Watching massive marches across the country calling for a path to legalization for undocumented immigrants, Roberta Allen felt her anger slowly rising.
``They have a lot of gall coming here and demanding rights that aren't theirs to have,'' said Allen, 62, a San Jose small-business owner. ``I've no problem with legal immigrants. It's illegal aliens I have a problem with.''
Allen refers to her point of view as ``the other side'' in the debate over immigration reform. After ceding the spotlight in recent days and weeks to immigrants' supporters, she and some of her fellow opponents are looking to a series of counter-demonstrations to show their point of view.
These organizers say they represent the American mainstream, and polls suggest that, in at least some of their arguments, they do. Most of those questioned in several surveys over the last month say it should be a crime to enter the United States and stay illegally. And 81 percent of respondents in a Gallup poll last month agreed with one of the central tenets of the opposition: that illegal immigration is ``out of control.''
