LOS ANGELES — With millions of illegal immigrants planning to demand a path to citizenship by marching through the nation's streets on Tuesday, Los Angeles and other major cities are bracing for rally gridlock.

Demonstrators hope the marches will push Congress to answer their calls for action for an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants currently living in the United States before the presidential primary season.

Cities from coast to coast were preparing for the marches and voter registration drives stretching from California to New York on the May 1 International Workers' Day.

In Los Angeles, march organizers say there will be fewer people this year but the events will still cause traffic jams and disruptions to mass transit and businesses. Police are preparing for about 100,000 people, putting the department on maximum deployment with at least 1,000 officers.

Anarchists in our steets. Illegal criminals, that should be in jail for breaking our immigration laws, are flaunting their numbers, their power over Washington politicians' votes, ARE PLACING DEMANDS ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND OUR GOVERNMENT....all at the cost of the REAL American citizen. And it continues to worsen.

Well, I just mailed my employer 941 matching funds and federal withholding for the first quarter 2007.

Nice to know Congress will spend it wisely /s.

Giving the illegals that are already here US Citizenship (amnesty) will only encourage more of them to cross our Borders.

NO to Bush's CIR..NO to amnesty! Not now, not ever.

All these bills seem to dwell on what to do with the 12 mln+ people already here. Every one of them sets out qualifications and a convoluted scenario for the illegals to be legal, but none of these bills adequately states what happens to those within this group of 12 mln+ who don’t qualify.

Details, details, details! The official reply will be that there are so many of them that deporting them will be impossible.

Col. Al Rodriguez, author of You Don't Speak for Me, was on FoxNews with E.D. Hill.

He gave her an earful about how the media is playing up the May Day illegals demonstrations, while most media did not report much at all about the anti-illegals demonstration with various talkshow hosts, etc., going on in Washington.

They are whooping it up in the streets. I noticed some have wrapped themselves in the Mexican Flag. They love Mexico so much, they should go BACK and live there.

:::
Exactly — Mexico has their Manchurian candidate in Bush, and the vote-mongering liberals. And they WILL NOT CLOSE THE BORDER — so look at what we are facing if these globalist, utopian soverignty busters get their way...the taxpayer still gets screwed for over $100 BILLION PER YEAR, the barios keep expanding, welfare roles keep growing and the illegals and anything else just KEEPS COMING ACROSS OUR BORDERS.

These America-killers in Washington think this issue is just going to go away, afterall they don’t pay the bills and suffer the imported crime, imported poverty, imported giant drug industry, and more and more gangs.

This is just total madness...

May 1 International Workers' Day.

May Day. Is it safe to assume these people are communists? If so, just another reason not to have them in the country.

Javier Rodriguez the organizer of these marches was just on CNN. Just to show the open border lobby how misguided they are, Javier and his group is calling for the IMPEACHMENT of Pres. Bush and VP Cheney. Bush has done more for this group than ANYONE, but they don’t see it!

I am sure there is a support and money trail behind this guy and his thugs that goes back to the Dems...what I still cannot realize is the tolerance that is being shown these deliberate, calculating criminal illegals BY OUR OWN GOVERNMENT. You and I break the law, we go to jail. These maggots break our laws daily just by being here -— and they are SPOON FED BY THE GOVERNMENT...
