According to FOX, thousands of them came from south and central America for the protests. I would love to know who paid to bring them here.

I would give them 5 days.

Really? Including hard working, tax paying, family rearing, English speaking, overwhelmingly YOUNGER people? You're just itching to drive millions of such out of the country, just a few years before nearly two thirds of the adult population in this country will begin retiring and becoming net consumers of taxes (and entering their lowest consumption phase of consumer goods)?

You really think this is wise policy? I'd be asking, "how do we get more, and make them legal?"

Percentage of protesters who would ever vote for Senator Kyl no matter what he did: 0.001%

I don't think that the segment of the illegal immigration community that would fit into the category described above would approach millions, as you say.

And in no way would I ever "want more" immigrants who care so little for American law, not to mention our culture.

This is a joke. In five years, they will have "legit" ID.

"We want residency," said Cruz, 48, who was born in Nicaragua and lived in El Salvador before arriving in the United States in 1985.

Cruz has been able to work on renewable visas under the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act but says he wants a chance to become a legal permanent resident.

He's been here 21 years and hasn't become a citizen? Amazing arrogance!

BTW, just in case there is any confusion, the photos posted on the thread so far are from the protests in LA (I think all are from yesterday?). Same reason, different city. There was a photo for this particular article, but it had disappeared the last time I checked.

That's a good question. I can't get over the level of organization it must have taken.

I'm thinking that a lot of corporate money went into this "investment". This is also the sort of thing George Soros does.

"how do we get more, and make them legal?"

You start by being fair to the people who apply to come here legally. The bar for legal immigration isn't all that high, though it is time consuming. The basics:

  1. Show a clean police record.
  2. Sufficiency for self-support and support of your family, either with savings, an educational background demonstrating an ability to earn a living and stay off the public dole or a combination thereof.
  3. A basic respect for American law and customs.
  4. No ties to terrorists, nazis or others who seek to overthow the government through violent or illegal means.
  5. Free of communicable diseases.
  6. A basic command or at least a demonstrated willingness to learn our language.

Given that there are far more people who want to immigrate to American than we can reasonably accomodate, a sane immigration policy picks the most worthy applicants. An insane policy favors those who have already broken the law.

A sane policy decides how many immigrants we need and which are likely to make the best citizens and then selects from the applicant pool accordingly. An insane policy favors those of a certain ethnicity who are politically the best-connected.

The Kyl-Coryn bill is not perfect, but is probably the best thing which is politically possible to pass. I'm willing to give it five years and tie the number of legal visas granted inversely proportional to the number of illegals who leave the country, voluntarily or otherwise.

And, by the way, I have no problem at all with a Mexican construction worker applying for legal residency and citizenship so long as it is done on a fair and equal basis as, say, a construction worker from Poland.

"They deserve some way to come into this country and work without the fear of being sent back in four of five years," said Bill Kinkead, 73, who is a member of Humane Borders.

There is a way - it's called legal immigration

Oh My Gosh, BG! I think I'm gonna throw up. LOL I saw this on Fox News and I could hardly believe my eyes. Can you believe the nerve of those CRIMINALS? THIS is exactly how they are going to do every time they want their own way. This is how they will change the political face of America. It's no wonder that Mexico is so corrupt. They have TOTAL disregard for the law! America is in for some horrific race riots in the not to distant future.

I hope these pictures scare the he!! out of everyone enough for them to quit supporting politicians who pander to these people. Just the mass numbers of them alone and their arrogance to think they can sway our laws should make every legal citizen furious.

Soros would make sense. Anything to cause descent.

It already is insane. I live in Kansas. At Lowe's the other day, every announcement they made over the intercom was then repeated in Spanish. I almost puked. It is everywhere

Same where we live too.


I was hoping to get away from this crap when we leave CA. Looks like they've invaded everywhere.

SOMEONE is organizing all those folks. Certainly a portion of them--perhaps a sizeable portion--are illegals in those marches. If they organize them, they know where to find them. Time for the DHS to infiltrate some of these orgs.
