What's happening in my area. susie

[pabianice]

One cannot help but notice that the MSM is one foot away from the "Crowd'" indicating thousands. But cable news shows aerial views of just 100 people or so. LOL!

[darkwing104]

Haven't seen any protests here...

[mtbopfuyn]

to show their importance to the country

For beggars, they're a bit full of themselves.

[kingattax]

LEGAL immigrants should organize a protest day of their own.

Supposedly 4-5 thousand will be marching here today in the small town of Bullhead City AZ. Absolutely freaken amazing we are putting up with this illegal criminal actives.

I just had on CNBC. The host, Mark Haines, had two guests with opposing views. Haines, the host, then asked the anti-illegal immigrant guest if he was a "xenophobe, because it certainly sounds like it." When the guest, who ancestry is Armenian and mentioned the Ottoman Empire, explained his position, Haines rolled his eyes and then called him out saying "we are all immigrants except native Americans." Haines, who embarrassed himself IMO, kept emphasizing the word IMMIGRANT as opposed to illegal immigrant.

Any news on how the Brown Out is developing nationwide?

[R.W.Ratikal]

Great opportunity to round up the illegal aliens and deport them and their supporters.

Place a line of National Guards across the northern part of the state and net 'em as they mill around demanding rights.


BTW. Since when does the U. S. Constitution protect the rights of non citizens?

[Waverunner]

I wonder how these illegals would react if counterprotesters burn some mexican flags today.
I think they might get a little violent.
The media would hate to have to report that.
Illegal Immigrants attack US citizen's.
MSM probably would characterize the US citizen's as fringe lunatics.

Does anyone else find it ironic these are being held on “May Day”? Big day for communists.

May Day a.k.a. International Workers' Day

International Workers' Day (a name used interchangeably with May Day) is the commemoration of the Haymarket Riot of 1886 in Chicago, Illinois, and a celebration of the social and economic achievements of the international labor movement. The 1 May date is used because in 1884 the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions, inspired by labor's 1872 success in Canada, demanded an eight-hour workday in the United States to come in effect as of May 1, 1886. This resulted in a general strike and the riot in Chicago of 1886, but eventually also in the official sanction of the eight-hour workday. The May Day Riots of 1894 and May Day Riots of 1919 occurred subsequently.

Due to these left-wing overtones, May Day has long been a focal point for demonstrations by various socialist, communist, and anarchist groups. In some circles, bonfires are lit in commemoration of the Haymarket Riot usually right as the first day of May begins. [1] In the 20th century, May Day received the official endorsement of the Soviet Union; celebrations in communist countries during the Cold War era often consisted of large military parades and shows of common people in support of the government.

The Red Scare periods ended May Day as a mass holiday in the United States, a phenomenon which can be seen as somewhat ironic given that May Day originated in Chicago. Meanwhile, in countries other than the United States and United Kingdom, resident working classes fought hard to make May Day an official governmentally-sanctioned holiday, efforts which eventually largely succeeded. For this reason, May Day in most of the world today is marked by huge street rallies of workers led by their trade unions and various large socialist and communist parties — a phenomenon not generally seen in the U.S. (which has a history of strong anti-communism) or the UK.

In most countries other than the U.S. and UK, May Day is often referred to simply as "Labor Day".

Just saw illegals in Homestead, Fl. waving U.N. flags.

[mbennett203]

"Protesters waved Mexican, U.S. and Central American flags ... most signs were written in English, possibly due to the backlash over the release of a Spanish-language version of the national anthem"

Oh for the love of...

Oyenme, you morons, waving foreign banners triumphantly on the soil of our state and nation is WHAT'S FUELING THE BACKLASH.

[I still care]

In south florida there are towns that are almost 90% immigrant. The percentage of illegals? I don't know, but it must be high.

Most people think of CA as the illegal capital of America. Actually, South FL is the champ.

[rockbobster]

There was a flag burning, Mexican flags this time.
