All i keep hearing is that its every immigrant. Yet when you watch the news, listen to the radio its all supported and run by HISPANICS for ILLEGAL HISPANIC RIGHTS (MEXICO). Havent you seen the flags? The majority are hispanics they are the only ones that can walk across the border.

Well they are certainly the vast majority. The other nationalities, come in via different ways. From getting a student visa, and not returning home for example.\nWe will see what their boycott does, especially if most American Citizens, spend their money that day as well.

Hip! Hip! Hooray! for you I come from from my father's side, mexican and from my mother's american. Both of our parent's had instill in us to be patriotic to our country, which is the good old U.S. of A. and I am proud to be an american. I am a 64 yr. old women and What you wrote about the illegals is very true. Why do they have to flaunt their flag in our soil, we do not go to Mexico and do the same. They should be ashamed of themselves in trying to force their ways in us. Can't they see that they all looked ridiculous doing that.

It doesn't surprise me.  The public discussion is so corrupted by silly partisanship that the truth about immigration is hard to find.  BTW, my wife is from Mexico and she is against illegal immigration.  Larry Kudlow has written a column that does the best job of getting it right so far.

I agree with you... it seems like the media likes to turn it into something more controversial than it already is.  You are right, we are not targeting Mexicans... we are targeting all ILLEGAL immigrants.  I don't get it.  Now, the Senate has reopened a bill that will allow this "guest worker program" that will grant all illegal immigrants citizenship.  It's a slap in the face for those who seek citizenship LEGALLY and had to wait in line.  \n\nCALL or email your congressman... or even the White House.  Looks like they want to pass this bill by Memorial Day.  What a tragedy for America.  This is going to lead to more illegal people coming over and eventually DEMANDING citizenship - why make laws if they are not enforced particularly ones that are meant to keep us safe?  We might as well make it a free for all and open our doors to anyone, regardless of who they are or what they have done.  I mean that is what we are doing now...

Illegal Latino immigrants and their supporters are ignorant as H3LL!!  They are the only nationality in our country here illegally, who protest in our country, fly their country's flags, disrespects our flag, leaders, laws, National Anthem, Citizens, abuse our welfare system, take slave wages for jobs Americans WILL do for a fair wage, cause incomes to plummet, are a drain on our economy, cause hundreds of hospitals to close, glut our ER's for non-emergency illnesses, glut our prisons, and on and on and on. NO! If I knew Spanish I wouldn't speak it now, out of respect for my own language, the language the majority of people here use. English is the unified language even if it isn't the official language. In order to assimilate in this country people need to speak the same language. Other immigrants manage to learn English, why can't they!? They need to go home get civilized then come back the LEGAL way!!

To all those mocking such a thought and dismissing it as fantasy, you have a very short memory. It has been less than 2 weeks since La Raza and Mecha showed us exactly how organized they really are. Have you all forgotten the tens of thousands of illegals and their supporters marching through the streets of our cities carrying not American flags, but Mexican flags?! You don't think that if they can manage to get amnesty, and start applying political pressure (they already are) that they will get voting rights for all of these people? And once they can vote, they will effectively vote as a bloc. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Once they own the politicians, they will own the country. If you don't think so, all you have to do is look West to California. I have seen voting blocs at work, and they are a force to be reckoned with. And unless we stand up now and stop what is happening, your grandchildren will be speaking Spanish in a third world nation - The USA.

hmmm.....don't see many of the regulars answering this question/statement do you.\n\nanother aspect of this immigration topic we have yet to pick the scab off.\n\nI love it.\n\nOh but I have to add....they are all going to post quickly with "illegal".....though that had nothing to do with the question.....that is going to be your basic answer.\n\nLMAO\n\ngood post!

the illegal ones have no right to be here ....PERIOD !!\n It is an insult to the many who have gone through the legal channels...try to get into Mexico illegally and steal their jobs,health care,governament grants,change their language & all their road signs and see were it lands you.\n I am not racist....I just believe the USA has allowed way too many to come here illegally....a few years ago a Cuban boy ,in Florida,was taken by the SWAT team,sent by sweetheart Rino...and sent back to Cuba to a father he didn't really know....how much money was wasted on all that?\n The people who are REALLY discriminated against are the Christians...they are not even allowed to display a nativity scene at Christmas time ?? The 10 Commandments are a hate crime...say God bless you and you offend someone...I just wonder how much money & time our nation has watsed on all this...when our nation was founded for the Christains to have the freedom to worship,without the government stepping in and controlling the churches....Seperation of Church & State was written so that wouldn't happen..yet it's turned & twisted now to make it the church HAS to OBEY the courts(governmentally ...appointed judges) or be sent to jail,fined,told they are "haters".....Now that's REAL discrimination in action !!\n Round up all those with Visas and those who are here legally,put a VeriChip in them...to keep track of their expired status....when it's up...home they go....the ones who can not prove they have a LEGAL right to be here...send them back home.helping the leagl Americans find a job....it's .cheaper than suporting them with free medical treatment,housing & food....which every hard working tax payers has to pay for...while our own LEGAL citizens go without.

