They're baaack. Illegal alien public relations experts are advising their followers to put aside the Mexican flags and tone down their radicalism, but many reconquistadors and their friends can't help themselves. Hat tip to John A. for the protest photos today from Dallas:
Black Panthers came out to show solidarity with the open borders lobby...
And the Che cultists were out in full force again, too...
There's no photo, but the Dallas Morning News described this:
Although the stars and stripes predominated, some people opted to paint themselves in red, white and green, the colors of the Mexican flag. A girl no older than 6 had her shirt painted: “Hell, no, we won’t go. Mexicans stick together.”

Similar sentiments at the anti-immigration enforcement rally in St. Paul, Minn.:
The Dallas Morning News also reported that counter-protesters were assaulted and forced to leave under police protection:
Police told counterprotesters that they could protect them only to a point, and offered to escort them out through an underground parking lot. Six people left with police who were carrying shields and wearing helmets and shin pads.
“They’re obviously outnumbered here. If they choose to leave, we can arrange that,” said Dallas police Lt. William Humphrey.
Miles Walters, 16, a sophomore at Richardson High School, said he was scared when people started throwing water bottles and hunkered under a building for protection. “I wasn’t expecting it to be this bad,” he said. “Because we take pride in our country they hate us and call us racist.”
More:
A small group of counterprotesters shouted from a parking lot at Ross Avenue and Harwood Street: “USA, USA, You’re gonna go home, you’re gonna go home.”
Said Elijah McGrew, 48: “They are breaking the law and no one should get amnesty. If I break the law, I don’t get amnesty.”
Also in the group was Ben Blewusi, who said he came to the U.S. legally from Ghana in 2004.
“Illegal immigration is a crime in every country. I believe they are a drain on the economy and don’t pay taxes, and employers take advantage of them and enslave their labor. And as a result it drives down wages for legal migrants and U.S. citizens,” Mr. Blewusi said.
Near City Hall, more than 100 chanting protesters broke off from the main march and headed toward another group of counterprotesters. Police moved in around the counterprotesters, some of whom had hurled plastic water bottles at the large procession.
If you are holding a counter-protest, send your photos and I'll post them.
Tony J. attended a pro-immigration enforcement rally along with a few hundred in Denver on Friday:
I'll be covering the illegal alien demonstration tomorrow in Washington, D.C. Power Line is soliciting video from citizen journalists across the country.
Meanwhile, keep an eye on what government school officials are doing in your neighborhood.
In Tuscon:
The superintendent of the Tucson Unified School District is under fire for sending school buses to pick up student following an immigration reform protest.
But Superintendent Roger Pfeuffer defended his decision, saying police asked for the buses because a crowd of students in front of the Federal Building in Tucson was growing, water supplies were low and the temperatures were rising.
Rep. Jonathan Paton, R-Tucson, criticized Pfeuffer in a letter, asking for an explanation of the busing issue.
Paton also wanted to know about a student assembly at Tucson High Magnet School in which Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers, said, "Republicans hate Latinos."
Paton said he wanted to find out if the assembly was mandatory, and he criticized district officials for allowing "political propaganda."
Pfeuffer said the assembly was not connected with recent walkouts by students protesting for immigration reform and said Huerta's appearance was part of a series of events commemorating Cesar Chavez Day held each year.
Yesterday, I noted my home county's decision to give school credit to students who attend the April 10 illegal alien event in D.C. Here's contact info for the Montgomery County Board of Education:

Also watch your city officials. Some people are acting as if sanctuary extremists like the politicians in San Francisco are something new:
Mayor Gavin Newsom said Thursday that The City will not comply with any federal legislation that criminalizes efforts to help illegal immigrants.
The mayor also denounced a bipartisan congressional proposal that would beef up border security and allow as many as 12 million illegal immigrants to gain legal status.
Newsom, who has not been afraid to wade into controversial national issues such as gay marriage, appeared with a group of elected officials on the steps of City Hall to support immigrants, “documented as well as undocumented.”Newsom also signed a resolution sponsored by Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval, and passed unanimously by the Board of Supervisors, urging San Francisco law enforcement not to comply with criminal provisions of any new immigration bill.
Nothing new about it at all:

I was actually looking for the episode were he mentions the European body from 6000 years ago found in Washington, but for some reason I'm not finding it...
When was this?
It would be interesting to compare the numbers here then and here now.
He's a physcician, who got his first license in Mexico and made his money working here as an American citizen. He's been kicked out of four hospitals. He built his house with illegal relatives. The guy fancies himself lord of the realm.
You happen to know his/her stand on this, or is it obvious?
Beyond obvious. His property sports numerous code violations, but this is Santa Cruz and he's Mexican, so he gets away with anything.
I think it was 1917. The movie, "The Wild Bunch" portrays all the Germans in Northern Mexico at the time.
(Is it really necessary? Well, you never know. Someone is bound to take it verbatim. So...)
/Sarcasm
Cultural relativism rears its ugly head - their bringing Mexican standards with them, and the liberal social city worker figures 'let them have their culture', in so many words.
At least, this is what it sounds like to me.
Use these large protests to round up illegals and deport their racist butts out of here.
I wonder if ICE and border agents are required to take cultural sensitivity classes as a condition of employment?
There is nothing that great about that kind of diversity.
If we have a diversity of skilled workers coming over legally, that would be fine.
The diversity here means just different, lacking skills, language or anything we can make use of.
So ride them out of town every way you can.
" We (Mexico) do not have enough Mexicans in the border states to conquer the Americans, yet."
I wish we could ask Vincent Fox point blank to comment on this, and give his current assessment - from the horses mouth.
I have always been in love with that picture.
"This is going to end in a bloody civil war, with cities on fire.
I hope the illegal alien slave-traitors choke on their profits.
And I hope we keep a record of these traitors, for future punishment."
Reasonable people agree with you, as it appears we've been had.
And the idea that there's no 'right or wrong', that everyone is right, that no culture is better than any other culture sure doesn't help.
People (Liberal university professors) with these notions should go to Cuba or some other sh1thole third world country and say 'this system is just as good, better even, than the evil American dictatorial system'.
And hopefully stay there, never to return - good riddance and goodbye, I'd say.
I wish I could post this animated version on the bulletin at my (very liberal) university!
I just don't get it. The fines (up to $10 thou and/or imprisonment) have been law for 20 years now regarding employers who hire illegals. I was doing human resources then and we had to jump through hoops to comply. WTH happened? A few weeks ago, I got flamed for stating that the law of demand and supply applies here and instead of trying to imagine deporting millions - enforce the laws with the employers. Sure we may suffer a while with the loss of cheap labor but we will come full circle eventually.
Yep........sized up, set up & sold out.
Only a Republican could get away with it, again.
On a brighter note I finally have something to agree with my Bush-hating friends on.
