Tens of thousands of people pressing for immigrants’ rights demonstrated on Tuesday in dozens of cities. But with advocates splintered over tactics, the crowds paled in comparison with the turnout last year.
The demonstrations seemed to underscore how much the protest movement has struggled in the last year. More than 500,000 people turned out in Los Angeles last year. This year, the police estimated that 25,000 attended the largest of three rallies.
In Denver, where 75,000 people participated last year, an estimated 10,000 demonstrated, organizers said. The police put the number at no more than 2,000.
Unlike the protest last year, nobody called for a “day without an immigrant.” No widespread business boycotts materialized. For the most part, students did not pour out of schools.
Americans are tired of the phony rhetoric of politicians trying to profit from illegal immigrants. Republicans and their corporate string-pullers want cheap labor. Democrats and their ward-heelers want cheap and grateful voters. Both parties suck!
The “movement” of illegals was doomed to failure from the beginning. Essentially, it only has Mexican nationalism providing core support. The good will and natural sympathy of Americans for the poor and unfortunate provided some political support. None of this can overcome the ennui of a nation tired of hypocrites justifying scab labor and the absurdity of yet another amnesty for law-breakers.
You don’t make anything better by adding 30 million Mexicans to it.
SOLUTION: First we seal the border with gates opening to the south(one way). Second,we penalize those who employ them(not token fines). Third,we deny any benefits other than what is nessesary to get them back to the border(bus ride,food and water). It’s not that difficult if you’re not politically correct. The ROI will be soon reailzed
You don’t make anything better by adding 30 million Mexicans to it. Mexicans make Mexico.
Another boondoggle from our elected officials. Yes, both parties do suck. I have begun calling these guys “democans” or ‘republicrats” because there isn’t any distinguishable differences between them. The whole system has been perverted by greed all of these politicians are in it for themselves and they only give lipservice to their constituents. Do you hear that Congressman Westmoreland you suck like the rest of them!!!!!!!!!
Deport them all and make welfare recipients pick the tomatoes. Those that can work but will not work should not eat!!! Lots of homeless folks that could pick the fruit.
Illegal aliens who:
1. won’t work to make their county better can’t be expected to work to make our country better.
2. are willing to break our laws to get here can’t be expected to obey our laws while they are here.
3. are unwilling to learn our language can’t be expected to love our country as those who do.
Now specifically addressing mexican illegals. If mexicans are not patriotic enough to make their country better, then why should I want them here? They should go back to mexico and protest where they will do some good.
I highly recommend the independent documentary film “A Line In The Sand”.
If you can watch this film and not be outraged at the state of our southern border, you are either a Mexican or dead.
If all the illegal mexicans are so hard working why is it that mexico is so poor?
I actually took the time to read through all of the previous comments. For point and personal amusement, I grabbed some quotes. The point that, I figure, everyone is missing is that people who leave one place want to be in another place, for whatever reason. I have yet to meet an illegal immagrant from Norway or Denmark, but I’m sure there are one or two.
(to get to the point, scroll to the bottom of this comment, otherwise, read on.)
You know those lines on the map. They are from a time when we, as a whole, didn’t get it. You can call it tribal, or class warfare,or secularism versus religion…
Whatever you want.
Stop being stupid.
People with money do not care about you at all.
If I had money like that, I wouldn’t have given this thread a second thought.
In another two years or so, at the current pace, 75% of U.S. wealth will be in the hands of about 1% of the U.S. population.
Instead of sweating an illegal immegrant, how about you start working with them.
Get to know them. Say hello. Let them know what time it is in the United States.
You, and the people of your community, are responsible for your community. Handle your business.
The biggest problem I have seen in this country, as of late, is that we have become a country of cowards, unable to handle what needs to be taken care of when it matters.
At the same time, we have allowed the stupidest people we got to lead the charge to the end of empire.
Here is the curious part, and the wrap up.
People with an assload of money do not see borders. They do, however, pray upon the dumbasses that do.
Here are the quotes that I wanted to touch upon and my responses:
“And finally, corruption is pandemic in Mexico. Nearly every deal requires what’s called “la mordida” (the bite). Bribery is not only commonplace, it is essential to get anything done because of the lack of social justice in that country.”
Have you missed the last 7 years? I’m just saying.
