Just love the way the media makes this out as if it were some type of holiday event or something. Everyone has to work around this crap. If Americans demonstrated this way would the city act like it was practically sponsoring it?

Fearing traffic jams and concerned about their personal safety

Now that the Senate has tabled the immigration issue, for now anyway, what do you want to bet that every march and demonstration around the country is going to be laced with violence? I figure they*re going to try to scare the spineless wimps in our government. They figure they can make them cave in and give them what they want. Btw, thanks for the ping! :o)

Where is the FBI on this? They are charged with internal U.S. security when threatened by an external aggressor. They were all over the place during the 60's race riots,

I haven't heard or read anythng about them at all. If any rioting were to take place here in L.A., I expect the police to cut and run like they did when the Rodney King riots broke out.

What would J. Edgar Hoover have done?

Put on his best dress?

"We need a civilian militia."

Yes we do. I've been writing letters to the editor on that very subject, and leaving copies off at the county sheriff's office and local police departments.

I've approached elected officials about supporting a home based local militia. The governor and all the Republican state legislators have copies of my letters either in their files or they have put them into their circular files a long time ago.

Our political betters think I'm crazy.

I tell them that they, individually and collectively, are crazy if they think a home grown local militia doesn't form to protect the law abiding amongst us.

I realized long ago that the left and all their support is not interested in listening to the conservative plea. Their intransigent anger is shutting down dialogue. No dialogue means no communication until people start to "talk to the other side by hand."

The immigration question is more polarizing than the War On Terror where I live.

We're going to smell powder in our streets before long.

"Rep. Pam Gorman, R-Anthem,... "At what point do we consider an invasion is going on when government is shut down due to foreign marching on our soil?" she asked. "

These "protestors" have found out that they can do whatever they want and NO ONE will stop them. I wonder what their next step will be?

PHOENIX — Fearing traffic jams and concerned about their personal safety, legislative leaders have decided to shut down their Monday session early to let legislators and staff flee the Capitol before 100,000 marchers show up.

This is cowardice in it's purest form. I think this is the first time in U.S. history a state government fleed from a planned protest of unarmed forgein invaders.

[Borax Queen]

Ping.

I would've loved to have been able to read some of the dossiers Hoover compiled over the years.

The "dress" business was nonsense cooked up by the Dems, and the Larry Flynts of the left, to trash the history books and deconstruct the Nixon presidency.

After having heard the rumor I never did check to see whether it was fact or fiction.

Hoover's track record would still be an improvement over that of the current director, Robert Mueller.

I don't know that much about Hoover's career except that he was there when I was a kid and by the time he died I had been an adult for a few years.

[redgolum]

Bad move.

It will only encourage the revolutionaries.

Did you catch the CNN interview of the 25-year-old UT-educated female who said she cannot find a job now that she has earned a nursing degree? The interviewer asked whether the nurse would return to Mexico and find work there. Instead of thanking the taxpayers for her education, she said she hadn't been her country since she was 11 years old and needed to stay here with her friends and family.

OMG, she earned a degree in Nursing and the US is suffering a nursing shortage and you want her to go back to Mexico.

BTW, I guess you would rather her be a crack whore or even worse she could be going to law school.

"At what point do we consider an invasion is going on when government is shut down due to foreign marching on our soil?" she asked. "

Ask the FROBL's, they can tell you anything.

[exhaustedmomma]

the march amounts to 100,000 people "admitting that they're here illegally … bragging that they're breaking the laws of this country."

They (the invaders & their supporters) need to get their story straight. Because they also say this:
"They want to be citizens of our state, of our country. They want to contribute legally." (*Then... go to the end of the line, on the other side of the border, and wait your turn.)

[Lucky9teen]

Exactly!!

[Lucky9teen]

100,000 people

85° or hotter

what will these people do when they get thirsty?

what will these people do when they have to use the restroom?

Will there be riot police?

I heard on the news that the city if forking the bill to provide security for this bruhaha, but I wonder about what else they are providing?

[freema]

That, perhaps, should be hammered out in bronze and mounted on the state capitol?

[freema]

I can't imagine permits to assemble peacefully were issued for this many people.
