They're here because they're hungry - not playing victim card, just fact.

They run down America because their schools - as do ours - constantly preach against the eee-vil American capitalists. Capitalists that give them jobs when their own country treats them like sh1t.

That just shows how effective indoctrination at an early age can be.

We seem to welcome American hating, capitalist hating migrants.. but throw up legal barriers to honest immigrants. Who want to come to America because they actually want to be americans and live the american dream working in a free marekt.

So it is not so inferior then. Let them so get cash in their superior land of Mexico. We need a freaking fence now!!! And I am speaking as a son of immigrants. A fence better be part of the final bill passed by the 2 chambers. The illegals definitely don't love this country; But they certainly hate it. Since the illegals love Mexico so much I say round as much of them up at these protests and send them back. When they protest why, just tell them that because of the generosity of the American people we are shipping them back on our own dime since, judging by the flag they flew, they definitely prefer Mexico more. So we are just doing them a favor. They can go fly that flag proudly in their beloved Mexico. We need a fence to help plug the hole!!!

protesters lowered the American flag, raised the Mexican flag

Has nothing to do with economics or immigration. Many of these people want the mexican flag flying over that ground.

Andres Jiminez, director of the University of California's California Policy Research Center, told the media, “It's not only Latinos who are marching in the streets, its unions too: firefighters, farm workers and Hispanic students who had thought of U.S. law as protecting them and are now starting to see it as a threat to their future.”



He was right about this much: Latino organizations did not act alone. The media has failed to report that organized labor directed the illegals and minors. The L.A. Times revealed the rally’s “security” was handled by a union identified only as “Local 1877.” That would be local 1877 of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the far-Left union founded by New Left radical Andrew Stern, which called for the withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Iraq in June 2004 and worked in concert with Ted Kennedy to roll back anti-terrorist Homeland Security measures. According to the L.A. Times, the SEIU’s goons kindly helped “herd marchers along the route.” That was not the extent of SEIU’s help, though. The union also “coordinated the more than 100 buses that dropped off marchers from throughout California, Las Vegas and a few Southwestern cities.”



In other words, the massive rally against Homeland Security – since that is what gaining control of America’s borders would promote – was staged by a leftist labor union and staffed primarily with illegal immigrants.



SEIU did not work alone in this. It was aided by other radical or left-wing political pressure groups, including:



· Southern California Human Rights Network (SCHRN), whose members are apparently affiliated with the International Socialist Organization. SCHRN drafted a resolution in Orange County declaring, “We believe that no human is illegal and oppose the criminalization, dehumanization, and exploitation of migrants, immigrants and or economic and political refugees, by means of media, legislation, ideology, rhetoric, etc. [This] includes augmenting border patrol units, commissioning other law enforcement agencies to work in conjunction with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and [includes] such policies as the Central American Free Trade Agreement, the North American Free Trade Agreement, and other policies that exploit the indigenous, peasantry, and environments of countries abroad.” In other words, capitalism and any form of immigration laws are exploitative.

· Pomona Day Labor Center, which helps employers hire “day laborers.” One must presume this organization knows its employees are illegals.

· Central American Resource Center, which advocates for illegals and lobbies for the government to make a “‘presumption’ of hardship” for and grant “permanent residency” to Central American illegals.

· Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), founded in 1986 to “get as many people as possible through the amnesty program established” by Ronald Reagan.



The cause is being helped in another way by the Los Angeles Unified School District – where more than 25,000 walked out of classes: through taxpayer-subsidized lobbying courses. According to the district, students “would remain in their home rooms through the day for discussions on the immigration issue, how to influence lawmakers and the consequences of walkouts, said Rowena Lagrosa, executive officer for educational service.” (Emphasis added.)

The local paper has been very good on this issue. I hope some leftist chain doesn't buy them out.

Montebello High Scool, LA, March 27, 2006. That is the tall flagpole over the entire school.

What? No obligatory anti-Tancredo remark? No mention of Bay Buchanan's PAC? You're slipping, Dane.

One of the most common and equally one of the most ludicrous charges leveled against the U.S. is that it makes poor countries poor. As if Mexico would be a rich country without the evil gringos (boo, hiss) blocking their advancement into the realm of superstates. What a crock. There are no U.S. troops in Mexico holding them down. The only thing holding Mexicans is other Mexicans. Look in the mirror.

I wouldnt be so sure about that given the position of the church on the subject. I wouldnt doubt their protests would be quieter and more polite. The 500,000 in LA suggest that neglecting our immigration laws has simple engendered a lack of respect for our laws. Allowing them to stay will guarantee less respect for our laws in the future. Do you doubt they will be marching after the first 6 year "guest worker" term is up and they have to go home?
