If 100,000 can make their presence known in the USA why can't they make themselves known in Mexico. They have to fight their own fight not steal from us.
They could at least have the courtesy to "chant" in ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, Gutierrez! If you're an immigrant, there's no problem. If you're ILLEGAL, there's a problem.
How simple must we be with these morons?!
(needs a barf alert)
What a nice convenient large-sounding number. How Clintonesque. [100,000 new cops; 10,000 women died per year pre-Roe]
ping...
Of course it's OK to a dim. After all, it was a march for socialism...
What rights would those be?..
Lawrence Auster, on FrontPage Magazine, (http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=21309) describes this invasion as follows:
"The Mexican invasion of the United States began decades ago as a spontaneous migration of ordinary Mexicans into the U.S. seeking economic opportunities. It has morphed into a campaign to occupy and gain power over our country—a project encouraged, abetted, and organized by the Mexican state and supported by the leading elements of Mexican society.
It is, in other words, war. War does not have to consist of armed conflict. War can consist of any hostile course of action undertaken by one country to weaken, harm, and dominate another country. Mexico is waging war on the U.S. through mass immigration illegal and legal, through the assertion of Mexican national claims over the U.S., and through the subversion of its laws and sovereignty, all having the common end of bringing the southwestern part of the U.S. under the control of the expanding Mexican nation, and of increasing Mexico’s political and cultural influence over the U.S. as a whole"
When will the real PATRIOTS get the message and FIGHT BACK against this invasion???
I wonder if we could ever get 100,000 Americans together to "march" in favor of our immigration laws. I can see why Gutierrez is pimping illegal immigration. It means more votes for him. He's nothing but a two bit, DemocRAT race-baiter in a cheap suit.
I just re-read the Constitution. There is no mention of "immigrants' rights."
Enough said.

As CBS 2 Chief Correspondent Jay Levine reports, the protesters -- of Polish, Irish, Latino, Chinese and many other nationalities -- gathered at Union Park, at Ashland Avenue and Lake Street, and marched to the Loop. From the air, it appeared to be an endless sea of demonstrators, flooding the streets to protest the recently-passed house bill, which would make it a crime to hire or even help undocumented immigrants.
At the end of the day, organizers say it was more than half a million protesters. Police estimated the crowd at 300,000.
“I'm definitely surprised to see this many people,” said protester Cesar Garza. “I expected a small amount of crowd, but this is… wow! I'm really surprised.”
Many of the protesters were immigrants who took the day off work to attend the rally.
“This is a ridiculous bill,” said Polish immigrant Paulina Cdnok. “I don't understand how it got as far as it did, and they're trying to make this a law -- and then at this point it's a police state.”
Other immigrants said their most important goal was to be part of the United States.
“It’s important that they know that we make great contributions to this country,” Chicago resident Maricela Herrera said. “We’re not here to take any jobs or anything, we’re here to be able to give our contributions that make the United States what it is.”
Mexican immigrant Esperanza Martinez said, “We got a family to support. We got a job. We pay taxes. We want to be part of this country.”
Mexican immigrant David Martinez said, “I want to live here with my family.”
The march ended at the Federal Plaza, at Adams and Dearborn streets, where state and local leaders promised to fight for immigrant rights.
“Whether their names are Gutierrez or Lozano, Lipinski or Blagojevich; it doesn't matter,” said Gov. Rod Blagojevich. “This is a country build by immigrants.”
Mayor Richard M. Daley said: “This is a fight that includes every American. Those who are here undocumented, we're not going to make criminals out of them. That is not what America has ever stood for and will not stand for.”
U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez told the crowd that immigrants are here to stay, and pledged to work to block the bill.
The United States flag and banners from Mexico, Honduras, and many others flew over the crowd of thousands at Federal Plaza.
The only opposition to the march came from a group called the Illinois Minutemen Project. Rosanna Pulido of that organization said she believed protecting illegal aliens would violate the law.
“They are asking that our laws be totally violated to protect illegal aliens, people who break the law and come into this country,” Pulido said.
Earlier in the march, Pulido said, “I don’t care if there’s three million people out there, if they are illegal they do not have a voice in America.”
The protest was a nightmare for motorists in and around the loop, but police were ready, and there were no arrests or problems.
“We had total cooperation from the organizers and volunteers,” said Chicago Police Deputy Supt. Charles Williams, “and that’s what made for a good orderly march.”
The new immigration bill is not a done deal. The U.S. Senate appears likely to pass much more moderate legislation, without the criminal sanctions and with a path to citizenship for those here illegally.
Still, the house version has struck a nerve in multi-cultural Chicago. Many think that could trigger other protests as the legislation is debated in Washington, D.C.
Great...group shot...now smile for the camera ;o)
*poof*
This demonstration is an excellent argument for starting deportation now and punishing anyone who aids illegal aliens (all of whom are criminals, showing their contempt for our laws when it benefits them). Since when does this country belong to foreigner nationals and illegal aliens at that?
There. That's much better. And more accurate.
Yesterday's heated thread:
