This is one of my favorite parts:
In Houston the marchers went by this:

"Among law enforcement officers standing by a federal building where the demonstrators gathered were some wearing shirts and gear with the logo ICE, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement"

These folks in Houston, a huge city, managed only 3 or 4 hundred folks to march..

Victor Ibarra, 38 an illegal who came here 15 years ago said:

"I need some freedom," he said, wearing handcuffs and chains and carrying a sign that said in Spanish: "We don't have freedom"..

Victor Ibarra, 38 <-----> ICE
He is the one wearing handcuffs already how much easier could it be?

These parasites sneak into our country, then demand their "rights?" They say we are "tearing families apart." HELLO! They made the conscious decision to leave their family behind, so just who is "tearing families apart?"

Once they are here, they demand their "rights", march through our streets waiving the flags of their homeland, accuse us of breaking families apart, and demanding that they be granted amnesty. What nerve! What ignorance!

The Mexican president "demands" that we reward his illegals with citizenship; the Prime Minister of Ireland "begs" congress to grant amnesty to 150,000 illegal Irishmen. NO, NO, NO! HELL NO! Send 'em all back where they came from. We can't grant citizenship and provide for every foreigner who "wants a better life." The quality of life in this country is already on a downward spiral; we don't need to bottom out any sooner.

Astonishing. They need some freedom? From what? It's not as if the laws regarding their presence have even been enforced. There's this assumption that because they've disregarded the law this long they are simply above the law.

ICE should be at all rallies that are held for illegal immigrants flying their Mexican flag. It fair to say that not many of them are showing up anymore like they did a couple of years ago. May they be getting the message that they are not needed nor wanted in the US?

Sorry, but at least in my state, ICE cant do that.Its "illegal" to ask citizenship of anybody just on the street. This fight isnt over, it will restart after the elections, be ready and read the fine print in any bill about amnesty, last bill hillary had a family reunification plan in that one. Every illegal made legal could sponsor 40 family members to come on over.

The parasites go back as far as 20,000 years ago.

Port Lavaca, you must continue fighting against illegals. Write to your elected representatives demanding that they vote against comprehensive illegal reform. That simply means granting illegal status to illegals living here. Keep up the good work. It is more than i can say about palacios and victoria.

Let's all be Honest here- these protests are simply for the following reason-
1-they do not want to be deported
2- they want access to Welfare
3- they do not want to have to pay Taxes
4- they want to Vote
5- they want everyone to Adapt to THIER language and Culture and NOT assimilate to that of the USA
6-If they Violate the Law - they want to be able to run to Mexico, or wherever else and not have to face Jail time
7- If you even DARE to walk by them , they want you prosecuted or Demonized for being "Anti Mexican or Anti XYZ wherever they came friom
6- They want this to Be Mexico

that pretty much sums up the "Pro Illegal" platfornm

They also want chain migration..their brother's sisters aunt to come here legally once they are here. <sarcasm but may not be far from the real chain migration if we really calculate who gets to come> Family is so important to them... that is why even the President of Mexico has admitted to having family here illegally.. laughs and says when "comprehensive Immigration Reform is passed" he will tell everyone who his family members here illegally are. The creep, doesn't care enough to keep his own b-i-l in Mexico.. and I guess Calderon's own sister is here with him.. and maybe some anchor babies too.

Have you seen the video Anchor Baby Power?

be sure to listen to the end or fast forward, hear what the professor has to say . Please let me know what you think..

Lets not forget the Universal Health care or any health care plan all three have to offer includes the illegals.

John, yes they also believe this is their land, so they think all the 'goodies' are just the tip of the iceburg for "what they are owed by all the hard working citizens of this nation."

TRUER WORDS WERE NEVER SPOKEN. Everything you posted is 1000% correct! Illegals want to call the shots in this country.

Illegal aliens now own a large part of the United States. We (citizens of the United States) should have our balls cut off for not stopping them. But it looks like it's too late now to stop illegal aliens. Do you suppose they will now cut our ball off without hesitation?
