SEATTLE – An immigration rally that started outside the Federal Building in Seattle got physical after more than 100 demonstrators moved into a building that houses an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency office and court.
The group, including Seattle City Councilman Larry Gossett and El Centro de la Raza Executive Director Estela Ortega, locked arms during the noon hour Thursday and blocked the elevators. When some people tried to get through the human blockade, they were pushed away.
After that, the crowd moved back out to the street, where they sat in a circle at the corner of Second Avenue and Madison Street. The group says they have no plans to move and intend to be arrested.
Police have arrived and closed off the streets leading to the protest.
The crowd is chanting "Obama, you promised; you've got to keep your promise!" and carrying signs that say "Immigration Reform Now" and "America Show Your Morals."
The rally includes a coalition of groups organized by the OneAmerica organization. On its website it calls for pressure on the Obama administration to pass an immigration reform bill this year.

Instead of deporting illegals back to Mexico.
Why not send them to Seattle?
Or Los Angeles, Or Austin? Or DC?

Enforcing the law would be moral, they need to be asked for proof of citizenship and deported if they can’t provide it.

Just once, I’d like to see about fifty to a hundred of these vermin get the total ever loving crap beaten out of them, by an equal-sized force of righteous indignation. On teevee. Film at eleven!