Yeah, I already knew this before the video.  Any non-illegals that marched are just sheep that dont understand the issue at all.  Its time to get all the Illegals sent home.  Legals are great, but our social structure cannot handle this flood of illegals.  Some good news- the INS just arrewsted 70 illegals from a single builder in the Cincinnati area yesterday, and they say that more arrests are coming at other builders shortly.  They also arrested a number of the Americans that hired them, and raided the coirporate HQ to get the financial records.  Hopefully they step up this initiative nationally, and really start throwing them out.

all those who came to this country - the Land - from England, Spain, Ireland, Scotland, wherever ... since 1492, have been IMMIGRANTS to this country.\n\nMexicans aren't the only immigrants still coming - not to mention, while they might be from central America, they ARE indigenous to this Land -> like the American Indians are the Original Peoples also.\n\nEveryone else IS an "immigrant". You gonna toss yourself on back to where your ancestors came from too .. or are you just jumping on the "mob mentality" bandwagon regarding "immigrants" - sucking up what racists would have you believe?\n\n"Stealing our jobs" and "don't pay any taxes?! Indeed; as if! The BANKS encourage home-ownership (means paying property taxes, utilities and their taxes, etc.) and companies employ them (taxed again). THEN ... when they purchase food, gas, whatever, there are city, state and federal taxes too.\n\nWho doesn't pay taxes and exactly what job has been "stolen"? \n\nTry fussing about all the jobs leaving this country so the companies don't have to pay the higher wages and medical benefits in this country to whinners who buy crap made outside this country while driving their foreign-made cars, talking on cell phones that are foreign made too!\n\nsheeesh!

Ya, I so agree with you on this one, we are overpopulated enough and what the heck is happening to this country, the other day on cinco de mayo, they made the kids in class say the pledge of allegiance to the Spanish flag, this is America people, not Mexico or Spain, they don't pledge to our flag in other country's why should we pledge to there's...this is the USA and they are taking jobs away from us, and our tax's are paying them to pop baby's out left and right that they can't afford, ahhhhhhhhhhhh....thanks for letting me vent...God bless

True as rain my dear.  Nobody but you has said anything rational about the whole immigration thing without degrading the Hispanics.  There is no need to call names.  Somebody might have a valid solution to the problem for both ends, but blow the whole thing by using words like*******etc.  You made a very good point.  Good Question.

well... they messed themselves up. you cant report someone for feeling that way... lol. isnt this freedom of speech? especially on the internet??\n\nYou can't logically and honestly tell me that flying Mexican flags saying we demand you to make us citizens of your country... for being illegal... is the best way to go about bringing changes. RIIIGHHT. Mexicans are hard workers, yes they are. Grown and raised in California, I've grown up/am friends with a lot of Hispanics, but do it the right way... legal immigration.\n\nAnother thing... they (Hispanics) talk about how great their homeland is and how America sucks... wonder why none of them go back there? Show AMERICAN pride, not [insert country here] pride. That's what we had to do when we came over on ships... it's called assimilation.\n\nAnd do you honestly think they pay taxes? Please. They're undocumented. They do not pay taxes. You are crazy for thinking that. Then they send our money to banks out of country. Think what you want, but I would say they have screwed up by doing this right now. There is no basis. You're ILLEGAL... not LEGAL. NO as opposed to YES.

It's not only the Mexicans who want a chance to stay, its all the undocumented immigrants who want to legalize their stay. Why does everybody think it is just Mexicans? you seem very ignorant to me.

What unity are you guys talking about.  They leave their country because it sucks so bad and then they wave that flag around here trying to push a campaign for ILLEGAL immigrant rights.  If they hated their own country so much that they needed to cross the border then they don't need to wave the Mexican flag when they want American rights.

I understand how you feel.  I am very sympathetic about the immigrants wanting to become citizens.  I believe that I would also do what ever I could to make a better life for my family.  BUT... the present protests going on, has really ticked me off, and one of the biggest reasons was seeing them waving the Mexican flag.  If they would like to become AMERICAN citizens then they shoudl all be waving the AMERICAN flag.  To me anyone that is waving the Mexican flag is saying in effect " I don't really want to give up my sovereignty to my country, I want to be a Mexican citizen with the rights here also" You just can't have it both ways.  There is nothing wrong with being proud of where you came from, but to be an American, your loyalty should be to the US

Everyone calls everyone 'racist' which is a 'racist' remark itself. That word should be abolished from this category, it is moot point. Being of any particular color or ethnicity is NOT the issue when speaking of the illegal immigrants who come into the USA undocumented. The issue is the fact they are ILLEGAL which is against our laws. It doesn't matter where they came from they are still illegal, even if they came from Europe or Africa. The fact that SO MANY of them come from across our border with Mexico is the reason we are concerned with those illegally entering THERE. There are more than Mexicans entering at that border, we know that, and we know they joined with the other Latina's in the protest on May 1st flying the MEXICAN flag. Those from other countries of Spanish descent didn't fly their flags but supported the Mexican flag. The speeches spoke of Mexico and Mexican people, so naturally all those coming across the Mexican border are going to be referred to as Mexicans, maybe it's wrong but they brought it on themselves by flying that flag. They are all guilty of protesting and demanding rights they don't have. Illegal immigrants don't HAVE rights in the USA including those from Germany and Africa, etc. It is not racist to want laws enforced. By accusing people of being racist it only fuels their anger and actually pushes them to hate the accusers even more. It "creates" a racist mentality where none had been.
