The National Park Service is allowing an Oct. 8 pro-immigration rally on the national mall, even as it posts pickets and barriers to bar Americans from visiting their open-air memorials.
“They’re going to be allowed to go [ahead] because it is a First Amendment activity,” Shannon Maurer, a spokeswoman for the “March for Immigrant Dignity and Respect,” told The Daily Caller.
“They allowed us to have it because it is part of the First Amendment of the constitution,” said Susana Flores, a spokeswoman for CASA in Action, which is organizing the rally. ”We’re going to have a stage and microphones,” plus a stand for TV cameras, she said.

All of the NPS property needs to be devolved to the States.
No, they did not. The Zero King is allowing it because it's a thumb in the face of real Americans. Do you really think he would allow those of us born and raised here to hold a rally in light of the Dem-forced government shutdown? Not on your life.
The spiteful King Zero sits on a Petulant Throne.
If this is the case, every person who wants to visit a national park or monument just needs to wear a sandwich board protesting the closure.
Voila, “First Amendment Activity”.’
ps The good news is, this is not going to end well for Obama. Elderly veterans prohibited from entering their memorial vs. illegal aliens rallying on the Mall? Wow. Hubris and arrogance at it’s most obvious.
This MORON needs to be REMOVED from office as he doesn’t even understand that the first amendment to OUR CONSTITUTION applies to AMERICAN CITIZENS - NOT ILLEGALS.
Well, my Congressman just got his seconds call of the day from me.
Barry and Harry have managed to get a Major Storm headed for Federal Property......SHUTDOWN

AMAZING!
If they can’t I’d like to see several hundred citizens surround AF 1 on a tarmac somewhere and ground it (if they wouldn’t get shot by the SS).
I hope they all bring their Mexican flags, but I know that won’t happen. The organizers will give a little American flag to all of them so that they can claim that they are entitled to everything they want in this country.
We do.
Oh really? Americans denied access to federal property while illegals are given the red carpet treatment?
By all means, keep it up. This obnoxious display by the marxists and their spiteful dear leader is occurring at an opportune time. The sheeple have finally begun to pay attention and Obama is losing the shutdown PR war.
Might work. Or get naked, smear yourself with chocolate, go the memorial and call it performance art. You could probably get a grant ....
>> Oh really? Americans denied access to federal property while illegals are given the red carpet treatment?
Denied access to the Memorials!
THE FOREIGNER takes another dump on this country. This fraud won’t enforce our borders and then elevates illegals above veterans.
When did invaders get constitutional rights?
Time for the army of northern virginia to do something they could not do 150 years ago.
I wonder whether this supposedly ardent First Amendment supporter would agree, for instance, with the Supreme Court decision where Citizens United's right to air an anti-Hillary Clinton film was protected under the same First Amendment. Somehow I would think that Ms. Flores, like Obama and almost all congressional Democrats, would not agree with the SCOTUS on that. She, like most lefties, most likely would prefer "free speech for me, but not for thee."
Capture Washington, DC?
