The rallies in Dallas, TX have been nonstop, with school board trustees essentially telling kids to walk out for a week. THen you watch them play in the water fountain and walk counter to traffic - TO MAKE US SYMPATHETIC!
1. They are acting stupid. Which makes me wonder where the education dollars are going.
2. If there are this many students with illegal parents, this shows why our schools are overcrowded.

We don't have to break up families when we deport them. Send the parents AND AMERICAN BORN CHILDREN to the homeland. THe kids can come back when they're 18, and maybe have learned something other than marching in the street.

I believe that the American citizens are in shock that our government has allowed our country to be over run by these law breakers. Call them felons or what ever. Our government has failed us at a time when our manufacturing jobs have been sent to China, when our technical jobs are being sent to India, we have so few Jobs, and Americans have no where else to go. No other nation will allow us to flood them and take their jobs. No other country has such fools running it. God help us all!

A critic on TV observed that if citizens don't wake up now reality will set in fully in about 20 years. The southwest will for a practical purposes be an annex of Mexico. Then, the next step, with the power they will yield will be for SEPARIST demands. Remember QUEBEC?

As added emphasis to his point, Krauthammer yesterday said the recent demonstrations is the movements 'COMING OUT PARTY' and the implications of power simmering below the surface.

With commie groups behind some of these protests should be warning enough in itself!

You just haven't lived until you have to clean up your yard after 500 of them decided in the middle of the night to use it as a toilet...

Imagine having to do this every day...plus take care of your own farm or go to work daily...

Of course if your place of work hires them and fires you then you will have some free time to clean up after them...until one of them wins your farm in court because he or she fell down in some other illegal alien's scat you neglected to clean up...

People I know, even those who are normally apolitical, are apoplectic at the thought of an amnesty. I don't know anyone who thinks amnesty and open borders are good ideas. I'm also noticing a lot more American flags flying in my neighborhood and on cars.

"I was a fence-sitter for illegal immigration for a long time. After seeing these "demonstrations" I want the border closed, NOW. "

Fence sitter to fence builder....I hope there are millions more like you!

"Now all these protesting clowns have to do is stage another rally and wave American flags. All will be forgiven."

Done - it's scheduled for May 19.
