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.

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??

I do.\n\nI understand people who come fleeing political, religious and other types of repression - and seeking asylum.\n\nBut what it boils down to with the *illegals* is this:\n\nThe moment you get a job, you're stealing.  You've either stolen someone's social security number to get hired "legally" or you're getting paid under the table (yes, I know, Americans do this too, but they go to friggin' JAIL when they're caught).  \n\nWhen I hear that they send $20 BILLION a year back to Mexico, it boils my blood.  They're draining our Medicaid/Welfare/Food Stamp resources, stealing the MOMENT they begin "work" here and then they PROTEST because people don't want to become a country of people who break the law the moment they step across the border?\n\nMy grandmother and my mother emigrated from Germany in 1958.  They had a host family, my grandmother and grandfather had jobs lined up, they had enough money to live on for a couple of months AND they knew English.   They began working the week after they arrived.  \n\nIt just BURNS me that it CAN be done right.  If there's a wait to get in, then WAIT.  What kind of character does it show to just go, "Oh, well, you have laws, I really want to come over now, so I'll just come ANYWAY."  America's going down the tubes with regard to education, manners and work ethic.  I'm not real big on people whose regard for themselves is greater than their regard for how their presence can negatively impact others becoming a large part of this society.\n\nSend the illegals back where they came from.

Honey, you are barking up the wrong tree by trying to rationalise this problem with those who are willingly crossing our borders and breaking our laws.  Why SHOULD they change this behaviour?  Why SHOULD they fix their own country's system?  They can come here, illegally, but no one seems to mind.. they can work for cash and pay no taxes and take that money back to Mexico.. AND they can apply for and RECIEVE public assistance..INCLUDING welfare CHECKS.. and all of THAT money goes back to Mexico as well.  WE are funding their country and their government only has to tell them HOW.   Don't think for a minute that this is fantasy.. I worked for the department of Social Services in California and I was REQUIRED to give them the benefits even though they were illegal.. and I was FORBIDDEN to even SAY the words 'green card' to them. why?  because it might OFFEND them!!  Needless to say, I didn't stay long.. but I did take the time to talk to many of my clients.. yes, the illegal ones [after all, they made up 90%!! of my case load] and they explained the entire process to me.. all the time LAUGHING at how STUPID we Americans are to ALLOW them to do it.  So, I know what I'm talking about.

yes they are  A Bunch of Hypocrites\n\ni think we should adopt some of their immigration border polices !

This is what I'm saying. I cannot believe that our legislators are allowing these people to bully them! And the immigrants themselves,(not all, of course, but many i encounter) are angry at U.S. citizens for wanting stricter laws enforced on immigration. Do these people not realize how much we pay for when they immigrate illegally? And i don't just mean monetarily either. sheesh!

I agree, illegal is the word, if they are here illegally they need to go back to their home country's and try to get here legally. We should have no tolerance for people that think that our laws do not count. There are many hard working people that want to come to the United States that are doing it the right way, and they should be honored.

It is a difficult question, but many of them could probably qualify for resident alien status, if not outright citizenship.  The fact is that their parents put them in this unfair situation by bringing them here illegally.  Perhaps there should be an easier way to enter the country legally, but if you enter as a criminal, you should be treated as a criminal.

I'm against; but i do realize that a small portion should be given amnesty,(Speaking of only thousands, not millions) The rest should be deported back to their native land and some should be given a temporary VISA on probation to see if it would work for them to be citizens, If not, they go back too, But only people who honestly turn themselves in should be given such opportunities.\n\nAn idealist view would be to say " they're all illegal. GET THEM OUT". But in reality, that wouldn't happen.\nI just think we should stop anymore from coming but deal with the people we already have.\n\nSometimes you just have to meet in the middle.

I hope it's a very long tunnel .... :(  I'm sorry, but with all this shouting racist by most people who either are illegal immigrants, or for some mysterious reason pro illegal immigration, one can't but help feeling a bit peeved ... to say the least ... I mean, since when did it become racist to want to protect the borders and uphold the law of the land?

The Illegals are going home. The Illegals are going home.   More and more everyday.  Now maybe they can come the right way.  And To those with sob stories--we have plenty here-who have been waiting longer,\n\nLooks like some-are afraid so they won't address this.

So, the immigrants that started the United States were legal, eh?  Guess again.  The British government declared many of their actions illegal.  Since they were British citizens. this makes them illegal as well.  Also, if we deport all of the illegal immigrants, how do you think our economy will fare?  Do you really think that citizens will take the jobs that the illegal aliens have?  There is no way.  Also, almost all, if not all of the people participating in the petitions were naturalized citizens.

What's wrong with them registering with the government, or some legal organization.  They can commit a crime here and disappear back to Mexico.  It's not like they came here illegally in the first place.  (Part one)

Is Hispanic friends supposed to mean illegal immigrant friends?  I have a bunch of Hispanic friends. However, most Hispanics are here legally and most Hispanics are opposed to illegal immigration.\n\nIf I have any illegal immigrant friends, I am unaware of it.  \n\nI support legalization of qualified illegal immigrants who have real roots here.  I don't think it is fair to those who have been waiting.  However, after so many years of not enforcing the law and letting them get their roots so deep into this country, I would just feel bad deporting them.  \n\nI am not so sure about the way the guest worker program for future immigrants is shaping up on the Senate floor however.  They are billed by Bush as temporary, but the Senate is saying they (the ones yet to come under an increase in legal immigration rate) can become permanent residents with a path to citizenship.  I don't think that is good for anyone here, including most particularly the Hispanics or others performing low wage jobs.  There will be a perpetual 'race to the bottom' for wage levels, in my opinion.

I will tell you and everyone else why in my opinion they act the way that they do.\nBecause they choose to be criminal trespassers with the very first step they take into MY wonderful country. And once they have gotten away with that first criminal act, it just seems to come naturally to them. They still have all the basic needs of any person in a foreign land, food shelter, clothing, transportation, etc. How would you go about getting these things? Find "your" people, they will be sure to help you get the things you need, legally or otherwise for a price.Thats the problem, Americas lacadaisical attitudes towards criminal tresspassers, allowing them to flood this country with absolutely no penalties other than a free meal, some water and a free ride back accross the border 1/4 mile. We have created a criminal culture with our apathy towards these people, now we are all upset because they have finally become so bold as to actually demand to be recognized as citizens simply because they have been sucessful at remaining undetected for so long.\n       They are not "illegal immigrants", "undocumented workers", or any other of the politically correct terms they prefer to be called. \n        They are criminal tresspassers within the boundaries of a sovereign nation.  And all who support them, or aid them are to be considered traitors to this nation . \n        They are all criminals and no one will ever convince me otherwise. \n         They will remain criminals until they become inmates.

u know their illegal right?
