And I am cynical, too, that some editor said "This is the next important thing up, push it to the front!"
Amazing! Invaders demanding an Amnesty - not favored by most Americans - get more positive coverage from the American media than patriotic Tea Party Americans opposing a law not favored by most American.
Where’s that Aww Jeez graphic?
Democrats getting ready for a shell game of more destructive legislation.
ya its illegals holding rally for healthcare...Dems know how to get illegals to dc for rally but cant arrest them or send them out of the country....
most likely the thousands counted is part of anti healthcare demonstration...dont know how to get the true story to the public.
They were predicting 40 thousand to show up so you can bet that number will be the minimum they report.
Send the police out and arrest those breaking the law.
Tens of thousands invading our borders and a stand down order from the U.S. government?
Corporations that run the political parties want the cheap labor and Dems know they’ll vote Dem when they are ‘deeemed’ legal.

Yes, truly amazing.
These people are traitors and communists, all of them!
“Invaders demanding an Amnesty - not favored by most Americans”
And those ILLEGALS will all have voting privileges come next November. I’d put money on it. If 55% of the American public didn’t want the health care travesty, you can bet that no matter how many US citizens don’t want amnesty, it will be shoved down there throats in like manner.
I heard someone called Rep. John Lewis a n****r in spanish
Yep, they will all pay attention to them, I am sharpening my pitch fork
Yep, and just watch. They MSM will show the predominantly white healthcare protesters in one area...and the Hispanics in another area..and purposefully make it look like a race war. This smells!!
The American citizen gets F’d by the very people they send to represent them and these illegals will get card blanche.
The MOOCHERS are getting restless.
They thought Obama would have nationalized the entire economy and turned over our real estate, savings accounts, 401K’s and IRA’s to them by now.
The ‘tards aren’t even letting the dust settle.
Amnesty WILL be passed before November so the democrats can be re elected after their vote for the health care travesty. The fix is in.
A Target Rich environment !
