Unidentified marchers laugh during an immigration rally in Los Angeles May 17, 2007. The rally was held as a response to the Los Angeles Police Department's action at a May 1st rally, when they used force to disperse the crowd. A deal between leading senators would grant millions of undocumented immigrants lawful status, but other reform advocates warned any celebration was premature. Picture taken May 17, 2007.

Day laborer Juan Carlos Vazquez expresses his reaction to the immigration reform proposal Friday, May 18, 2007, outside a Home Depot in Los Angeles. Illegal immigrants and advocacy groups sharply criticized the Senate's immigration reform proposal, saying the provisions are overly harsh and will drive many people deeper into the shadows.

When all is said and done we’ll be needing more illegals to do the jobs the previous illegals won’t do.

All I need to know on the Immigration Bill is that the Admiral of Chappaquiddick is for it. Ergo, I am against it.

"I want to work an eight-hour day, as God sees fit, without problems with either the immigration authorities or the police or anybody," he said. "Everyone should have the right to that in this life."

I want that for you too, Rogelio, but America is not required to make our borders obselete in order to give you an eight hour/day job that pays well. The Mexican government should be doing that. Yet it refuses to do so.

That pic turns my stomach. These people should be excommunicated from the republican party.

Everyone please pass this on to everyone you know. I and many others called our Senators all day on Friday and they are beginning to cave.

Please! Everyone begin bombarding your Senators first thing Monday morning at 9:00 AM Eastern Time.

Just call the Senate Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and they will connect you to the office of your Senators.

Thank you in advance for fighting for your country this weekend.

I had to get up and turn the TV station because Bill (I’m looking out for you) O’Reilly is sounding like La Raza cut a big check for him.

He sits there and calls it unfair, it is amnesty and the flood will continue, America will never be the same etc. Then turns around and says it don’t get no better so we should see it as a good thing.

Since when are the criminals the ones that decide what is fair and legal??

I feel like I am living in a Lewis Carroll novel when I read this garbage.

Turns my stomach too, but let me amend your second line: These people should be excommunicated from the republican party. executed for treason against their country.

There, fixed it.

A public example of traitors would go a long way towards repairing the perspective of public servants. (Public 'servants,' how shamefully laughable has that term become?)

“Admiral of Chappaquiddick”

Teddy K earned his brass when he commanded the SS Oldsmobile. It sunk on its maiden voyage, but he managed to save half his crew. (But unlike McCarther, he did not "return".

Held in such high esteem he ran for President in 1980.

The people who hire day laborers need them for very short term jobs. They are not looking to put people on legitimate payrolls. I suspect the good 8 hr/day jobs these folks dream of may not be as pleantiful as they dream them to be.
