Immigrant Rights Groups Plan More Protests

I can't believe that immigrants, some of them who waited years to be admitted to this country legally, would march in support of those who ran our borders and now want citizens to pay for their health care, education, welfare, and our economy to provide them jobs.

I can't believe that illegal immigrants would actually fly their flag on our soil and expect me to sympathize with them. If they want to fly the Mexican Flag let them go back to their country and get free health care, education, welfare and jobs.

Hopefully there are no more American Citizens stabbed at future "rallys".

I wish everyone would take a step back and just look at the basic meaning of this issue. "Illegal Immigration". The key word here is "illegal". So your telling me that if all the cocaine and heroin dealers in this country got together and protested in washington that congress would eventually "give in" and legalize narcotics. No friggin way. Then why do we tolerate these protests on immigration? If the people that are participating in these protests are here illegally then they should be rounded up and deported. Simple.

Let's face it guys. We can yell and kick and scream about the injustice of illegal immigration all we want. The fact is, this country is turning into a cesspool full of weak, pansy-ass liberals who will gladly give "rights" to the illegals while the hard-working, tax-paying citizens are forced to dig deeper to pay, pay, pay for them! I've lost faith, fellas. My will seems broken.
Pretty soon (very soon actually) this country will be exactly like the countries the illegals have come from.

Now you know how we feel! We have thousands of illegals. Free health care,welfare and jobs. We can't even fly our flag. It would be politically incorrect and upset some one from another country who is an illegal here in UK. Might be against one of their personal freedoms of being illegal!
Good luck with your fight. It will be a uphill battle with your government.

"It is against the law to profit from a crime. A serial killer is not allowed to profit from a book or movie deal he would sell. A bank robber is not allowed to keep the money from the robbery. Why? Because how he got it was ILLEAGLE that is the operative word. If you are here ILLEAGLEY you should not profit from the crime of being ILLEAGL, you are not legal that is what it boils down too. And I don’t care what language you speak, I have visited others countries and tried to learn the basic's of the language. I didn’t expect them to know English. Go to Qubec Canada and see how far you get only speaking English they are some rude people.

one quick comment, sure people complain about immigrants and how we are so similar to "illegal" drugs. We are not here to harm anyone, we are just here to provide a better future for our families. "Go back to our country," sure we love our country but we are here because we dont have the same opportunities in our country. One question, who provides cheap labor, and does the nasty little jobs others wont do? Immigrants!!

Then become a legal immigrant, why live as an illegal.

Protests and demonstrations can continue but it's not going to change anything. I've heard these demonstrations being compared to the civil rights movements of the past. That comparison is incorrect because the African Americans of this country who were fighting for civil rights were legal AMERICAN citizens.
America is having a hard enough time providing health care to the millions of LEGAL citizens who are without health coverage. We have Legal citizens in this country who have to fight for every meal they eat. The last thing this country needs is to provide services to those who break the law by crossing our borders illegally.I say ship them back across the border, beef up border patrol and make these people immigrate legally or not at all. It's got to stop.

I have to keep the laws in this country. If I don't, I go to jail. I have to pay taxes. If I don't, I get fined and possibly go to jail. These 'interlopers' break the law by sneeking into the country illegally. Many don't pay taxes. They are getting away with what NO CITIZEN can get away with. They now have the gaul to publically show their faces and DEMAND they get treated like us! If they want to become citizens, they must understand that there are consequences to breaking the law. And yes, there are consequences for breaking the law by illegally entering our country. Therefore, like all other law breakers in this country, they deserve to be punished for what they have done. The government should "set an example" by publically punishing these law breakers. There needs to be deterrents and consequences for illegal activity.

Amen, Patriot! It seems that we are in the majority, that is, those who feel illegal immigration needs to be stopped rather than supported. Most of the major networks have polls which show the majority of legal Americans are against amnesty for illegal aliens. So why is there any question about whether or not they should have "rights"? I really don't get it. Why is this even an issue? Illegal means illegal. Period. I said it before and I'll say it again - very soon this country will be no better than the ones they have illegally immigrated from.

Did our president really address this rally in spanish?Did he really say we would have to get an interprater if we wanted to know what he said? I have heard he commited treason,how?

Wrong. Immigrants are living the good. They came here legally.
You must be refering to the illegals who are doing those jobs.

Quite frankly, that comment is so over played by all of the illegals. And unfortunately we have some ignorant americans who believe that too.

But trust me, illegal one, AMERICA will not crumble when all illegals are deported. Woking in some of the fields on the WEst Coast only fills the tables of a miniority area. You are not the backbone that keeps America. And neither are the illegal gardners, maids, bus boys, waitresses, etc. Those jobs do not offer a damn cent to our economy. You do not pay taxes on your wages. You do not pay property taxes. Sure you pay taxes when you buy food, gas, resturants. You can't escape those taxes, cause you can't buy'em under the table.

So don't even to try and pass that bull shit that, you add to our economy and you pay taxes.

Go back home and do it the legal way, like the way all the other immigrants have. And note, the word illegal is not in this paragraph.

My question is if everyone from Mexico is sneaking into America who is doing the jobs that went to Mexico?

Illegal is still illegal, no matter what. If you want to live in this country enter legally or be rounded up like cattle and sent back to where ever you can from. No exceptions. I'm tired of all the lost jobs and lost income,high insurance premiums the long lines at the hospitals and overcrowed schools, etc. It's time for all Legal Amercian's to take a stand and stop this problem before it gets out of hand. How much more are we going to take, before we say enough is enough?
Write your congressmen, start a rally supporting our laws. Do your part to make sure we tighten up our borders and take care of this problem once and for all.

Now I have learned a new thing,I didn't know that The UK was having a problem like this, I wish you luck with it, We dont seem to be able to get anything accomplished, either.

Then do it the right way, Legally. Thats all a lot of us want. Sure it takes more time and effort, but you wont have to worry about getting sent back. I dont have a problem with someone wanting to gat a better life, Its always been part of the American Dream.
