PHILADELPHIA - John Ryan stood in the middle of a Center City sidewalk, making the best of Saturday's oppressive humidity.
A green cap decorated with the words "U.S. Border Patrol," shaded his brow as he and members of Pennsylvanians Against Illegal Immigration and the local chapter of the Minutemen prepared for a peaceful protest.
The two separate groups believe that the U.S. government is not doing enough to prevent illegal immigration. The groups say illegal immigration costs Americans money and jobs.
Armed with American flags and homemade signs, about a dozen protesters stood in front of a hip-hop clothing store on Market Street to draw attention to their cause.
Some passers-by stopped to offer support for ending illegal immigration while others turned their heads in disgust.

Anti-Americanism (read that anti-U.S.) sure plays well these days. Picture me disgusted to the max with those who tollerate it, or think it's cute.
"We want people to know that our government is working against the citizens of the United States by supporting illegal immigration," said Ryan, who founded the Pennsylvania Minutemen.

And he is absolutely correct. Maybe he should be President!! (/sarcasm)
They seem to want to fight. Not surprising. That sock of loose change seems like a good thing to take along. A simple roll of quarters will enhance ones stopping power as well.
I'm ONLY suggesting the above for defensive purposes. It seems LEOs won't protect those on the pro-borders side.
Let me know how serving two masters goes.
Thanks for the response, but it only cofirmed what I already knew. Your powers of discernment are nill.
Every illegal alien living in the U.S. should voluntarily return to their home country or be deported.
When they get home they can apply for citizenship. If they come here legally I'll welcome them with open arms. They're better off if the come here legally anyway.
Could you say that again?
Ding...Ding...Ding...we have a winner. LOL!!
Are you trying to shame me? Won't work. The Catholic church is squarely on the side of the invaders. I'm not.
And allowing a bunch of thugs to kick my @ss for peacefully demonstrating is not something I'm required to do for my religion. This is about defending ourselves, defending our children, defending our neighbors, and defending our country.
No, I won't turn the other cheek.
I would agree with that. Further, I would also place a moratorium on ALL immigration to the United States until ALL racial groups like the Black Caucus, NAACP, MALDEF, MECHLA, LA RAZA have ceased their operations.
It's not allowable for whites to form such groups, it shouldn't be alright for other races to do it.
When we've assimilated what we have, we can 'think' about letting more in, in reasonable numbers this time.
You know, an iron curtain is preferable to more troops or UAVs. We need to keep them OUT, and I'm confident American ingenuity can do it. I don't want to have to arrest every illegal that jumps the border with all the costs involved.
Build it. 2000 miles. DeGaulle said to plant trees for shade for his troops (not for German troops, as the joke goes). His aide said "Mais, Mon General, they will take 20 years to grow" DeGaulle replied "That is why we must plant them immediately!"
It was safer for the illegals when the Minutemen were there. All these "pro-illegal" groups sure aren't out there saving the poor souls dying in the desert.
What are you supposed to think of a person who chooses the Muslim word that justifies their terrorism, and the word that represents what makes the U.S. what it is, as his pseudonym?
This person is essentially declaring a 'holy war on our culture', yet thinks they belong on this forum.
Then they seek to instill enlightenment in us.
