How are illegals getting away with protesting in the streets when anti-war protesters were prohibited?

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.

Considering they are illegal, and not citizens, they have no rights and are not entitled to any freedoms in this country. Thusly, it is considered civil disobedience for them to protest. However, it would be considered profiling if law enforcement were to round up Hispanics in a protest, based on assumption of their legal status.

If there is a backlash, it probably will be against the demonstrators. Even before students began blocking the Los Angeles streets to protest legislation in Congress to toughen penalties for illegal immigrants and smugglers,\nMark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies told me over the telephone, \n"I hope they keep doing it(PROTESTING). It just makes it less and less likely the Senate's going to pass any amnesty.\n\nhttp://www.realclearpolitics.com/article...\n\nThis Nation Has 300 MILLION Citizens That Shop And Buy Gas And Use The Banks\n\nThe "BOYCOTT" Of About 7-10 Million People Will Have A MINIMAL Impact On Our Economy If It Has ANY WHATSOEVER\n\nThe Latino Community Can BOYCOTT ALL They Like\nIt Will PROVE To The People That The Economy Will NOT Fail Without Their"CONTRIBUTIONS"\n\nPUSH HR4437-NO AMNESTY\n\nDEPORT ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS UPON DISCOVERY

They wouldn't want to be accused of being used to 'chill' anyone's freedom of peaceful expression.  There were tons of legals at the march.  They had no more knowlegde from looking at the crowd who was and who was not an illegal immigrant than we did.  Realistically, they would have been barbequed if they had gone up to every person there and asked for ID to be in the country.  Besides, there is no law that says you have to carry ID when you protest, so what good would it do?  \n\nSome absences may have given them leads, or some businesses that closed may have confirmed suspicions, but they need some level of cause to accost someone.\n\nGood thing, too.  I'm against illegal immigration, but who wants to live somewhere where you can be detained just for doing what they did yesterday?

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.

ha ha  pancha 's  answer was funny a bit stricter my ass \n\nPursuant to Article 33, "Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country." This ban applies, among other things, to participation in demonstrations and the expression of opinions in public about domestic politics like those much in evidence in Los Angeles, New York and elsewhere in recent days.\n\n* Equal employment rights are denied to immigrants, even legal ones. Article 32: "Mexicans shall have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions, or commissions of the Government in which the status of citizenship is not indispensable."\n\n* Jobs for which Mexican citizenship is considered "indispensable" include, pursuant to Article 32, bans on foreigners, immigrants, and even naturalized citizens of Mexico serving as military officers, Mexican-flagged ship and airline crew, and chiefs of seaports and airports.\n\n* Article 55 denies immigrants the right to become federal lawmakers. A Mexican congressman or senator must be "a Mexican citizen by birth." Article 91 further stipulates that immigrants may never aspire to become cabinet officers as they are required to be Mexican by birth. Article 95 says the same about Supreme Court justices. In accordance with Article 130, immigrants - even legal ones - may not become members of the clergy, either.\n\n* Foreigners, to say nothing of illegal immigrants, are denied fundamental property rights. For example, Article 27 states, "Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters, and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters."\n\n* Article 11 guarantees federal protection against "undesirable aliens resident in the country." What is more, private individuals are authorized to make citizen's arrests. Article 16 states, "In cases of flagrante delicto, any person may arrest the offender and his accomplices, turning them over without delay to the nearest authorities." In other words, Mexico grants its citizens the right to arrest illegal aliens and hand them over to police for prosecution. Imagine the Minutemen exercising such a right!\n\n* The Mexican constitution states that foreigners - not just illegal immigrants - may be expelled for any reason and without due process. According to Article 33, "the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action."

They set up sit-ins in bus stations, especially in the dining areas there.  They rode around the south to protest in different areas.  They have helped to bring down the legal and illegal barriers that prohibited from all ethnicities to be able to live completely together.

None. They are illegal.

If you refuse to register, it will hurt you for future employment (you can not register after the age of 26) due to many employers requiring proof of registration. Immigrants that do not register while processing for citizenship will not be granted citizenship. You can be refused federal grants, loans (including student loans) and can also interfere with purchasing a home. It is a misdemeanor offense in most states, a felony in some.\n\nI don't know why anyone would worry about it. There is no draft, and probably won't be, unless the protesters stop people from enlisting.

In Muslim countries, illegal immigrants get sent to prison. Immigrants, however, get no citizenship or rights, and in most Middle East Muslim countries, cannot worship freely. It is a crime in Saudi Arabia for any worship except Islam.\n\nLuckily, there are no Jewish Mexicans (are there?), because they would not even be allowed into many Middle East Muslim countries.\n\nAlso, if they protested like the fools did and will do on 5/1, they would be arrested and deported, at best, and probably beaten, possibly killed. They aren't big on Western concepts like 'human rights'.\n\nImmigrant workers are permanent second class citizens, and can never be citizens.

the police were doing their job, acting on what was deemed reliable information recieved,  insomniac dosnt live in the england i know, loss of a weks liberty is nothing compared to the thousands held on remand in our prisons and a lot of the cases will not make it to trial (you can be held on remand for 110 days without trial) the protesters should have been removed and no court in the land should hear their claims of compensation or racisim.

I don't hate anyone, and not the illegals either.  I can honestly say that I never had a problem with them until they began to protest for rights for something that was against the law....This came across as crazy to me....If someone is breaking the law, they are breaking the law.  That's it.

Illegal immigrants will not stop by building a few fences.  The government needs a quick solution to stop the illegal entrance, but they cannot figure out any better idea.  If I am that immigrant, the fence won't be able to stop me, not even the great wall of China.

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.

Illegal immigrants are not Criminials. They have not committed crime. They simply entered the country without valid visa.or authority to cross the border. The entry can be legalized by authentication of their entry in the country. It is thus clear that they are not ciminals except that they have entered the country without valid permission.
