LAPD just released numbers -- 250K in the rally earlier in downtown LA.

75K hanging around now.

how about enforcing the laws and purging the invaders?

I've been saying this for a long time...

I went to Home Depot today, and felt safe for a change.

Refreshing!

I hired Hispanics because they were cheaper.

Well, you've got a lot of guts admitting that...Do you also shoplift and leave restaurants with 'their' silverware??? It is cheaper than buying your own...

If I did it again, I would not hire illegal workers at all.

If they start enforcing the law, maybe you'll end up in jail...

I would like them hanging in Beverly Hills. Near Barbs and Baldwin.

I've had Asian, I've had black and I've had white. (Hispanics) are the most hardworking, dedicated, family oriented, focused people I've ever had work for me," said Lena, 26. "The backbone of my business is on their shoulders

Groovy. So move to Mexico. According to you, should be Nirvana. Why wait? Leave now, take your backbone with you...we'll just have to muddle along without y'all...

Report from Occupied San Jose: driving around East San Jose (the center of the civilized Universe, where all Hardworking, Dedicated, Family Oriented and Focused People dwell), I saw a number of the usual dilapidated cars and trucks draped, of course, with giant Mexican flags, and piloted by the usual sinister looking folks who appear to be evading the parole officer today. Did not see the GIANT demonstrations on King and Story roads, even though I was on both about the time when it was supposedly happening....maybe I'm just myopic.

All morning I heard the sounds of people everywhere doing yard work.

And it was a beautiful sound.

It was the sound of Americans doing the work Americans would do if illegal aliens weren't doing it for less.

God Bless America and God Bless Americans!!

Did anyone hear Whorealdos defense of the illegals on O'really tonight.


I want to know how many can afford to have a Mexican maid in their home.

I would think that anyone who can afford to pay a Mexican illegal maid probably knows they are violating the law.

"I really bet Cinco De Mayo Festivities in the US will be down this year."

Ah. Despite the annoyance of the Commie holiday getting some attention, there's always a silver lining.

"Traffic on the highways was a heckuva lot less and easy to get around today. I love this day without illegals. Everyday please!"

I noticed that as well, the usual hour plus trip into Orange County (CA) took about 35 minutes, coming back only about 5 more....
Who'd a thunk it!

(PS: not sure if it was less vehicles or just fewer weird/slow/erratic/irritating freeway challenged illegals, but it was nice. I'm told the trucks into and out of the harbor were at least somewhat immigrant free also - must have been nice on the 710.)

I passed driving thru that area last time and today as well.

They had some live coverage from there on local news, it didn't look huge to me..

Diana,

I let it be known that I would be doing business as usual today and there would be no rescheduling. Anyone who chose to alter hours or not show up would be out my business henceforth.

I got a couple takers, my usual breakfast restaurant boycotted so I went to another that did not, and I will not return to the old restaurant. Both restaurants are owned and run by immigrants, just one group screwed themselves.
