Grassroots Americans from across the political spectrum will march in Washington, D.C., from Freedom Plaza to Capitol Hill on Monday from 9:30 AM until the early afternoon. Breitbart News will be broadcasting the event live online at Breitbart.com, starting when speeches from members of Congress and leaders in the activist community begin on Capitol Hill at 11 AM EDT and continuing until 4 PM EDT.
Confirmed speakers at the event include Sens. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Ted Cruz (R-TX), Reps. Steve King (R-IA) and Mo Brooks (R-AL), former Florida Republican Congressman Col. Allen West, conservative activist Wayne Dupree, the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, the Rev. O’Neal Dozier, Bishop Felton Smith, retired federal immigration agent Michael Cutler, documentary filmmaker Dennis Michael Lynch, Tea Party Community co-founder Ken Crow, ConservativeMESSENGER’s K. Carl Smith, TheBlackSphere.net’s Kevin Jackson, Louisiana State Sen. Elbert Guillory who left the Democrat Party in May 2013, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s former executive director Frank Morris, political analyst Katrina Pierson and BALA founder and Progressives for Immigration Reform executive director Leah Durant.
Durant told Breitbart News on Sunday evening that this event is meant to ensure that all working Americans, especially black Americans, get a voice in the immigration debate. “At a time when nearly 22 million Americans are either out of work or underemployed, it is our strong belief that now is no time to engage in policies that would artificially add millions more workers to US labor markets, dramatically increasing competition for scare U.S. jobs,” Durant said. “At 13.8%, black unemployment is nearly double that of the national average. Our coalition - the Black American Leadership Alliance reflects the views of everyday middle-class Americans rather than the political elites and big business interests from both the right and left, that have championed large-scale immigration to the US.”

The fight goes on, but why all these weekday working hours rallies? Yes, I know that that’s when the Congress critters are in town, but it’s almost as if they’ve forgotten that their constituency is the working people in America. (Or the organizers just want their weekends off.)
Good points. Better to have it on the weekends because it will get more people.
Or maybe people can take a day off and realize that the left doesn’t wait for the weekend to make their voices heard?
Finally black Amerticans are doing somnething for themselves...
They will suffer the most if this unConstitutional unAmerican AMNESTY treason goes through...
fyi ping.
Breaking news?
Maybe 20 people....
This is the real gaping opening from which to attack the forces of social corporatism who desperately want serf labor. Not only does immigration take jobs, but it drives down wages across the entire wage earning spectrum. It starts the opening wage at a far LOWER level so incremental additions from there are also necessarily lower.
Legal immigration should be controlled for the above reason.
Illegal immigration should be viewed as an invasion directly attacking the American lower and middle classes.
yes. the raping of our nation continues with these leftist cronies of both parties stealing and hording the critical first jobs attuned to our initial learning about the value of work, our first experiences of self-direction, to overcoming and fixing mistakes, to helping and serving others gainfully for ourselves, to using the fast movements of our youth to the best advantage for society, and, most importantly, to establishing the first benchmark for moving on, for bearing fruit for others in our lives.
these jobs are but one thing among many that the statists are stealing from our children. and they have the temerity to claim their position is moral as saving us from a permanent lower class. they are insuring a permanent lower class by their actions.
Thanks Lakeshark.
