Wildfl0wer seems to be on this kick that since the US is the land of the free with justice for all that illegals can march into the country and do whatever the hell they feel like. Sadly, this common viewpoint, is however wrong. And very much so. \n\nNo, we are not all immigrants, no we did not all immigrate to the US at one point in time. Most africans were brought here as slaves, while quite a few irish and other caucasian nationalities were brought over as cheap labor or indentured servants. Others are descendents from the multitude of families that were the original founding families of this nation. In all cases that doesn't make them immigrants. This is just an ignorant pro-immigration arguement that is as tired as the day is long...\n\nYes, we would pick fruit and clean houses. Guess what, prior to the surge of illegal immigration and cheap under-the-table labor that the criminals(and you are criminals, you broke the law by coming here) brought to the states American citizens preformed those jobs on a daily basis. Don't believe you're special just because your people now seem to have the perverbial market cornered on that type of labor industry. We did it before, and I guarentee you that there are legal US citizens right now who would be damned happy to have that job.\n\nAnd onto the topic at hand, do these criminals have a right to protest? No, they do not. They have no rights as far as I'm concerned. They've done nothing to earn any rights or privledges other then the cost of a tank of gas to export them back to where they came from. \n\nIf we were to protest in half the countries that illegals come from we would be jailed or worse. \n\nAnd don't fool yourselves, when you're crying out against any sort of law that is pre-established by the governing system you are in fact protesting against that very government because they were the ones to make it. Don't try to cop an excuse that you're not protesting the government, just the law because they are the same thing. Any other belief is a fallacy of logic.\n\nUntil you have a green card that says you're a citizen, you have no rights or freedoms granted by the contstitution. And depending on your line of work, even then they don't apply to you. What gives me the right to even say this? Freedom of speech, because I *AM* a US citizen. And my job gives me the right because every day I go out to defend it against the people of this world who would like nothing more then to see America in ashes. \n\nI, personally, am tired of tax payer dollars wasted on those who don't pay taxes. The money spent to educate these criminals has much better potential of use by making changes and reforms in our existing education system and raising that to a level that's comprable to the rest of the world. Quit wasting money on illegals, put it to good use teaching our legal children.

What parts of the Declaration of Independence or it's Amendments extend to illegals in this country?  \n\nFreedom of Speech?  \n\nSure.  Everyone has a right to freedom of speech but only if they're legal.  They also have a right to get legal and pay taxes just like I do.  They have a right to health benefits and to not be taken advantage of by big or small business owners but not if they're illegal.  Illegal means they're breaking the law.\n\nIf I were breaking the law, I'd be put in jail for it.  No question about that because that's America for you.  But you won't see me jumping the borders into Mexico then starting my own "freedom of speech" protest marches or demanding that the Mexican (or any other country) government take care of me.  DEMANDING it.  Not getting the same benefits and opportunities as any legal citizen?  Then just DEMAND it because they are "illegal".  They are shooting themselves in the foot by protesting.  \n\nLegal immigrants can protest all they want.  I'm sure they'd feel the same way if I went to their country and started my own protest marches.\n\nI'm a taxpayer.  You can call me whatever you want, but I'm still a taxpayer.

We, Pro-Americans, must take the initiative to stand up and fight for our rights to be heard.  Everyone is always trying to be polite & not speak what they really feel.  Until we come together & force the government to listen to what we want... things will remain the same.  I can't wait until the !@#$% hits the fan!!!  America will come out on top of this invasion of "ILLEGAL" immigrants problem.

u know their illegal right?

