AP) LOS ANGELES The marches against proposed immigration legislation are spreading in Los Angeles.
Some 1,500 L.A. students who have walked out of class are gathered outside Los Angeles City Hall.
L.A. school district officials said some 1,000 students from Los Angeles High School on the 4600 block of Olympic Avenue have walked out and are reportedly heading toward Hollywood High School on the 1500 block of North Highland Avenue.
Hundreds of students have already left Huntington Park High School, some scaling fences that school officials locked to avoid a walkout.
L.A. school district spokeswoman Monica Carazo said students have walked out from at least eight schools ranging from the San Fernando Valley to the wealthy coastal enclave of Pacific Palisades.
Carazo said teachers and administrators are accompanying the students to look after their safety.
The L.A. Police Department said the force is on tactical alert as a precaution because of the protests. But no arrests or major confrontations have been reported.
"Not in Cuba."
You have that one right.
Bypassed fences to get in the country, bypassed fences to protest the enforcement of the laws the fences represented ---- Criminal...
There should be NO option other that deportation for ANYONE in the country illegally....
They must first LEAVE, apply for legal admission, no criminal record, pass a heath exam, speak English, PROVE they will be self supporting with a designated and legally responsible SPONSER and be refused all taxpayer funded WELFARE or SOCIAL benefits...
Anything else is a mockery of our laws....and an unbearable weight on the backs of taxpayers, who have seen the benefits of citizenship decline by the flood of illegals soaking up services and taxes..
I have NO rights to Welfare, free health care, English based interface or other benefits our uninvited and illegal immigrants have come to DEMAND -- when I LEGALLY visit Europe...
Semper Fi
You know that Mexico and Cuba are VERY CLOSE allies, right? They have never broken ties.
Oh, but why not?? They have the socialist teacher's unions to protect them.
And you won't hear this point brought up on the 10 o'clock news either.
Nice to see you around ... :)
Thanks, DD. It appears HiJinx is not online yet today.
It's okay, I used my own ping list.

Thank, Trav.

Walkouts all over L.A. County.
And they jumped over a fence to get out of the school to take over the streets!
They're good at that stuff!
We don't need 'em.
Either we're a nation of laws or not.
Mr. President and Congress, are you throwing away our Constitution?
Assuming you're watching C-Span like me, did you hear Kennedy say Kyl is from Kentucky? Or, did I misunderstand? I just tuned in and missed Cornyn, but it sounded like Kyl was just about by himself.
Si! Que es el constitution?
No....Kyl isn't by himself...he has Cornyn and Sessions on his side..and I think, Sen. Grassley...but that is it..
Hatch has "passed by proxy" on all votes...so we don't know what side he would be on.
IOW..Kennedy, who doesn't even know what state the other Senators are from...should be disqualified. LOL
He doesn't even say yes or no ...he just grunts into the microphone...what a disgusting human being.
BTW..Specter just slapped down a Sessions amendment...
I bet it's a nice day in L.A and a lot of the kids just wanted to get outside.
I was just wrong..on VOICE vote...Specter said Session's amendment was defeated.
Sessions asked for a roll call vote..and it PASSED..what a jerk Specter is.
You're so on top of this... What is Sessions's amendment?
Thank you for the updates!! I keep running out and missing the action. I hate Kennedy and Specter the most. Kenn looks all sloppy drunk, as per usual. Specter just looks evil, imo.
Agree.
Curious? Do you think Specter had plastic surgery? Something is different about him.
Students still ill-informed and wanting a day off.
Artesia High School's thugs left school early and are screwing up traffic. My neighbor has been screaming "Viva Mexico" for the past 2 days. I asked why she doesn't just move there then. She proceeded to call me a racist.
Haha! Maybe that's why he looks different to me too. I know Barb Boxer gets Botox, so maybe he joined the club. I think Pelosi gets Botox too.
I still can't believe Drunken One doesn't know where the others are from.
