Exactly what are the protests about? Immigration? Or enforcement of the law against illegal immigration?
340777
These protests are a way for a large group of criminals and their supporters to make an attempt to use numbers as a way of demanding that law enforcement turn it's back on their duty, claiming they are in control of the U.S. economy as their leverage.  \nThese illegals and their supporters are touting themselves as people who are fighting for immigration reform while at the same time turning their backs on current laws.\nThese criminals and their supporters are also making bold statements such as they will vote into office officials who will supplement their specific agenda, forgetting that only documented citizens of America are allowed to vote in elections.

The media is focused on this issue as a civil rights movement.  I just can't see it and yes I think the media is trying to confuse, or distract us.  With the African American movement, the protests were about making the playing field equal.  But they protested for the right to do everything, they even fought to be seen as equals in patriotism, outshining alot of the majority.  The illegals are disrespectful, demanding and trying to threaten our economy so we'll give in to them.  I think if you're going to protest in America you should at least write your sign in English.  Don't worry though, I think the media may be switching sides.  At least they are here.  Last night they praised an immigrant that fired all of her services that employed mexicans because she didn't know how to tell which ones were legal.  She fought hard to become a citizen and she didn't think anyone should demand special treatment.

I agree.  There hasn't been any protests that I've been able to get to so far, but there needs to be some protests all across the country.\n\nAll of these pro-illegal immigrants should be forced to compensate all of these innocent people who have had their identities and social security numbers stolen by these illegals who invade this country not caring if they hurt Americans or not. And compensate them times ten the financial losses for all of the time and hardship they've had to suffer for these lowlifes.

Mob mentality has a lot to do with their behavior.  People will do things in a group they would never do if alone.\n\nThe immigration issue is a difficult one.  What needs to happen is that workable, enforceable laws must be established and supported that allow LEGAL access for those wanting to work in our country, but they must work within the system.  If they don't, and we allow that, it's an insult to every immigrant who waited and worked to get here legally.\n\nWe simply cannot allow our laws to not only be disrespected and disregarded, but to have to financially support those who are breaking our laws as well.  That recipe will lead to disaster for our state and our country.  So change the laws.  Establish a win win situation for both sides.\n\nOur neighbors across the street worked three jobs each to get enough money to legally bring their relatives to the United States.  Is it fair that their hard work and sacrifice be dismissed, and the same rights granted to those who flaunt the laws of our land and "sneak" in?\n\nIt's a difficult situation, but we cannot abandon the rule of law.

Love the link! The people getting upset by this are the ones it's referring to. It is not the duty of the United States to unconditionally open up its borders and let in all comers. It's foolish and is getting out of control. Look at what's been happening in France with all of the Muslim immigrants that have been coming in unchecked all these years. Open riots in the streets of Paris! This is what America is becoming at a high rate of speed. Legal immigration = OK. Illegal immigration = NO MAS!

The one thing you are wrong about it was not organized by people who entered this country illegally. These illegals are not educated enough to put on an Easter hunt no less a mass protest. This is done by very organized advocates for a political power agenda. These people are the most anti American group in the country and dangerous.\nThey are gaining more power political. \nWe have let this issue get so far out of hand. No matter what happens tomorrow it is only the beginning.

Well I live near L.A. and driving home from work yesterday I saw no less than 10 people on the sides of roads and at bus stops waving Mexican flags and urging cars to beep.  It is nice to see them so vehemently praising their country.  So then why do they fight to stay here?\n\nThey are protesting because we are passing (or trying to pass) a national law that makes it a felony to be here illegally.   There are many nuances about this bill that make people upset, mainly that churches will have to check papers before offering charity aid to people.  This won't fly (due to separation of church and state), but other than that piece, this bill is a good idea.  \n\nThey come here and take jobs and don't pay (enough) taxes, and drain on society, but get mad when we "insult their mexican heritage".  Then go back to Mexico.  There is no law that says we have to open our gates.  Look at other countries where getting a visa is next to impossible.  We should be more like that.  This is simply my opinion.

You must be a nonlaw abiding person. Illegal means illegal. They are breaking the law. So how are they helping are economy?

Who told you that? Some legal Mexicans are protesting right along with the illegals while some just forgot where they came from. Question. What do you have against Mexicans?

An "I Quit" match between the two...\n\nNo disqualifications everything legal (cricket bats, whatever)\n\nAnd another thing, if we do set this up then I'm willing to bet that all the legalists and all the pro-illegals will be there too.\n\n(Legalists  + Pro-Illegals) x one place =  massive riot/violence. For security I think we'll need National Guard troops to keep both sides from killing each other while the fight goes on.

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.

ILLEGAL immigration is the issue at hand. Prefixes before words change the meaning of the word. LEGAL immigration is a whole different subject, one I support. \n\nI think the ILLEGAL immigration situation is out of control.