“White people had better start thinking about life as a minority in this country. ”
You’re a minority already. Suck it up. I recommend you move and buy some books to smarten up. I will not go into this here, but have you ever heard of , I don’t know, Asia? India? You are a worldwide minority. You got lucky in that your ancestors had better guns.
“My great-grandparents did not leave Ireland for Mexico, but it looks like that’s where the U.S. is heading…”
They could have done us all a favor by doing so. I don’t know about you, but I would not have minded being brought up in a sunny and warm climate. The winters up here get brutal.
“If I say who it is, you will never see this post. All I’ll say is find out who ultimately controls the western world’s media empire and look for a common denominator.”
I can only assume he means Jewish people. They worked hard as a community and took over a very profitable industry. Whaa whaa. I recommend you work hard at finding the next great place to stake your claim. Being angry at hebrews for taking Hollywood is alot like being angry at central europeans taking over the Northern Central part of the United States. Same rules apply…
Ignore them and they will no longer be an issue.
Throw out your TV and stop going to movies. Convince everyone else you know to do the same.
Good luck.
And this gem…
“White America better decide if they want to live in Mexico or not, because Mexico is coming.”
How about we take care of our own house. Illegal immagrants will always come here. As long as we protect the freedoms that gave them a reason to hope that they would be able to find a better life here, they will come. The northeast is loaded full of Irish illegal immagrants. Do you have a problem with them? All or none.
That’s all I got. I work a job that most people would never do, but it is high end and only done by people like me. Not an immagrant, just a guy that has found that borders don’t mean shit, except to the petty, small-minded and those unwilling to except that it should have always been.
If we do not start looking out for the people coming into this country to do the lowest paying jobs, then we might as well kiss off any possiblity of being anything more that surfs to those that got lucky by birth.
Those of us not lucky enough to be born rich need to get it together to make sure that our children never have to sweat it as hard as those of us that weren’t. It’s our responsibility to set things right.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be beholden to the likes of Paris Hilton. I don’t want that for my children either.

Illegal immigrants need to go back to their country of origin. There shouldn’t even be a debate on this issue: if you come over uninvited we have the right to tell you to leave!
I am surprised how many Americans have taken a pussified stance on this issue. Why are you guys so afraid to fight for your country? You know it’s not right what illegals are doing, but you’re so afraid to fight, that you’re letting them take our country. This is lunacy! Stand up you bunch of chumps!
Trust me, I’m from Los Angeles (the epicenter of illegal immigration). Illegals are here to conquer the country…they don’t want to be our friends or be Americans…They want our white asses out of here (ever heard of Aztlan?).
These people are hostile. All you White sympathizers should move your families out to Los Angeles if you want to experience life in a Latino community,,,you’ll hate it!
I’m fighting to save the rest of the country from the mess of California. Trust me guys-YOU DON’T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO YOUR COMMUNITY!! You won’t realize how important it is to keep this country white until it’s gone. I grew up not caring about having white neighbors, but now that all the whites have bailed on California I’m looking to leave too, because I’m tired of being hated for simply having fair skin. Wake up America, save yourselves from illegals! You’ve been warned!
“All or none,” quoth “Mezic” – philosophically and politically, a “high-end” apologist and proponent of third-world invasion and thievery to “dumbasses” of European descent.
All or none, eh?
1. If all men are my brother, then I have no brothers.
2. If all women are my sister, then I have no sisters.
3. If all women are my wife, then I have no wife.
4. If all children are my children, then I have no children.
5. If all families are my family, then I have no family.
6. If all people are my kin, then I have no kin.
7. If all homes are my home, then I have no home.
8. If all communities are my community, then I have no community.
9. If all nations are my nation, then I have no nation.
All or none, indeed!
I felt helpless to fight illegal immigration, which destroyed my life in California, as English became a second language in my community.
Then I joined powerful grassroots organizations such as numbersusa.com and fairus.org. We flood Congress with faxes
and phone calls, and have the power to stop amnesties!
Join our patriotic army!
If Amerikwa was a real nation, these mexcrement invaders would be hunted down like the dogs they are. Instead, we tolerate rule by the oligarchy who wants them here to drive down our wages and destroy our culture. Perhaps the only way to solve this problem is to get rid of the oligarchy first then we can deal with the immigrunts.
Its sooo sad to see my childhood neighborhood turn into a mexico here in Garland Tx, And cant find a school for my kids close by because of all the anchor baby’s crowding them.
