Young illegal immigrants block freeway ramps, cheer Obama
Los Angeles Times ^ | June 15, 2012

More than 100 jubilant college students and graduates -- some of them undocumented -- rallied in downtown Los Angeles on Friday in support of President Obama's decision to halt deportations of young illegal immigrants.

At the L.A. Civic Center, the demonstrators chanted, “We are the Dreamers, the mighty, mighty dreamers” and moved off the sidewalk and sat in a long train blocking Aliso Street, from Los Angeles Street to Alameda Street. They were also blocking entrance ramps to the 101 Freeway.

Celebratory chants and speeches could be heard outside the federal building at Los Angeles and Aliso streets after the Obama administration announced the policy that will affect young undocumented immigrants who arrived in the U.S. before they turned 16.

"Ain't no power like the power of the people 'cause the power of the people don’t stop,” demonstrators chanted. Others yelled, "Obama you can court us, but you can't deport us."

"This is a moment of celebration. This is a step forward in the right direction,” said Dulce Matuz, 27, an electrical engineering graduate who attended college in Arizona.

"But we need to keep fighting for long-term legislation."

Effective immediately, young immigrants under the age of 30 will be allowed to apply for work permits as long as they have no criminal history and are not a threat to ...

Agree that it's unlikely.

We already have long term legislation.

What we need are some honest politicians who will actually keep their oaths of office, represent the citizens who elect them and pay them, and who will do their jobs and enforce the law of the land.

My guess is Villagarosa will be the the first governor of the newly minted Mexican state of California.

Too late.. this analogous to failing to treat a growing cancer which should`ve been removed long ago when it was small. Now that it`s metastasized to its present huge size, it`s now inoperable.

I suspect he has already picked out the drapes, furnishings, and umm...different flag for his next move, and it won't have a California address...

“They were also blocking entrance ramps to the 101 Freeway.”

WTF. Are these “La Raza” types allowed to do whatever they please?

Just asking.

I said it yesterday...this was done in an effort not to garner votes from this segment of the population.

This was done to create a crisis.

Go on I double dog dare you says 0bama to walk this EO back.

Go on Mitt Romney I double dog dare you to oppose this action(although Mitt had a great response yesterday).

Go on America oppose my actions on this, this segment will riot in the streets.

Is this for votes? I don't think so. This is being orchestrated for something else much more sinister. They've been trying for 3.5 years to provoke a need for calling out the National Guard or Martial Law.

Make no mistake here...this is not about votes. This is about stopping the election in Nov. These illegal kids don't realize they are being played for useful idiots.

Even 0bama's response saying this was good for America was half-hearted. He didn't believe it..it wasn't said with conviction or passion.

It takes less than 700,000 to create a congressional district. 300 million makes a crapload of democrat districts.

We’re less than 20 yeas away from “electing” some clown for life who likes to be called General.

Well, if the Police were doing their job and arrest them


How do they do that when they can’t check their IDs or inquire if they are in this country legally?
