To be fair its mostly illegal aliens protesting.  \nWhy should they even have a say in what the new immigration law is?  They should come over here legally.  \nIt isn't fair to the people who go through the proper channels for these people to come here and ruin it for them.\nThey're even making it harder for those of us who were born here to get ID's  and licenses and such, it makes me really mad.

You don't have ANY rights in my country unless you are a legal immigrant.  If you aren't legal, correct the situation or GET OUT! Quit using up our resources.  We need them to take care of our own people.  We can't take care of the whole blasted world.  If you're here legally, then of course none of this applies to you. And if you're illegal, then you're right---this country wouldn't be the place it is.  It would be much more able to take care of it's own citizens.

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.

I have several hispanic friends that agree with me when I say...\nI think May 1 is a great opportunity for the citizens of the United States that need jobs to go and apply \nWhy should we give immigrants that are here ILLEGALLY so many privileges. \nWould Mexico give me those special privileges? Absolutely not. \nIt makes me angry that they call this movement "The Great American Boycott". You are not AMERICAN if you are not a citizen! Call it the damn "Mexican Boycott"!!!\nI have a great idea! Let's have America boycott illegal immigrants for one day! No jobs, medical care, etc. I bet it would hurt them a whole lot more than it would hurt us. \nDon't wave your Mexican flags and then ask to be Americans! If you want to be an American then you better show it and waving your countries flag is NOT the way to do it! If you are so proud of your country and where you came from...STAY THERE!!!

As a U.S. citizen in Mexico I can vouch for a lot of this info.  Mexico would never allow demonstrations like the ones in the US today (May 1st).  The illegals should be happy they are in such a free country and stop waving the Mexican flag!

The current protests are ABSOLUTELY anarchy. It is not very smart to be doing something illegal, then making it known that you are doing it by shouting it out in a protest. \n\nPeople who are here illegally are breaking the law. There are steps that can be taken to be here legally and they should take them. It may be a difficult process, but as we all know Freedom isn't free, and if you want it bad enough, you should be willing to do what it takes to get it through legal means.\n\nWhat would happen if child molesters decided to protest the laws against child molesting. We would all say, that's crazy! How can they be "in the wrong" and demand the laws be changed so that they can do what they want. I don't think it is right. The best way to resolve the problem is to make it prohibitive for illegal people to be here, and beneficial for legal immigrants to be here. Our laws are there for a reason, America is not a free for all...and if you want to be a part of its citizenry, then you must follow the laws like the rest of the citizens. \n\nWhat gets me is all these people using emotionalism and saying that "human rights" are being violated. How is it a violation of human rights to tell people who entered this country illegally, got jobs, and basically are squatters and cheaters that at long last, YOU MUST DO THE RIGHT THING! \n\nI think they do not understand what the definition of "Human Rights" is. They are not being treated inhumanely, they are actually fortunate. Because they are being treated as any other American Citizen who breaks the law. ACTUALLY they are being treated BETTER than any other American Citizen who breaks the law. How many U.S. citizens do you know, can break the law, admit to it, protest about it....and not be punished unless or until congress decides to re-write the law in an effort to be as fair to THEM as possible. Come on! Just because they took low paying jobs and work hard at them, does not mean that they are free to break the law. And if we allow them to do it, then the country they are so eager to live in will cease to be the country it is supposed to be. \n\nIf what illegal immigrants want to do is to work, raise families, and live in a free society. Then, follow the LEGAL process to do so, learn the language, and the culture, pay your taxes, and become an American the right way!\n\nDon't break the law and then scream victim! You are not victims. The tax payers who support social programs are victims; the people who migrate to this country and become legal citizens are victims. Illegal immigrants are people who made a "CHOICE" to do the WRONG thing, and think they should be excused or rewarded for that choice. I say WAKE UP; take responsibility for your actions, and GET LEGAL or leave.

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?

Because they are idiots.  We citizens (and illegals for that matter) are merely peons.  If people would stop wasting their time on protests, etc..., and put their energy into something that is actually worth while, much could be accomplished.

