Deport illegal immigrants on sight. If there is another big protest by illegals, get police on the scene, surround them, and bring them back to the border. Then, build a wall or an electric fence of some sort to keep the illegal immigrants out. Then, talk to Vincente Fox and tell him to tell his citizens that they must stop. Right now, he is giving out packets on how to illegally immigrate to the U.S.

We gave up our country without a fight.  Now millions of illegals have invaded our jobs, health care, schools and dragged down our economy.  And they expect free benefits from the American taxpayers. I'm disgusted.\n\nI couldn't get health care in Pasadena, Texas because the illegals were booked for 6 months. I couldn't get a job because I can't speak Spanish.  I was so upset I moved to West Tennessee where there are few illegals. I got health care and a job no thanks to them...)(

They ran out of excuses to ditch school so using "protest" as a form of excuse.  That's why they shouldn't be here because the take things for granted and honor what priviledge they have.\n\nMaybe that's why those groups don't understand the word "illegal", and with no dignity whatsoever go demand for rights they dont even have.  No shame!

Call the INS and ask them. When you do give them your location. One more thing if youre going to go DONT CARRY MEXICAN FLAG. If you want to be treated like AMERICAN call the US Flag. Also if youre a student and you see a reporter and they ask why are you protesting KNOW THE REASON FUCKING REASON WHY.

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.

There is a way to stop it but Americans are too lazy to do it.  Look at how effective the united protests by the Mexicans were?  Americans have a propensity to just sit on their butts and complain without taking any action.  If millions gathered throughout the U.S. to protest illegal immigration, our politicians would take notice and do something fast.  Remember, there is an election coming, and politicians care more about votes than anything else.

I have said that before!  If they don't like the conditions in their own countries, they should stay there and work to make changes (protest in their own countries).\n\nTHE BEST THING TO DO in protest to the protest - is, when businesses shut down and walk-outs occur -- show them just how well we Americans CAN get along without them!\n\nI love America and people around the world, but crowding America because things are not right in their own countries is NOT the way to make their countries better.  And that's where the real problems are.  America has enough problems (of its own) without "illegals" taking our jobs and money.  [I'm not convinced they are doing jobs that "Americans won't do" and they are sending cash out of the country too.] \n\nWHY SHOULD I FEEL GUILTY ABOUT WANTING TO PROTEST MY HERITAGE?!!!  This "Day without Immigrants" is an outrage!  America has grown and developed and it's time to shut the borders!  How long will it be before America is in the condition(s) that causes people to want to leave it?  You can't screw up a country and then leave because you don't like it.  You need to change the country.  \n\nIf you're going to argue that "that's the way America started", well I say, "go find some other country that's uinhabited and live there!"       \n\nThis is a complicated issue, and my heart goes out to people that want to leave their home countries because they are under such duress -- but the solution is NOT coming to America.    \n\nMy blood pressure's up to high to go on...  :)

Source: \nImmigration Watchdog \nhttp://www.immigrationwatchdog.com/ \n\nOn March 17, 2006, an estimated 25,000 illegals from Ireland marched boldly in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in NY without fear of any enforcement of our immigration laws. I told my friends at the time: this unchecked in-your-face, "we demand respect" display by illegals will embolden them to demand they be given a free pass and when that doesn't happen, it will reach the point of violence.\n\nOn March 24, 2006, hundreds of high school students in LA walked out of their classrooms to protest the newest piece of completely unnecessary immigration legislation by the incompetent fools in Congress. Within hours 15,000 criminals (illegals) were marching in Phoenix and roughly 10,000 in Georgia. \n(Seems Fairly ORGANIZED) \nOn March 25, 2006, waving their Mexican flags chanting the same worn out "racist" garbage and demanding their "rights" 50,000 of these criminals marched in Denver, thousands in North Carolina and in Sacramento. All because the House of Representatives has passed legislation that would make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally, impose new penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants and erect fences along one-third of the U.S.-Mexican border                                               \n\n (AGAIN Seems  ORGANIZED-- On A NATIONAL Level)\n     ************************************************\n\nSent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 7:35 PM \n\nSubject: VIDEO: HISPANICS ADMIT THEY ARE ENGAGED IN "CIVIL WAR" WITHIN THE UNITED STATES\n\nSource: \n\nImmigration Watchdog \n\nhttp://www.immigrationwatchdog.com/...\n\nThey openly state they have "The armor, the infantry and the artillery" to wage war here.This video PROVES beyond any doubt, the people marching in our streets under Mexican and other foreign flags, over pending immigration legislation, are engaged in a WAR against our nation.The U.S. Government has failed its duty to protect this land from these invaders; invaders who are openly stating they intend to takeover a portion of this land and carve out their own "Mestizo nation of Aztlan."\n\nClick below to play the video \n\n     http://tinyurl.com/pqzpe \n\nRead The Story-Watch The Video-You Decide

Definitely against.  I think there are way too many illegals in our country to make them all go back to Mexico.  I don't think they will go back without a fight.

