Teddy sees this EXACTLY like he saw the "Civil Rights Movement", i.e., a chance to get a minority group to vote for him, if he panders to them.
John Kerry did the same thing before the protests - he spoke at a LA High School about immigration about 1/2 hour before they were supposed to protest. John Kerry and Ted Kennedy are exploiting this and are going to lose the black votes for the Dems! I say let them!
