Could be because there is a sensing that there is a GROWING BACKLASH against the illegals?
Police officials could estimate that crowd, but not 1.2 million in D.C. on 9-12...hmmm?
Wonder if turnout now correlates with turnout in November?
I drove right through the Civic Center area of L.A. today northbound on US 101 about 2:00PM. I saw 5 or 6 helos in the air above the Civic Center, police cars were situated on the overpasses, but there didn’t seem to be a lot of protesters.
Many went home to Mexico and/or there’s a Dem in the WH. I sort of wish they had done what they did in 2006. That did wonders for their cause ;)
The crowd in LA was at one point chanting “Obama escucha! Estamos en la lucha!” (Obama listen! We’re in the fight!)
They just want a war, so why would there be any backlash from us? <\end sarc>
Sounds like a bust to me. This may mean more Hispanics support the Arizona law than one might think and they did not turn out.
It may be that they didn’t have the cash for gas to get to the turnout. There is a growing backlash against illegals and I’m sure they are aware that the American general populace is waking up to the problem.
Thanks for the good news!
I agree, the illegals aren’t stupid, although I hoped for a few good riots.
Good News Finally....
Thanks OP
Oh noez...
So many had to hide in the shadows this year...
They should pick another day to do their agitation. We expect their crap on May day. Have to say, that 2006 march was kind of their high water mark. It was impressive to say the least. It also galvanized the opposition to the illegales.
PING
Or maybe a lot of them have already self-deported because they can’t find a job.
Unless they've been radicalized by La Raza, LULAC or that ilk, I'd say that most legal Hispanics are somewhere between embarrassed for and furious at -- the illegals.
After all, in Texas, many Hispanic families have been here as long (if not longer) than whites -- they are the quintessence of "natural born citizens". Those who came here legally played by the rules and jumped through hoops to get in -- something the illegals piss on.
The idiot politicians who pander to "Hispanics" are actually insulting them.
Are you listening, John McCain...?
“Police officials could estimate that crowd, but not 1.2 million in D.C. on 9-12...hmmm?”
Yeah, I was there too. Today’s reporting on this over-hyped event is a startling contrast to the total lack of coverage of that much larger crowd in DC on 9/12...
A dem in the white house seems to create problems for all. Go figure.