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?

I have faith that with the pro-ILLEGAL immigrant rallies yesterday more people are opening their eyes and becoming just as upset as the rest of us that these people who have already shown a total and utter disregard for our laws are now demanding rights that they would have had had they went through the legal process to come here instead of coming here ILLEGALLY and living off of wellfare and getting free health services and not paying the taxes which help to pay for these things.  Most of the media stories I've been reading today are saying that one of the things the rallies have served to do is stir up opposition to amnesty and guest worker programs.  The Legal Citizens here in America are making their voices heard as more and more become aware of what is taking place in OUR country.

Sounds like you're pretty fed up with millions of people coming into your country illegally and taking jobs away from your fellow citizens.  Why are you so angry?  Haven't you heard they are only taking jobs no unemployed, or Mcjob employed American wants?  You must be a racist to resent this invasion of your country, helping to hold down wages, draining the social services budgets, straining the healthcare & the school systems and raising the crime rate.   \nDon't you realize that the money these illegal people send home, draining our economy, is Mexico's second largest source of national income, second only to the tourist dollars Americans spend down there.  Surely you realize that, unlike people everywhere else throughout history, these people want to stay at the bottom and have their children stay at the bottom.  They will never become dissatisfied and rebel.   No, it will be a first time ever in history that a group of people will like to have no chance to move up in a society.   Of course we OWE it to them and not to our own citizens.  Where do I go to apply for illegal immigrant status and get my free lunch, medical care, lower student costs, and a chance to get a better life?

Hm... Maybe you should read the news of the big CRACKDOWN on ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. \n\nTry another country.

If you look at the statistics, the majority of illegal immigrants who are putting a strain on our reasources are Hispanics....and they are the first to protest that they aren't "getting enough rights."  Pathetic.  The majority make no effort to learn our language or our culture, they have been tearing down our flag and replacing it with theirs, and they are DOWNRIGHT RUDE.  Canada has always been a gret resource for the United States and the people who come from up north generally are friendly and make an effort to embrace our country.  On another note.....\n\nWe are closing our borders to terrorists and illegal immigrants on July 4th, and everyone everywhere can help! If you are interested or would like to participate, please visit our website for more information: http://www.getmycountryback.com... \n\nPlease help spread the word, tell a friend!!!!!!

I think most of the kids don't have a clue what they are rioting about, I mean protesting...\n\nThe protest is about ILLEGAL people coming over here ILLEGALLY and demanding free services from the Legal people here in the USA.\n\nIf you don't get the point, they are here ILLEGALLY.  They broke the LAW to get here and reside here ILLEGALLY.\nThey have NO business here.\nThe reason they are having to debate this in the first place is the fact that if we don't, our entire Social Security Program to support the elderly will fail because they are getting from it.  Our medical system will fail because they are getting free services.  \n\nThe kids that I have been told about and have witnessed here in TX have come to complete anarchy!  They are not protecting, they are RIOTING!\n\nI for one am glad they are.  It shows that they have no wants and desire for law and that the illegal people should be taken back to the border and sent home.  Then they can apply for citizanship or a green card like every other Legal immigrant does...\n\nThis kind of thing Pisses off the Legal immigrants to no end.  They worked hard and paid a lot to get here.. why should Illegals come over and get a free pass?\n\nI suggest they go back to Mexico and protect to President Foxx about how the mexican government should be taking better care of it's citizans.....

It was not just the illegals that were marching. I am a US born citizen and I marched and wore my white shirt. And although you who don't understand the cause  and don't think a point was made. I believe the govt. might think differently. Because many of us that marched are US citizens and we do Vote. And that is something that the govt. cares about. And we did protest in English and Spanish as many of us legal or illegal are bilingual. And I have read answers in the forum  were many people say to wait in line and do the paperwork to come to this country legally. Well obviously you don't know anything about coming to this country legally from another country.You cant just fill out paperwork. A few years back anyone could get a visitors Visa to come here but Mexico,central and south American countries were cut off. However, it seems like all other countries still have that type of Visa available. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I believe that is why they didn't join the protests. Some people are here illegally because their visitors Visa expired and they just stayed here. Others crossed the border with no questions asked by the border officials because they look "white". And countless amounts have crossed running and hiding and many have died just to come here. You have no idea what it's like. I can only begin to imageing the pain and desperation of leaving your family behind to find a better life. You don't understand that they look up to this country and then when they get here they are mistreated. The point is there never should have been a law that made it illegal for anyone to come to this country. Maybe just different policies or different requirements.
