They invoke the names of Martin Luther King Jr. and Cesar Chavez, but the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have marched nationwide are not following one charismatic leader.
Instead, they're loosely guided by Hispanic advocacy groups, churches and labor unions - organizations that have helped transform isolated campaigns in major cities into a broad movement with a coordinated strategy.
"There is no one leader, and that's a good thing," said Nativo Lopez, president of the Mexican-American Political Association, a central organizer of rallies in Southern California. "It's a shared leadership among people who we don't even always know."
What began with a national organizational meeting just two months ago has resulted in unions blanketing workers with fliers at hotels, restaurants and stores, Roman Catholic churches accelerating their campaign of preaching to immigrants and pressuring politicians, and Hispanic community leaders working with radio deejays to give protesters detailed instructions: wear white, remain peaceful and be positive. And when marchers were criticized for carrying Mexican flags, organizers quickly spread the word to carry U.S. flags instead.

ALERT!
The illegal invaders are threatening to shut down our ports, the marxist and communist groups on May 1 are threatening PORT SECURITY!!!!
When port security was told about their threats they said there will be a ton of security on our ports.
FOLKS lets get serious here!
We are talking about people who came here illegally and are now threatening to shut dwn our ports!
And these are people DEMANDING they get amnesty
And our (R) politicians say they will not make them felons?
What do you call threatening to shut down our ports on May 1? Not a felony? That's terroism plain and simple!!
Look at all the names on the list who are supporting the illegals:http://actionla.org/features/view.php?id=472

"It's a shared leadership among people who we don't even always know." Hmm.... no one leader.... shared leadership... sounds like some sort of communal movement or a social netowrk. A movement of the people as it were.

Demonstrations, From Coast to Coast
As an exercise in citizen journalism, we put out a call to readers to attend yesterday's demonstrations in support of illegal immigration, film them, and send us the resulting video. We didn't know what to expect, but the results were gratifying. We got lots of submissions, both of video and photographs. As a result, we've put together a Power Line Video of yesterday's rallies, from Seattle to Washington, D.C., which you can watch here.
In fact, as our video shows, the New York demonstration (like those in some other cities) was organized and controlled in substantial part by International A.N.S.W.E.R., the Communist organization that we have written about many times, most recently here. A.N.S.W.E.R.'s National Coordinator, Brian Becker, was prominent at the New York rally; he is the man in the blue shirt on the right in the photo below. Click to enlarge:
Note A.N.S.W.E.R.'s large "amnesty" banner with the words "Full Rights For All Immigrants!" as well as the Che Guevara banner.
International A.N.S.W.E.R. passed out thousands of mass-produced, yellow and black signs with exactly the same message. You can see them prominently displayed in our video footage from New York.

What is happening under the radar is that the alien lobby, certain elements of radical Islam, and some on the Left share common goals, tactics, and exploitations of our system and society.
Not a conspiracy, but rather a "coming together on common points."

FREEPER ACTIVISM
EXHIBIT ONE These matches and boycotts by illegals to hurt the economy could be a violation of RICO laws----under RICO, organized activity that deliberately hurts the US economy is prosecutable. Report the activities of these boycott organizing groups to the US Dept of Justice---email ASKDOJ@USDOJ.gov.
EXHIBIT TWO Boycotts could also violate The Hobbs Act if public officials are aidng and abetting these activities----The Hobbs Act covers extortion by public officials, as follows: 2403 Hobbs Act -- Extortion By Force, Violence, or Fear.
The Hobbs Act regulates extortion and robbery, which Congress has determined have a substantial effect on interstate and foreign commerce by reason of their repetition and aggregate effect on the economy. Therefore, the proscribed offenses fall within the category of crimes based on the Commerce Clause whose "de minimis character of individual instances arising under [the] statute is of no consequence." Primary investigative jurisdiction of offenses in 18 U.S.C. § 1951 lies with the FBI.
The Inspector General's Office of Investigations, Division of Labor Racketeering (formerly the Office of Labor Racketeering), United States Department of Labor, is also authorized to investigate violations of 18 U.S.C. § 1951 in labor-management disputes involving the extortion of property from employers by reason of authority conferred on nvestigators as Special Deputy United States Marshals. Supervisory jurisdiction over 18 U.S.C. § 1951 is exercised by the following offices with respect to the offenses noted:
1. Extortion under color of official right or extortion by a public official through misuse of his/her office is supervised by the Public Integrity Section, Criminal Division.
2. Extortion and robbery in labor-management disputes is supervised by the Labor-Management Unit of the Organized Crime and Racketeering Section, Criminal Division.
3. All other extortion and robbery offenses not involving public officials or labor-management disputes are supervised by the Terrorism and Violent Crimes Section, Criminal Division.

I think we also need to put together a list of companies that do not hire illegal aliens to do their work.
For one thing, I'm pretty sure that In-n-Out Burgers do not hire illegal aliens. It's the one fast food chain that I can go to in San Jose, and they understand what I am saying!!!! They all speak perfect English!!!
If I go to McDonalds, half the time they don't get my order correct. I rarely go to McD's because of this.

My Mom raised me to be Catholic. After 42 years on this rock, I find it very difficult to remember why..... Because you never made your momma's faith your own.
Faith is not about what churchmen do or don't do. It's about your own relationship with the Son of God who saved you.
It would be a very useful thing, over the next three days, to find where you left that relationship and pick it up again.

Faith is not about what churchmen do or don't do. It's about your own relationship with the Son of God who saved you.And my relationship with The Lord is fine. The Catholic Church is lost. I am Christian. I am also an American. A citizen of the nation that has promoted the fairest and best way of life ever known to man. Also the nation that has sent forth millions to spread the word of Jesus far more than any other.
But the RCC is not what Jesus had in mind. Art treasures? Property? Indulgences? All are a big part of the Church. But they don't feed the poor or spread the true word.
If Jesus came back today, he would chase the bishops out.
Time for the Church to realize that we Americans respect our laws. Illegal means illegal.
