YAKIMA, Wash. The Yakima chapter of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps says it will shoot video of tomorrow's May Day immigration reform march in the city. Chapter president Bob Dameron says he was shocked by a similar march last year in which people carrying foreign flags demanded rights.

A march and rally also is planned tomorrow in Seattle as part of a day of demonstrations across the United States and Mexico. The Seattle march is being planned by The Committee for General Amnesty and Social Justice." Organizers are calling for a moratorium on immigration raids and deportations.

Last year thousands of people marched in Seattle with some people leaving jobs to join in.

Meanwhile, a Mercer Island man, Bob Baker, is gathering signatures on Initiative 966 that would require government to verify the identity of welfare applicants and report immigration violations.

A lot of illegals in Yakima — close to 20% of the population.

“The Committee for General Amnesty and Social Justice”

Social Justice is always a code word for Marxism.
Cold War over? Nope, just different players.

Not sure what the point of this is. I knew for a fact that many of the people in our town’s march last year were not illegals, but just supporters. Immigration has no interest in sweeps of the crowd for that reason.

"More anarchy in our streets..."

They probably have permits as it is a long planned event. Hardly the stuff of anarchists.

Even criminals that are in our nation illegally are protected by the Bill of Rights.

“Last year thousands of people marched in Seattle with some people leaving jobs to join in.”

Even the schools emptied out into the streets last year.

I hope people point the cameras at the news crews covering the story.

(see infamous cindy sheehan picture)

I bet many “set up” images will be shown.
