Demonstrators march in Los Angeles, California, to protest proposed illegal immigration legislation. Half a million protesters paralyzed downtown Los Angeles, demanding amnesty for undocumented immigrants and rejection of a proposed law that would drastically tighten US immigration rules. Members of the Brotherhood of Undocumented Idiots chanted "GIVE US FREE MEDICAL AND DENTAL!" while playing bongos on Adams Blvd.

Holding tightly to her anchor babies, an unidentified undocumented immigrant explains that she appreciates the free breakfast and lunch program in the Los Angeles Unified School System and is trading in her foodstamps for lotto tickets.

Jesus "Chewy" Sanchez leads the crowd in favorite chant, "ONLY BIGOTS PUT LAWBREAKERS IN JAIL!"

Del Taco employees hold up a sign advertising free taco grandes.

Thousands take to the streets of Los Angeles, Saturday, outraged by congressional bill HR 4437 which dares to infringe upon the rights of illegals to cross the border illegally.

Yolanda Araujo demonstrates how phony I.D. cards are made in any number of shops on Alvarado Street.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaragosa, who flunked the bar exam four times and cannot legally practice law in the state of California, urges the crowd to continue their fight for "the right to come across the border and sponge off U.S. tax payers!"

Protesters show solidarity with the Los Angeles county jail population, over one quarter of which are illegal immigrants who were felons in Mexico as well.

Could they do anymore to prove the need of such legislation?

Don't use cutesy "made up words" to confuse people !

Please call them INVADERS and don't compare them to people who are legal aliens!


President Bush has been great on most things except for our border.
He has been great on the war on terrorists.
But on the border he is a gross failure.
He acted fast and correct on the 3,000+ people murdered at the world trade center.
He ignores the many rapes, murders and robberies which might be larger than the murders and money loss at the world trade center.
More Americans are abducted on the border of Mexico than in Iraq!

Start building the fence.

It should be made a felony for Criminals who overstay their visas and Invaders.

I believe we should give amnesty to these poor CRIMINALS or INVADERS.
This should be a 2 week amnesty to get the heck out of our Country.
The ones who ignore this amnesty should be buried in a tent city jail and fined $10,000 or buried elsewhere.
All aiders and abettors of these CRIMINALS or INVADERS should get 1 year in a tent city jail and a $10,000 fine for each CRIMINAL aided.
Those in government should be the first ones charged.

The idea would be to just step across the border, take some pics for the LMSM, and then back onto US soil. Hell, we know who would arrest one for such, it would be our own government. They won't do a damned thing about the illegals, but will definitely stop anyone from upsetting their Mexican friends.

All those whining about can't do nothing about the 12 million here now, will be same ones who don't stop it and whining they can't do nothing about the 20 million more who will come in the next few years.

Getting bloody well fed up with the politicians and bureaucrats who refuse to enforce our laws and protect our borders. These illegals who come, hate our guts, they want jobs and power, they don't give a fig about America, they detest us.

Advice for people who don't want to support farmers who use illegal foreign labor:

Grow some of your own fruits and veggies, or join a local food co-op that will grow them for you. Start with tomatoes or some herbs, something easy to grow. Give extras to your friends and neighbors. Every little bit helps.

Can your own fruits and veggies to store for winter use, or freeze them (I just finished baking muffins using cranberries bought at the local farmer's market last summer and stored in my freezer).

Store some fruits and veggies in a cool cellar over winter (like beets, potatoes, yams, apples, carrots, squash) that were grown locally.

Eat fruits and veggies that are in season in your area, not those shipped in from other countries. For example, buying grapes from Peru at the supermarket in February is unnecessary and a waste of resources. (You'll probably just get a stomach ache from them anyhow. God only knows what they sprayed on them.)

Get to know local farmers. Go to the farmer's markets. Find out if they use pesticides, etc. on their crops. Find out who they hire to work in their fields. Are they legal?

Some of us who still have backbone would rather fight for the California as we once knew it instead of tucking our tails between our legs and running off like cowards. I don't think you'd take it very kindly if you constantly heard 'Hand Louisiana back to the French' would you?

What if say, the AMERICAN taxpayers decided not to pay said taxes?

Then where would these SPONGES be?

It's time for the AMERICAN people to get off their asses and so something instead of worrying about their favorite sports teams, hollyweird stars, crappy movies and entertainment 24/7

"I don't think you'd take it very kindly if you constantly heard 'Hand Louisiana back to the French' would you?"

The French can have it! I could care less about La... it ranks 49 or 50 on virtually every negative category you can imagine.

WRT California, I can't wait to see what you are going to do about millions of hispanics who want California and have already placed a large portion of their occupying force in the state. What will you do? How much blood should be shed over a state that has very little identity with the rest of the US? Whose citizens actively undermine the federal government? You say you will fight, but I doubt you and the rest of the US have the stomach to start a war to kick hispanics out of California.

You got linked by leftist bloggers (which conveniently show up in a Google news search for "Freerepublic.com"). They don't much like your take on things:

In a bid to be fair and balanced (or cruel and unusual), we'll also link to this photo essay at freerepublic.com. We apologize if this classy and high-minded discourse on the complex issues of immigration by cinnamon girl makes you throw up in your mouth a little.

I'm not hitting the link, whatever it is, because I don't want them to get the hits and I also don't care what they think or who they are.

I don't blame you. In any event, someone calling themselves "California Conservative" already posted a comment there in your defense:

Fair and balanced? Cinammon Girl makes you "throw up in your mouth" why? Because she's got photos that show the protest in a more candid light. Well, actually, so does indymedia. Just depends on what position you're taking.

I still don't know what LAlist is or why it is so important as to be considered a "news" source to Google.

I like that quote!
Do you remember when the Marines were going ashore in East Africa, the TV reporters had spot lights trained on the Marines to record their landing?
I would have snipers shoot out the spotlights!

Not yet. Then again, that also depends on your definition as well. In a REAL "anarchy", it'd be perfectly legal to defend your property borders with physical force. Or to fire a worker who walked off the job to go protest. There would also be no welfare/social security/medicare/school fraud perpetrated by illegals as there would be no welfare/social security/medicare/school being driven by a government that allows illegals to swamp said systems.
