Walkers... Zombies... Same difference.

Five undocumented immigrants received a standing ovation on the floor of the Assembly today for their campaign to prod changes in federal immigration law.
The immigrants are walking from San Francisco to Washington D.C. to lobby for passage of the federal Dream Act, which would provide a pathway to citizenship for many longtime residents who immigrated illegally as children and later graduated from U.S. high schools.
No lawmakers protested recognition of the undocumented immigrants on the floor of the Assembly. Almost all Democrats stood to applaud, but many Republicans stayed in their seats.
"These are young people exemplifying true leadership and commitment to civic engagement," said Assemblyman Ricardo Lara, a Bell Gardens Democrat who chairs the Latino Legislative Caucus, in introducing participants in the nearly 3,000-mile cross country walk.
The five undocumented walkers are Alex Aldana of Southern California, Lucas Da Silva of Orlando, Fla., Jose Gonzalez of San Diego, Nicolas Gonzalez of Chicago and Jonatan Martinez of Georgia. They are joined by a sixth-walker, Raymi Gutierrez, a U.S.-born citizen from an immigrant family.

So let me get this straight.......illegals are applauded for standing before the Assembly asking to have OUR LAWS changed??
We do live in a sick and dying country!!!
They should have been arrested and deported immediately.
It appears that foreign nationals are starting to get serious about demanding freebies from the U.S. taxpayers. It’s weird how the buffoons that the moronic voters elected stood and cheered the greedy invaders on. Geeesh.
I want to walk to Mexico and demand I get freebies...
Giving a standing ovation to these law-flaunters is a contemptuous spitting in the face of legal immigrants and citizens.
It’s nothing short of high treason.
No lawmakers protested recognition of the undocumented immigrants
And we wonder why this country is going to hell in a hand basket.
Oh those poor poor illegals, how dare we have immigration laws. Evil evil immigration laws! Serial killers, rapists, terrorists, and other slime with mile long criminal records would be turned away if we forced these people to follow immigration laws and that’s NOT FAIR! Oh boo hoo hoo!
Why don't they do that in their own country? From what I've seen, Central and South America sure could use some "true leadership and commitment to civic engagement" down there. We've already got enough of that here in this country.
and “walked” to the nearest border crossing.
Walkers... Zombies... Same difference.
How politically correct and multiculti , an African-Amnerican Zombie! WAIT, what abut an Asian-American? Or is one of the crackers an Israeli, i.e. from the Asia continent?
Someone should tell these idiots that citizenship is overrated.
1. 5 "undocumented"/illegal aliens can openly and brazenly walk from California to Washington, D.C.---across the middle of the country over 2000 miles---and nobody in the federal immigration agency dares to arrest them?
2. Am I missing something here?
3. At the very least, shouldn't law enforcement authorities arrest them before they even leave California, because they have already admitted that they are "undocumented"/illegal aliens?
4. It seems to me that the new illegal immigration strategy is this: If we come out openly and admit to the point of bragging that we are "undocumented" (I never could understand the difference between the terms "undocumented" and "illegal alien"), then we can stay here as long as we want, because nobody will dare to bother or arrest us anymore because of the ugly publicity such arrests may bring to the federal government.
5. Again, what am I missing here when 5 undocumented persons can walk 2000 miles across the country without being arrested at the beginning of their 2000 mile walk?
6. Why just 5? Maybe next time it will be 50, and then hundreds, and then thousands of "undocumented"/illegal aliens walking 2000 miles across the middle of the United States in protest against our immigration laws and nobody dares to arrest them.
7. I don't know about others here, but something is wrong with this picture, and the picture is an insult to every law-abiding American.
8. On second thought, I would like to see thousands of illegal aliens walking the 2000 miles across this great country without being arrested, because it will show American citizens and voters how out of control President Obama's immigration policy is.
9. Such a 2000 mile march will also awaken Americans across the country to how brazenly illegal aliens have become: They now seem to feel that they can parade and openly insult American citizens without fear that somebody will arrest them.
Maybe they’ll walk through Maricopa County in Arizona
********
I guess the next scene we will be seeing with be this: Assembly members standing on the U.S./Mexican border applauding and cheering as illegal aliens sneak across the border while crawling over and under border fences in the middle of the night.
I suspect they’re not walking the entire distance. Just another liberal fraud.
If they meet 5 legal citizens walking the other way, who has the right of way?
