High school students march against the U.S. House bill 4437 on immigration for the second day through Phoenix, Arizona March 28, 2006. Approximately 2,000 students from nine different high schools left classes to march to the state capital.
Wow, they can write in English!
We're in a snit!
Our clothes don't fit!
Get used to it!
:)
If they're immigrants there's no reason for them to worry. If they're illegal immigrants, they're crimminals.

Whittier area students from Pioneer, California and Whittier high schools walked out of classes to protest the proposed federal immigration bill March 27, 2006. The protestors put up the Mexican flag over the American flag flying upsidedown at Montebello High. (Leo Jarzomb/Staff photo)

Students from Marshall High School, Blair High, and Pasadena High School and Muir High School walked to the Pasadena Unified School District Headquarters in protest to denounce a federal legislative proposal that would criminalize illegal immigration and require building a 700-mile wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Students walked from El Rancho High School in Pico Rivera to Pioneer High School in Whittier, then on to Whittier High School, to Montebello High School and then to downtown Los Angeles.

based on their attire, thank GOD it wasn't raining!
At whose behest and encouragement did these teens develope an opinion?
I doubt they have any idea what their matching for.
This and every other picture of the protesters I've seen have convinced me at to what's skewing the statistics on American obesity. How can a culture get that fat on beans and tortillas?
WHERE ARE THE BURRITOS!!!! WE NEED MORE BURRITOS!!!!
Homegirl needs to lay off the Chalupas.
I didn't know Horatio Sanz had joined in the protests.
The fat girl is in training to become a whale of a mamacita.
What a cool way to get out of Math class!
"Man, look at all these kids! This is lots more fun than school..."
Mexican food is about the most fattening there is!
1. While they were waiting for the light to change, a few sat on people's cars that were in the Burger King parking lot next to the sidewalk. ---I was taught that was someone ELSE's property, and NOT to do that.
2. My husband smiled and yelled, "God Bless the United States of America." Their reply...down the line...as we drove by...was F___ YOU!!!
Now, it seems to me, that if you are trying to barge into someone else's Country illegally, you might not want to swear at those whose help you'll need to stay there.
I was shocked. I was furious. They were tacky. They were rude.
They need to march some more; they're all too fat.
Future graffiti writers convention hits the streets.
Very disturbing.
Refried beans are full of fat, alas.
(My favorite food, the worst contribution of Spanish culture to this Sephardic Jew.)
One of our local news affiliate made a stong case that these kids don't even really know what they're protesting about. One girl was asked why she was marching. She replied because of Bush's stupid laws. The reporter pointed out that Bush is actually on her side. She said, that's not what I was told!
Yesterday, a caller to Howie Carr's radio show (Boston area talk show) called Carr a member of the KKK for wanting to secure the borders.
Drink ice cold sodas with that and you'll get fat. The food doesn't get digested right. Plus I would say the core of the Mexican diet is rice, beans, tortillas and chicken
And it's a neck & neck race between the bust and the gut...looks like the gut is ahead by just a inch...it's gonna be close....THE GUT HAS IT!! THE GUT HAS IT!!
Shock.
To me, these pictures are alarming because they show a blatant disregard and dis-respect for our nation (evidenced by the American flag flying upside-down AND below the Mexican flag).
They also show that these kids are stupid in that they can't distinguish between legal AND illegal immigration.
I fear for our country in ways I previously didn't.

What is this, Ritchie Valens Jr. High School?
Is California having trouble with beached whales again?
ummmm....if these folks want to become American citizens why are they flying the Mexico flag and disrespecting the American flag?
They interviewed the kids who skipped class yesterday here in Phoenix and marched at the state capital - the Fox station kind of poked fun at how they were at the state capital and being there had nothing to do with what's going on in the Senate in D.C. They also asked a lot of kids what it was about, and they had no clue. They couldn't even name the Senators who would be voting on it that were from AZ!
FWIW, traditional Mexican cooking uses lard. Lots of it.
Lard comes from pigs. You might want to talk to your Rabbi about this ...
The schools need to adopt some dress codes and suspend students who violate it. Where are the parents of these kids that allow them to leave home looking like tramps?
Fox News just reported that LA students are on the march again.

Via Michelle Malkin, it's what the Montebello High (Calif.) flagpole looked like when protesters were done with it.
Obviously goodhearted, hardworking, future Republicans and devout Catholics. (sarc)
Posts 32 & 33 made me laugh out loud for the first time in days. Thank you. It felt good.
I wish Hannity would do a "man on the street" and interview these kids and ask detailed questions about why they are marching. I guarantee, NOT ONE of them KNOWS the answer. They were heavily encouraged, probably PAID to cut class and march.
To give you an idea how much lard is used with 2 cups of cooked beans. This is lard overkill as far as I'm concerned ---->>>
Refried Beans
Ingredients
1/2 cup vegetable oil or lard
2 cups cooked Pinto Beans (recipe follows)
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Heat lard in 10-inch skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Pinto Beans; cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Mash beans; stir in chile powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Add more oil to skillet if necessary; cook and stir until a smooth paste forms, about 5 minutes. Garnish with shredded cheese if desired.

Illegal aliens smuggle spare tires across the border.
Your photos have not shown up twice because you are including a question mark on the very tail end of the URL.
BTW, to all those male Freepers who obviously do not live in invaded areas, and have been cheering the invasion because they assume a bunch of Salma Hayek and Jennifer Lopez lookalikes are flooding across the border, take a good look at the photo. The young lady on the right is much closer to the way the typical female invader looks, except most are older, even fatter, and have several kids trailing along with them.
"Lard comes from pigs. You might want to talk to your Rabbi about this ..."
I converted. I told my priest Peter's dream (where he was told to ignore kashrut rules) was the real reason.
We do still celebrate all the applicable festivals, however, and I got a lot Anglicans and roman catholics drunk during Lent this past Purim.
Dammit, this makes me mad.
It does give us some insight into how Senorita Cerdo in the protest picture got her muffin-top.
