From what I can tell most of the marchers could be arrested for illegally being in the country.
Where was the ICE folks.

Where oh where is ICE and the Nat'l Guard?
I also think that we should put a stop to the $15b in remittances to Mexico. All that does is get us more poor Mexicans.
Bush's fault, literally. His second-term is circling the drain over this issue.
The illegal aliens and the criminals who hire them and the criminals who harbor them are getting out in the street making their desires known. It is way past time those of us who support the rule of law and secure borders did the same.
Join Veterans for Secure Borders, The Minuteman Project, Latino Americans for Immigration Reform, Mothers Against Illegal Aliens, and other groups protesting amnesty for these criminals, and demanding the government protect our borders.

FReepers should be at this rally in strength. Saturday, May 6, in Crawford, TX.
We are not a nation of immigrants. We are first and foremost a nation of laws. The U.S. Constitution does not say that the paramount duty of government is to “Celebrate Diversity” or to “embrace multiculturalism” or to give “every willing worker” in the world a job. The Premable to the U.S. Constitution says the Constitution was established “to provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty.”
12 Million illegal aliens = 1/25 of the current US population. It's no wonder the Welfare, the Medical, and other support systems are bankrupt.
Those New Orleans buses could have come in handy today.
They immigrated here too.
That's for sure, but they are not as great of an enemy as those who walk through the halls of Congress. It's their greed and lust for power that makes them so dangerous. We need to clean house, from the top to the bottom. and I don't want to wait until the election. LOL
The real reason there is a so-called labor shortage in the U.S. is because of abortion. Even the GOP won't touch this one.
I walked through the square in front of the City Hall of Dallas today while the pro-illegal protesters were there. What a nice group of people. Really. Being a middle-aged pretty obviously conservative white guy got me a few smiles and "Hello"s.
Mainly, the types of people who cross the border illegally are the sort we should be attracting to this country legally. I really dislike the "Illegal" part. They shouldn't do that. But I think there is an excellent demographic here that if we provided a safe and sane border policy, we'd be happy to have many of these people.
Unguarded borders are a National Security Risk. Illegality of immigration imposes many other criminal elements into society that are unhelpful. Some programatically controlled immigration plan would be a big improvement over what we have today. I don't have a silver bullet for what that is.
But let's be careful to segregate the many difficulties cited above from the vast majority of the illegal immigrant population. I feel much better and safer walking through a group of illegals and their families having a very nice protest march than I would with a bunch of leftists. The leftists would happily physically attack me. These folks are the salt of the earth, and I'd trust them with my life.
Before y'all flame me, let me note that I believe the only effective border control will be a double row of fences, land mines and .50 cal machine gun nests every .5 miles. If America is prepared to do that (which I doubt), we can actually control the border. Short of that, the economic incentives to come here are too great. Nothing will stop them short of death. I'll support the landmines, but I doubt we can get more than 20% of Americans to agree to mow down border crossers. So I think we're stuck with something else, to be designed. So until then, let's recognize what I saw today. Most of these folks are really nice people!
wait... is that Bush and Fox there in the middle? Marching hand in hand
They aren't sneaking around now. This is insanity on a national level.
I know I will get flamed for saying this, but Bush is a horrible President. His legacy will be an awful one, and his presidency will be remembered as a failure. Now, that being said, I realize that he gets blamed for alot of things that are not his fault, and he is fighting an uphill battle against the media everyday. I understand that. However, this issue in particular is one that he can control. He has the power to do so. Instead of doing what the vast majority of American citizens want done, however, he is selling out to business interests, something I thought the Republican Party had put behind them. Apparently they have not. If he truly does support an amnesty plan, then he should have the guts to come out and say so, rather than giving us all this double speak.
I don't care what Bush, the GOP leadership, or the Chamber of Commerce thinks. Any plan in the style of McCain/Kennedy is amnesty, plain and simple. If the platform of this President, and this party, is to to cater to business interests even when they conflict with the will of the people, then everybody needs to rethink their party loyalty and/or affiliation.
Good 'ol Fox New Channel...the LEAD stories are the murder in Tennessee and the murders in Seattle. Get your priorities straight, you idiots. To the nation as a whole; these murders are irrrelevant. The situation in the Southwest threatens us ALL, along with YOUR children and grandchildren.
DON'T YOU BIGOTS GET IT?? (Illegals are only doing the protesting Americans won't do)
