for an opportunity to support their families. However, should one of these people choose to rob a bank or sell drugs in an attempt to support their family, we don't see protests in the streets to exonorate them of their crimes. We may understand the motivation behind their actions, but the truth is that they've broken the law, regardless of the reasons/circumstances and in this country, there are consequences for breaking the law. If there aren't, then what's the point of even having a legal system?\n\nCome here legally and I don't have a problem with it. Come here from whatever country, make a life for yourself, send your kids to college, make yourself a millionaire, win the lottery, start a fortune 500 company. I. DON'T. CARE. That's the sort of thing that this country was built on. I, myself, have relatives who immigrated to this country legally and who have been very successful in building their lives and their fortunes. Great for them! Certainly there are those who are racist, but don't make this a racial thing, that's the easy cop-out.

I agree, it's a huge joke. First of all, do they really think that it will make any difference at all? It won't.

Would I be willing to protest against the continued invasion of sovereign American soil, against the continued arrogance of a group of thugs demanding rights and privileges that only legal citizens should get, against Mexican, Salvadoran, Nicaraguan, Cuban, Honduran, and whatever other foreign national flag is being waved in the faces of Americans at the rally's being held by the aforementioned thugs. Would I be willing to do that? You bet your Red, White, and Blue A*s I would! God bless the US and all its LEGAL residents!!

an "underground resistance group" huh.  What are you going to do, riot at the mall?  And how do you propose to recognize an "illegal?"  Or will you just drive around and shoot anyone who doesn't look like your Aunt Tilly?\n\nGrow up.

That would take up too much of their time and I think a lot of people would be bothered unneccessarily. But I do think they should be more active instead of passive. It seems they just wait for someone to report illegals instead of doing something to find them.

You are right. It is all of the things you have mentioned and more. It is one colossal mis calculation after the next. America has definitely stepped up it's tone on illegals, and it's not really the government, it's the American people. The fact that these illegals tried to demand something that they have not earned is just outrageous. If the demonstrations were a bid to ask the Americans for help to rid Mexico of the corruption and strangle hold the drug families have on the economy then i think they would be in business. Instead, they march on American cities demanding rights and free passage while flying a foreign nations flag. Really, really bad judgment.

Great minds think alike ;)\n\n100% Agreed!\n\nYes, special interests that are behind these protests, etc. are trying to obfuscate the real issue, by making it about pro- or anti-IMMIGRATION, when in reality what we're talking about is ILLEGAL immigration.  They are not arguing based on the facts of the issue (because they can't win this way) but by name-calling and creating divisions.

Great point!!! It might go over Pro-illegals heads though...

Another war for independance.\n\n\n Dont' think it couldn't happen - the ELECTED officials in southern cali are plotting as we speak how to BREAK THE LAW FURTHER from anything up to and including ARMED REVOLT if Congress doesn't give them everything they want hands down.

Dar if Kennedy is pissed-that makes me happy!\n\nI think enough is happening that they have to face the issue rather they like it or not-good.\n\nAnd Seal-or Anyone-Who are the biggest groups out there and who has petitions for the American people who want-Border security or no Amnesty?  And have some growing power. Besides the Minutemen?

I agree, a peacful protest would probably get them farther than violence.  What is sad is I really don't think they realize by doing what they are they are giving creedance to those cartoons!  They are protesting that they are wrong but are doing it by means portraied in them!  That isn't helping any at all.

I think this is a very valid question.  It shows how hypocritical it would be to give amnesty to those who did not follow the rules.\n\n---\n\nin response to the person above, that is not true.  They are not all "doing the work that no one else will do."  They are doing jobs U.S. citizens will do, but are doing it for such cheap wages, often lower than minimum wage, that they are getting the jobs.  They are bringing down the value of a jobs worth.
