More than 300,000 people have turned out, stretching from Union Park to Grant Park, said Chicago police spokeswoman Monique Bond.
Volunteers handed out paper cups of water outside Old St. Patrick?s Church, 700 W. Adams, as country star Lee Greenwood's "Proud To Be An American" blared from speakers.
"Isn't it magnificent?" asked Bill Fraher, the church's music director. "It's pretty powerful. Just the sea of humanity and people just asking for what is rightfully theirs."
"And the day after that we demand reparations, and the day after that we take your farms at gunpoint. The future of this mess has been written, its name is Zimbabwe"
Exactly. Today we march, tomorrow we vote, the day after the country is wrecked.
Look at South Africa. They had a large number of Africans who were long term guest workers. They started demanding the right to vote and obtained international support. When they finally won the country was ruined by incompetant government and the native SA left in droves.

Can anyone explain to me why the INS is not planning raids on all these protests?
Our government has abdicated it's responsibility.
I think it's more likely we'll get a Hillary or a Chavez.
Yep South Africa and Zimbabwe are America in 15 years, sooner in the southwest. I suspect the demands for redistribution of land and other reparations are coming even sooner. Where to flee? Europe is in even worse shape.
Best Line of the Month!!!! Can I steal it for a tagline for a couple days?

First off, the INS no longer exists. It is now the ICE.
Second, with groups this large, it is not possible to arrest all the illegals in the group, and there is the potential for the crowd to react violently. There are not enough police, ICE, and other law enforcement people there to handle a crowd this large in that way.
Third, the number of vehicles required to transport arrestees and the facilities to house them make it impossible to enforce immigration laws at such gatherings.
It's all common sense.
Absolutely positively dead on correct. I still refuse to use the "Z" word. I will forever refer to it as
And I want to go to a bank and demand all their money which is rightfully mine.
As they say, a bank robber is just an undocumented loan applicant.
All those poor, undocumented Nisei /sarcasm.
The "Immigrants" are not immigrants; they are INVADERS! If the nationality of the "immigrants" were, for example, Chinese Communists flooding over our southern border would we be so politically correctly calling them "immigrants"?
No problem, glad you enjoyed it!
"Our government has abdicated it's responsibility."
Bingo! Abdication at a minimum. Anyone with half a brain can look down the road to see that this will lead to the end of the US as we know it. The Repubs are too gutless to do anything and the Rat party want it to happen because they think they can govern the rabble.
Unfortunatley real Americans are even more responsible because we are not in the streets by the millions, demanding an end to this madness.
Wait a minute, the month so far, is only 13 hours long :(
Some sleazebags were trying to furl their red-with-Azteca-crow flags discretely before getting close to the TV cameras.
It's obvious to me that a lot of poor, ignorant Mexicans are being recruited and manipulated by the communist fronts who want them to act as a 5th column.
But this is going to backfire in a big way: lots of people I know who never mention politics are really, really, really ticked.