No, no, and of course not. Illegal aliens are here by choice and they need to fight for their civil rights in their home countries. It also does not make you racist in any way to oppose invasion of your country, no matter what color you are or what color the invaders are.

i dont think they should protest. i remember when they started protesting a few weeks back they were waving the MEXICAN flag if you can believe it!! LOL

Bravery allows one  to speak as such ......I agree with you wholeheartedly.... but as long as the federal government continues to shirk it's duty in regards to immigration reform... I am afraid that the Americans will not leave the "illegal" alone because they feel that current law gives them the privilege and the right to continue to oppress and down trod the illegal immigrant

Great question.  I agree with you.  Mexicans were allowed to protest and NO ONE tried to stop them but the Minutemen assembled PEACEFULLY and they were threatened and abused.  Hmmm a little strange.  In Arizona, a mexican national raised his mexican flag above an American flag on GOVERNMENT property.  An American student took it down and burned it.  Here is my issue: the white kid is in trouble.  BUT hanging another country's flag above an American flag on GOVERNMENT property is an ACT OF WAR.  But the mexi isn't in trouble.  hmmmmmmmm I think we should react appropriately

Yes, and kindly start in the Los Angeles County area of California. They are committing an illegal act and as any American citizen can tell you, if I were committing an illegal act I'd be arrested, prosecuted and jailed. ALL ILLEGALS NEED TO BE SHIPPED HOME AT THEIR COUNTRIES EXPENSE.

There protesting but yet Americans taxes go to give these "illegals" free health care. These "illegals" are just trying to change America to there liking.\n\nhttp://www.illegalimmigrantprotest.com/

You are right. If you know history you can see the only Americans that lived there all their lives are the navajos, siouxs, cheyennes, etc. \n\nSo I do not see them protesting... do you?

How Do I Feel About The Protests??\nIll TELL You How I Feel\n\nThe media estimates that almost ONE MILLION ILLEGAL FOREIGN MIGRANTS and their advocates Militantly Marched in the streets of America UNDER THE FLAG OF MEXICO. Their agenda is for our FEDERAL LAWS TO BE IGNORED , and their Criminal Trespass into these sovereign United States to be rewarded with unlimited benefits that include the rights of American Citizenship! \n\nAs these large mobs of foreigners marched proudly UNDER THE FLAG OF A FOREIGN COUNTRY to demand the right to live and prosper in the United States, they claimed that the issue is immigration. But their own actions reveal what is in fact a determined effort to FORCE Americans to ACCEPT LARGE FOREIGN COLONIES in our midst, and to pay handsomely for the privilege of doing so. We have both the RIGHT and the moral MORAL OBLIGATION to DEFEND AMERICA , and JUST SAY NO !!!\n\nIt REALLY BURNS My *** That A Large Portion Of The Latin Community (Citizens And ILLEGAL ALIENS ALIKE) Are MARCHING On Our Cities Carrying The FLAG Of ANOTHER NATION , And DEMANDING The Rights Of AMERICAN Citizens... THAT Is The ICING On The Cake \n\nFolks .. You WANT To Be Treated Like AMERICANS Yet You Will Protest Under A FOREIGN FLAG ... And You Expect ME To RALLY With You??? And SUPPORT Your Cause??? \n\nI Think NOT.. Perhaps You Should Realize Exactly What It Is That You Are Trying To Accomplish... Because To ME It Looks Like An INVASION From A Foreign Army .. \n\nWe cannot allow illegals to remain in this country because it sends the very clear message to anyone from any country: Go ahead and enter the U.S. illegally. Nothing will be done to you. The stupid Americans will pay to feed you, clothe you, educate your kids and pay for your medical care while they themselves are forced to go without because they can't afford health insurance because their tax dollars are paying for you! Ha, Ha! Go ahead and enter the U.S. illegally If you're a terrorist, no problem, go ahead and build your cells, blow up buildings and schools. Nothing will happen because American politicians are too cowardly to repel this invasion and deport the millions of illegals aready here while the illegals rub their lawlessness in our faces.\n\nYou Wish To Become AMERICANS With The RIGHTS Of AMERICANS .. \nYet Many Of You REFUSE To SPEAK My/Our LANGUAGE \nAnd REFUSE To Honor My/Our Flag \nWell I REFUSE To Let YOU Continue To Burden My Pocket \nAnd The Pockets Of My "PROUD TO BE AMERICAN" BROTHERS \nOf ANY DESCENT\n\nYou Call It INTOLERANCE???Call It What YOU Wanna Call It-\nIf It Makes YOU Feel Better-\nCall It RACISM,\nIf It Makes YOU Feel Better\nCall Me A NAZI\nIf It Makes YOU Feel Better\nCall It WHATHEF**KEVERYOU Wanna Call It-\nAs Long As It Makes YOU Feel Better\n\nWhats Gonna Make ME Feel Better???\n\nI Pledge ALLEGIENCE To The FLAG\nOf The UNITED STATES Of AMERICA\n\nI KNOW Im Not A Racist\nI KNOW Im Not A Nazi\nI KNOW Im A PROUD AMERICAN CITIZEN \nAnd A HARDWORKING TAXPAYER\nAnd A MILITARY VETERAN\nAnd NOTHING YOU Call ME Is Gonna Change That\n\nYou DISGRACE My NATION???-\nYou DISGRACE My FLAG???-\nNO SOUP FOR YOU!!!\n\nThe LATIN AMERICAN COMMUNITY Brought This Upon Themselves\n\nPUSH HR 4437 AS IS-NO AMNESTY\n\nDEPORT ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS UPON DISCOVERY\n\nHasta La Vista BAYBEE--LeEmigre Is ON THE WAY