Entitled to say angry things in a forum such as this?  yes... and you know why? b/c this is the United States... and that's why so many people want to come here.. for that freedom... to voice your opinion in anyway.\n\nEntitled to deny citizenship to those who deserve it while american born citizens sponge off welfare?  Apparently so, b/c that's what I see day in and day out.  I want to know exactly WHERE people that quote monetary figures are getting these figures from... b/c I know that some of those figures are NOT true, \n\nEntitled to fight for our country and defend us?  Well... Apparently only the poor and the ones who want citizenships... b/c that is the current stipulation...\n\nEntitled to allow the ones who wash our dishs, cook our food, do our laundry, clean our houses, mow our lawns, and pick our produce to live in constant fear?  Yes, b/c although we all have utilized their services, yet we turn a blind eye to their true peril to have the chance to come to the US... \n\nEntitled in those ways... I suppose yes... Entitled to close their minds to new ideas? yes... unfortunately...\nEntitled to vote? yes.. but do we no...\n\nIt's sooo sad... b/c we as American Citizens are sooo entitled to so many things, yet we do NOT vote, and we do NOT examine the real issues and look at things from the other side before we form opinions... And b/c we're Americans we are also given that freedom to do so....

If they are here illegally, they should have NO rights other than to be treated in a humane manner when they are ushered out.  They need to get the hell back where they came from, and if they wish to enter our country do so legally, just like thousands do every year.  I have no sympathy for those who enter our country illegally.  I welcome those who follow our laws and enter legally, no problem with those people at all.  If someone has no compunction about entering our country illegally, what other types of illegal conduct are they going to display once here?

While I do have some empathy for the illegal immigrants, this also blows me away!  I don't see how they have the gall to march in the streets of a country that they are in illegally, demanding rights and believing that they should have a say in the enacting of US laws.  Yes, I understand that they are human beings, and deserve to be treated humanely, but they don't have the right to barge in to a country and make these demands.  They have the right to do this in their own countries and this is what they should be doing in their own countries to try to make things better for themselves and their families there.  They need to direct this anger at the governments of their own countries who are the real reason why they find themselves seeking a better life in another country.  If they can gather together in such an organized fashion in the US, why can't they do the same at home and cause a REAL change for the better of their own people?  They need to be this forthright and demanding at home!  Why are they so hesitant to direct this energy and feeling of entitlement where it belongs - in their home countries???\n\nThis, to me, is like someone barging through the front door of your home and demanding that they are going to clean your house and mow your lawn and wash your car for $2.00 per hour and in return you are going to feed, clothe, and house them and pay for their children's education in your schools and you are going to pay for their medical care and you are going to be happy to do it or else they are going to get all of their friends and family to march in front of your house and protest and demand until you give in to their demands, because they are human beings and deserve this.

Just pretend you are Mexican and enter the country illegally then demand all the rights of a full citizen.  If anyone gives you any resistance start yelling RACIST!

While there are illegals of other nationalties here, the MAJORITY of ILLEGALS are from mexico! There is an estimated 11-30 million of them here in the U.S. ALREADY,with thousands sneaking in daily!!!!  THESE are the ones having their "protest" marches and bringing ATTENTION to the mexicans!!\n\nAnd,YES it is making a LOT of legal mexican people,VERY angry!!! My sister-in-law (who is mexican) said her friends and family are EMBARRASED by these illegals that have sneaked  over here, and start DEMANDING to be given "rights"!! I have mexican friends who feel the same way about illegals!\nI live in Arizona,which is the WORST state for illegals coming into the U.S.!!! We have had problems with illegals for YEARS !! I don't think people in the U.S. actually realized how MANY illegals are here,until they marched in OUR streets,carrying those UGLY mexican flags!!!! To see that MANY illeglals,marching and DEMANDING "rights", to see those pictures of OUR flag hung upside down UNDER the mexican flag,well that really PISSED a lot of people off!!!!!!!!! I hope this does NOT turn into a race war,because there are some really sweet mexican people,and as i said, my sister-in -law is mexican,and she and i are best buds!!!@
