An anti-illegal immigration rally on Beacon Hill outside the State House on Saturday, July 26 was teeming with protesters.

While Bree Sison of CBS Boston estimated that the gathering drew hundreds of people, Jeff Kuhner, the host of WRKO’s The Kuhner Report, who organized the rally, put the number closer to 10,000 people.

People carrying signs that said “Deport illegals,” and “Americans before illegals” stood just outside the State House from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Kuhner told Boston.com that he himself is a legal immigrant.

Kuhner came to the United States in the 1990s on a work visa as he worked towards a Ph. D. Still a Canadian citizen, he was issued a green card in 2006. Kuhner said he is currently in the process of becoming a naturalized citizen.

“I’ve never seen any kind of a backlash like this before on any issue ever. People in this state are livid. They feel betrayed by the political elite,” Kuhner said of Gov. Deval Patrick’s decision for Massachusetts to offer shelter to unaccompanied minors.

I hope the rally organizers have designated pressure-cooker lookouts at these events.

They have been betrayed by the political elite.

And the political elite could care less how they feel about it or what they think.

Even if you had enough to carry a vote, what makes you think the elections are fairly run?

Haha. I met the woman that made and was holding that sign.

I personally liked the one on the right: “Read This, Deval”. It is rude, but no ruder than what he is doing to his constituents by bussing in hundreds of contagious freeloaders.

Haha. That was great. Jeff Kuhner held that one up for all to see!

What we need to do is put a million people in DC..shaking the fence around the WH...a roaring crowd with no permit. Make it impossible to get in and out for days on end.

What happened? Did a handsome prince kiss the people of Massachusetts? They seem to have been asleep for the past 100 years.