I agree with both of your issues!  However, i do not agree with the statement that they "are here whether we like it or not."  I don't like it!  Most Americans don't like it!  If we protest enough, our elected Officials will eventually do something about it.\n\nWrite your Congressmen and Senators.  Write to the President.  Inundate them with mail that demands what is right for America.  Withhold your votes from anyone who does not make "Restoring America for Americans" the cornerstone of their political platform.  Withhold your votes from anyone who doesn't make ILLEGAL immigration a major plank of their platform.  Let your elected Officials know this.\n\nBe proactive ~ America is so close to apathy that it is mind-boggling.  It's time for another Revolution, people ~ one with no weapons other than words and quiet determination.\n\nStop thinking "Republican" or "Democrat" and start thinking "AMERICAN!"  Vote a straight ticket and you grow a row of idiots.  VOTE THE CANDIDATES WHO ARE FOR AMERICANS ~ born or LEGALLY naturalized.\n\nA standing ovation to Bullseye for his input above.  I've copied it and will now email it to everyone on my list.\n\nADDITIONAL DETAILS:\n\nBecause the pro-illegal alien lobby has a bottomless pit of money and can hire PR people to spin (and fabricate) anything any way, there are an undue number of myths and lies that the public (and many politicians) has bought into. The FACTS are:\n \n1. It is NOT racist to call these people "illegal aliens" In fact, "illegal aliens" is the only term used in federal laws and regulations to describe criminals (and they ARE criminals) who come into our country illegally. They are not illegal immigrants, not undocumented immigrants, not migrant workers, and not day laborers - they're ILLEGAL ALIENS.\n \n2. Mexico is NOT a poor country. It has the fifth richest economy in the world, and by sending its teeming masses to our country, that status keeps on rising. Mexico has more resources per square mile than the U.S. and plenty of money to take care of its own people. Why should the taxpayers of this country subsidize Mexico's corruption?\n \n3. Illegal aliens are NOT necessarily coming here to work. Lou Dobbs recently reported that 33 percent of our prison population is now comprised of non-citizens. Plus, 36 to 42 percent of illegal aliens are on welfare. So, for a good proportion of these people, the American dream is crime and welfare, not coming here to work.\n \n4. Illegal aliens are NOT doing work Americans won't do. What jobs won't Americans do? In most states, Americans still clean their own houses, do their own landscaping, clean hotel rooms, work in restaurants and fast food places, paint houses, DO CONSTRUCTION WORK, work in airports, etc. - just like we have the past 200 years before "our" government allowed these people to invade our country. There are 18 million Americans who cannot find a job, so illegal aliens who are coming here to work do so at peril to American workers.\n \n5. Illegal aliens absolutely do not contribute more than they cost. Certainly the millions in prison and on welfare aren't contributing a dime to our economy, and the ones who are working often are paid in cash with no deductions for taxes at all. The ones who use fraudulent social security numbers and qualify to pay taxes and social security have so many deductions for dependents that they pay little if any taxes. We have seen them pay less than $100 in taxes and get back $4,000 refunds (thanks to earned income tax credits and multiple dependents). The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that the average Mexican illegal alien costs U.S. taxpayers a whopping $55,000 each. Some bargain, eh?\n \n6. The economy does NOT depend on illegal aliens. Sure, greedy CEOs (making $50 to $150 MILLION a year) and business owners depend on illegal aliens, but due to #3, #4

