Men and women in green, purple and yellow graduation caps and gowns marched several blocks through the streets of Tijuana, Mexico, to the Otay Mesa border crossing in San Diego, shouting "Texas," ''California," ''Arizona" and "Carolina." Mothers walked with their young children. Some wore T-shirts that read, "I Am Undocumented."

The protest, modeled on similar efforts last year when demonstrators claimed asylum at border crossings in Arizona and Texas, is one of the bolder tactics employed by advocates of looser U.S. immigration laws. More mainstream advocacy groups have focused on persuading members of Congress to support a broad overhaul backed by Obama.

Elvira Arellano, a Mexican woman who was deported in 2007 after taking refuge in a Chicago church for a year, led about 100 people in a noisy but peaceful protest on the Mexican side of the border that occupied two vehicle lanes at one of the nation's busiest crossings.

Anyone entering illegally should be arrested immediately, minimum. If they attempt to enter en mass fire at will.

"marched several blocks through the streets of Tijuana, Mexico"

Hey, I'm all for that!

KEEP marching in Tijuana. Keep it up until your shoes wear out.

But just keep it on the Mexican side of the border and everything's cool.

If we're lucky, maybe the corrupt Mexican government may fix their own problems, instead of unloading them on the USA.

Meanwhile, in Mexifornia, the Mexifornia Supreme Court ruled that despite federal statutes against aiding and abetting illegal aliens, an illegal alien was admitted to the Mexifornia bar and is allowed to practice Mexifornia law.

What happen to the slogan...‘I’m Undocumented, Unafraid, and Unapologetic ... declaring that they’re not only undocumented and unafraid. They’re also unapologetic....??
