More than 800 people joined a march supporting immigration rights this morning, culminating in a lunchtime, festival-like gathering at Lincoln Park.
The march began shortly after 9 a.m. at Rude Park and proceeded without any problems, police said.

A group calling itself "World Can't Wait" led the march.
"This is Germany in the 1930s all over again!" according to a press statement. "The past seven years of the Bush regime have seen a dramatic escalation of attacks on immigrants on many fronts."
But marchers say they don't believe there would be significant changes under a Barack Obama or John McCain administration.
"Obama has made no call to reverse this whole ugly program," the statement says. "Stop the attacks on Immigrants! Stop the ICE raids! Stop the Criminal Bush Program!"

March supporters included those with T-shirts that proclaim: "Immigrant rights are human rights."
Felipe Perez, 32, of Denver, said he is a first-generation citizen who lays tile for work, and that several members of his family were deported, including his aunt who was pregnant when one day she disappeared.
"We didn't know what happened to her. Something has to be done to open our borders. I still have family members who come here to make a better life," he said.

An older man watching the march commented, "I don't know how someone could stay home and watch Dr. Phil with all this going on, but they do."

It sure looked like it on Hussein Obomber's Mile High stage - no?
But let us not think in narrow, bipartisan tones, but open it up to wider objectivity.
Fact is, these lowlifes should keep moving north and east, if by car caravan they can get there in time in Minneapolis.
They should get an open ear too at the GOP RINOfest, particularly from that party's Open Borders SHAMNESTY nominee, Juan McCain.
The Republican party has no leg to stand on when it comes to illegal aliens. They are just as corrupt as the Democrats.
“”This is Germany in the 1930s all over again!” according to a press statement.””
Somehow I don’t remember Hitler opening his borders and offering all kinds of free services to whatever crawled across the border. I kinda remember things a little differently. It has been a while though so perhaps i’m mistaken.
“The Republican party has no leg to stand on when it comes to illegal aliens. They are just as corrupt as the Democrats.”
Our banner carriers such as Bush and McCain are awful on it but we do have some members who still keep up the good fight.

This is how deluded and dangerous these people are. George Bush lost the support of his base over catering to them and giving them anything they want. And this is the thanks he gets. Do you suppose he’s learned his lesson??
If any of the people in that picture are illegal I will eat my sombrero.
