Chicago police say as many as 100,000 protestors are gathering outside the Chicago Federal Center to voice their concerns about a house bill that would tighten immigration laws. The massive demonstration has blocked many streets in the Loop.

The border security bill would make it illegal to assist any undocumented immigrant. That measure is drawing the attention of numerous groups and lawmakers on both sides of the issue.

Thousands of demonstrators gathered at the Chicago Federal Center to protest the house bill 4437. They believe the bill discriminates against undocumented residents and those who try to help them and it robs them of a chance at the American dream.

If we are not all real careful this will become the United States of Mexico. That is exactly what many illegal groups want.

That same song was going thru my mind as I read this thread.

What an opportunity today in Chicago to round 'em up, move 'em out!

Since Chicago is already hopelessly lost....who care if they vote or not. I am saying that most mexican immigrants (legal & illegal( don't vote. Survey after survey prooves that point...the hispanic vote that everyone is falling over themselves to get doesn't exist.

Our politicians love the illegals, and hate the nation's citizens. These illegal people can protest in our streets and what do our politicians do? I will not be surprised if there are soon laws enacted by our politicians demanding more protections for the illegal's illegal activities.

Politicians racing to line up to board planes to Chicago to garner the votes and appease their feelings as we speak. [pun intended]. They all "feel their pain."
