LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Tens of thousands of immigrant rights advocates from across Southern California marched Saturday in protest of federal legislation that would build more walls along the U.S.-Mexico border and make helping illegal immigrants a crime.
The march followed rallies on Friday that drew throngs of protesters to major cities around the nation.

You are a criminal. You broke our laws.
I suspect they thought this would intimidate Americans into backing them. It just pisses me off.
The illegal aliens and the criminals who hire them and the criminals who harbor them are getting out in the street making their desires known. It is way past time those of us who support the rule of law and secure borders did the same.
Join Veterans for Secure Borders, The Minuteman Project, Latino Americans for Immigration Reform, Mothers Against Illegal Aliens, and other groups protesting amnesty for these criminals, and demanding the government protect our borders.

FReepers should be at this rally in strength. Saturday, May 6, in Crawford, TX.
Wait till the sun goes down.
This just proves that these guys are a bunch of malcontents who contribute nothing, but make huge demands.
Watch this video from the above FR post.

You might have to turn the volume down.
Why don't we just annex Mexico and get it over with?
This is so wrong it is indescribeable in the English language. In Mexico, such crowds of people who would not be FROM Mexico would be fired on and/or arrested and imprisoned IMMEDIATELY. It is in the Mexican constitution that such behavior is NOT allowed in Mexico.
Mexico is in the process of annexing America.
They are socialists waving a flag to another country while DEMANDING our American politicians do what THEY SAY and want.
Americans stand up for our Country NOW!
I called our lawn company and said dont you dare send any illegals to work on our lawn!
I also called a foundation company coming out next week to work on our foundation and told them the exact same thing
NO illegals!!
A illegal couldnt seak english came to our table today when we went out to eat, we all got up called the manager over and told them we were leaving and wouldnt be back till all illegals are GONE out of their restaurant, you should see the response and shock look on their faces.
Everyone should do the same!!!!
I have a better idea...let's trade all the worthless unemployed los negroes who are on the gummint mammary for the 11 million Mexicans in this country working paying taxes and making our economy grow....!!!
They already have make no mistake about that!
My hope and prayer is that the utter gall and complete arrogance of these people will finally tick off more Americans, and get them off their butts and fighting this invasion.
These large crowds only says just how many illegals there are in this county!
Los Angeles is going to the illegals at this rate!
Yes and if the LA folks are not going to stand up to it then they'd better pack their bags, it's past time...
Southern California will not be a pleasant place to live in a few more years. If I were there I'd be working on an exit strategy.
In addition PLEASE put out a flyer telling AMERICANS to call any company they deal with, lawn care services, foundation companies and tell them absolutely NO illegals are to be sent to work on your project...we did and you should see the response.
We walked out of a restaurant today but before we did we told the manager we wouldnt be back till all illegals were GONE out of the restaurant.
If you go to a hotel or motel INSIST and demand NO illegals clean your room.
We have been and will continue to do this, everyone should do it and see what happens than!
Also BOYCOTT all mexican destinations like Cozymel etc!
Let them see we will not take their demands or pushing their mexican flags in our faces or showing their fists at us. They are here ILLEGALY and if our politicians wont do anything about it than hit the companies were it hurts in their income!
Dream on.
I think there are about 2 million illegals now in the US
No such thing as an "illegal immigrant." Unless one is here on a temporary visa, one is either an "immigrant" who is here legally or one has broken into our country and is an "illegal alien."
I've simply got to stop reading these immigration threads or my long term health is in deep trouble...
Multiply that figure by "10" and you'll be a lot closer - but probably still way under.
Think again. Over 500,000 were just in L.A. alone. There have been marches all over the country. It's exponentially more.
Not everyone who marched was illegal. See:

I mean no disrespect, and I'm not trying to start a fight, but how would you know the person was illegal? I'm an old man and I can think of half a dozen people off the top of my head who are US citizens born in Poland, Russia, or Italy, who spoke little or no English until the day they died. In truth, they didn't need it. Most of their neighborhood spoke their native language, and their Churches and businesses as well.
I would think with Spanish being so prevalent these days (Para Espanol, press or say 2), it would be pretty easy for a US citizen to speak only Spanish.
Actually, the latest count is 11 million.
got a link?
Found one:

What if I want my German or Irish cousins here? They have to come in through the front door like everyone else, not sneak in and break their laws.
Why the hell are "his people" entitled to take cuts in front of the line, from the rest of the world?
A van full of illegals just drove in my yard and cursed at my neighbors. I guess they were just doing obnoxious behavior that Americans wont.
They will immediately make it impossible to do regular business unless you pay....and pay and pay....and the poor suckers that came here "just to work" will be out of work again...and worse, have no place to go.
The mexican people who come here are so ignorant that it is embarassing that we share the same species of homo sapiens. If they want permanent and useful work...and if they want to live a peaceful and prosperous life, they would seek legal status, learn English and become an American....
but apparently, they are ingorant enough to screw it up for everybody, themselves included.
Now I know what was going thru 'ol Sitting Bull's mind, watching all them "white eyes" coming over the hill...wondering what in the hell are we going to do with these people.....
Please study up before making such claims. There are resident aliens that have no intention of immigrating to America. There are illegal aliens from Ireland and China. And illegal immigrants from Russia. Not all of these aliens and immigrants broke in. Many of them came legally, and then failed to comply with all of the requirements. I do not trust ICE to be competent enough to correctly execute our current laws. These were the same people that issued visas to the animals that attacked us. Weeks later. Our own government's ineptitude makes some of these illegals illegal. http://uscis.gov/graphics/services/visas.htm
Stopped going to Mexico about 3 years ago when they and France backed Sadam instead of us before the war. St. Lucia is much nicer any way. Plus you can drink the water.
Like I've said in the past, reading these threads gives me one heck of a cardio workout.
I've studied up plenty so cut your condescending tone. "Broke in" is a figure of speech. If you are an "immigrant" you have been approved, and are not here illegally.
Reporters and open border people love to use the word "immigrant" instead of "illegal alien."
Sure it is, more proof that something has gotta be done about illegals and open borders!
Wrong. An "immigrant" that does not follow through on the requirements for citizenship within the proscribed time-frame, fails to notify of an address change, or a criminal conviction; becomes ILLEGAL. As they should. Even though they were approved from the get-go. It would appear that the Borax Queen has not met or sponsored any recent legal immigrants. And please verify that the 19th word on page 1 of your US Passport is "permit".
...that would build more walls along the U.S.-Mexico border and make helping illegal immigrants a crime.
Saying the word "immigrants" here implies that at some point, they applied for paperwork? Not all 20 - 25 million people here illegally have/had visas or are considered "immigrants" - even by the definition you laid out, are they?
ping
OK, that is just frightening.
"Actually, the latest count is 11 million."
Technically that is true, but that latest count took place in 94. Can you imagine what it is now?
Now that's a pretty angry bunch.