Immigrants are great, but these are ILLEGAL ALIENS.  It looks to me like a great opportunity for INS to find all these lawbreakers in one place and initiate arrests.  With our being told which companies HAD to shut down completely or partially, that the Attorney General, Homeland Security, or whomever is responsible for fining companies who do hire illegal aliens, really just have a list now that they can follow. \n\nThe protest offended, but didn't really affect me, or the town in which I live.  The following things bothered me:\na.  these protests were for ILLEGAL ALIENS, NOT regular immigrants.  Their PR machine was great in blurring the lines here.\n\nb.  The Mexican flags were still very prominent.\n\nc.  I was soooo tired of seeing all the posters written in Spanish!!!!!!  And the signs that were translated to English were often very critical of this counry that they claim to love so much.\n\nd.  One of the organizers, last name Rodriguez I think, was on some TV shows the day before.  He made very negative comments about the U.S. in general.  It seemed he was leading up to the one comment that made me wonder about the REAL agenda.....he said, paraphrasing, that the southern part of the U.S. was STOLEN from Mexico, and that the people just wanted to reclaim what was rightfully theirs.  Okay, we did fight and confiscate land way back in our early history......but wasn't just about every country formed by gaining land from somebody??  \n\ne.  The whole thing would have been so much less significant, had our media simply refused to give these demonstrations wall to wall media coverage!!\n\nf.  Do these illegal aliens have the constitutional right to assemble like this?  This is just a question I wondered about.......they are not citizens.\n\ng.  IF these folks are really protesting for rights, better conditions, etc., well, I can't help but be curious as to why they don't just demonstrate in their own countries where conditions must be worse.  Couldn't they use this energy to focus on problems at home?\n\nh.  I can't help but wonder WHEN the LEGAL CITIZENS of the U.S. will step up to the plate, care enough to organize as efficiently as these folks, and take our voices and opinions to the streets, all the way to Washington D.C.\n\nWhew, got some of that off my chest!  I understand the plight of these illegal aliens, and this IS a country of immigrants, but it's also a county of laws.  What do you think would happen to us if thousands of U.S. citizens decided to sneak into Mexico, Colombia, Venzuela, Russia, China, etc., and march on their capitols & make demands for rights while waving American flags and speaking mainly English?  How about trying that in Cuba or Iran?  \n\nWelcome to all immigrants, just do it LEGALLY!  We do have a process in place for that.  Many of us feel that we and our country are being greatly disrespected by the ILLEGAL ALIENS. (I am ever so tired of the term "undocumented workers"..............does that mean that we citizens can drive around freely with no drivers' licenses, and simply be "undocumented drivers"?  Political correctness can get way out of hand.\n\nI just about forgot one other thing that burns me, and that's the so-called Spanish version of our National Anthem!  This is not a translation, the lyrics are totally different.  This is the United States.  We speak English.  A common language is necessary for assimilation.  And our National Anthem should be sung in English!  What's next, translating our Constitution, the Pledge of Allegience, etc??

Do they have a right to do it?  ABSOLUTELY.\n\nDoes it piss me off?  ABSOLUTLEY\n\nWill they get my help by doing this BS?  ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Not only do we have a real problem with the uninsured immigrants using resources provided by tax-paying Americans, they are also bringing their drug crime to our nation. \n\nRecently, they held a demonstration here in Southern California for "their right?" Illegal aliens don't have the rights American citizens have. Not only that, if they are leaving their country because they don't have the opportunity for a good life there, WHY DON"T THEY PROTEST IN THEIR COUNTRY????? They have a president too. They have government too. They have their own congress, lawyers, judges and doctors too.
