That quote sounds like it came directly from The President of The United States of America.

Or the office of La Raza.
When will there be an ANTI-illegal alien march?

I didn’t realize the majority of Americans felt that way.

Well ya know, I think legal immigrants should be treated better by INS bureaucrats, too. The hoops they have to jump through to get here and remain here are ridiculous!
Oh, this is for ILLEGALS?

I think it’d be really cool to go, wearing a black tee shirt with big white ICE letters on the back and taking pictures of these criminals.

In a commencement address at Miami Dade College on Saturday, President Bush called for tighter border controls, a temporary worker program and some kind of legalization provision. He said the estimated 12 million people residing in the Unites States illegally must be dealt with "without amnesty and without animosity." Stuck on that 12 million number eh? Try 35 - 37 million. And no they don't need a worker program, they don't need "Z" visas, they don't need sanctuary cities, they need to GET OUT.

When will there be an ANTI-illegal alien march? Can't. We have real jobs that we are responsible to and do not want to offend our employers. The illegals, on the other hand...

It’s a class 4 felony to be here ILLEGALLY.

I called the Chicago Field Office of ICE to ask if they would be at the protests to inforce Immigration Law.
They would not even take my call . . .
