No what I can't understand is why illegals are protesting this and demanding rights as though they have ANY rights. I don't understand where they get off. They demand that they get the same rights as legals who have worked for their citizenship. They aren't legals. They aren't supposed to be here and yet they are protesting and demanding rights. They need to realize that they have no rights and deserve no rights. They are stealing jobs and causing crime in a country that they are in illegally.

It was not just the illegals that were marching. I am a US born citizen and I marched and wore my white shirt. And although you who don't understand the cause  and don't think a point was made. I believe the govt. might think differently. Because many of us that marched are US citizens and we do Vote. And that is something that the govt. cares about. And we did protest in English and Spanish as many of us legal or illegal are bilingual. And I have read answers in the forum  were many people say to wait in line and do the paperwork to come to this country legally. Well obviously you don't know anything about coming to this country legally from another country.You cant just fill out paperwork. A few years back anyone could get a visitors Visa to come here but Mexico,central and south American countries were cut off. However, it seems like all other countries still have that type of Visa available. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I believe that is why they didn't join the protests. Some people are here illegally because their visitors Visa expired and they just stayed here. Others crossed the border with no questions asked by the border officials because they look "white". And countless amounts have crossed running and hiding and many have died just to come here. You have no idea what it's like. I can only begin to imageing the pain and desperation of leaving your family behind to find a better life. You don't understand that they look up to this country and then when they get here they are mistreated. The point is there never should have been a law that made it illegal for anyone to come to this country. Maybe just different policies or different requirements.

In denial!  They seem to think that it is quiet alright for them to commit a crime of being illegal.  The just do not understand exactly that being an illegal is committing a crime.  There is just no legal or common sense reasons why they want to illegally immigrate.  If their supporters are so into supporting them, why don't the supporters get together, financially, and help them better their lives in the country where they are from and not in this country as illegals.

Considering they are illegal, and not citizens, they have no rights and are not entitled to any freedoms in this country. Thusly, it is considered civil disobedience for them to protest. However, it would be considered profiling if law enforcement were to round up Hispanics in a protest, based on assumption of their legal status.

I'm guessing it may be a combination of ignorance, arrogance and a sense of entitlement.  When pressed, many of the illegals and their supporters openly admit that they consider the Southwestern US to be "occupied" territory, taken from Mexico.  This is simply a symptom of that view.

If they are illegal, they have no rights and should be deported. The protest is pointless.

Because chances are the person carrying the flag is an illegal who wants to keep Mexican citizenship but work in the US for all the financial advantages.  Demonstrations by illegals should be dispersed by riot police and the participants arrested, and the Mexican flags burned.  Their arrogant ways and demands for the right to steal from American taxpayers is an affront to every US citizen.  There should be no tolerance at all for these Mexican flag-wavers.  The problem is only going to get worse.\n\nAnd continued incursions into the US by the Mexican Army should be met by a declaration of war.

Well, they can't sat SH*T to me. I'm American...of Mexican blood...and I think all illegals need to stop complaining, go home, and not come back here until they're legal. They hurt regular Americans by taking jobs that would otherwise offer decent wages to those with less education or those who just prefer to work with their hands instead of sitting behind a desk.

I agree. Wouldn't it have been a lot more beneficial for the illegals to have gathered in protest of the Mexican government than in protest of the American government?  I would imagine that if the "demonstrations" where aimed at the Mexican government..the illegals would have the total support of the American people. In essence, they would have been asking for the backing of Americans instead of demanding something that they don't deserve. It was a colossal mis judgment on the part of the organizers.

You got a point there. People are so caught up into trying to get "illegals" out that they don't even think about the impact that may come. Better yet, a MEXICAN ILLEGAL who went to Iraq just got honored with the 3rd highest ranking medal a MARINE can get for saving fellow soldiers at war while he was wounded. How come no one protests about that? How come these racist hicks don't go to war since they love their country so much? why don't they die for it?

If you noticed, there were less Mexican flags flying during these protests (even though there were MANY) because the organizers (la raza) were getting them to give them their Mexican flags, and giving them American flags to wave during the march. In other words, they were trying to hide what they are really all about. They didn't want all of America to see all those Mexican flags, because they know that there will be massive backlash, like there had been previously. These organizers are not stupid. They are spin wizards and they are going to try and dress this up to look harmless. If they hadn't interceded you would have seen nothing but Mexican flags, because that is where the hearts of these protesters truly lies - in Mexico. I say send them AND their flags back to Mexico! Adios!

Well...let's look at their protest in May that hurt them more than it helped their "cause."  There were Mexican flags, signs in Spanish and there were more demands for rights that they don't have.  They made untrue claims that they were Native American (what a joke) insinuating North American Indian.  They were giving America and Americans the one finger salute, they refuse to learn OUR language.  \n\nThey continue to make up what they believe to be facts, as if they can change history like the Southwest was stolen from them.  They disrespect us in OUR country while getting all of the handouts that they don't pay into.  I think that it's simple.  They want America but don't want to be Americans.  We don't want them here anyway.

Why cook at home when you can go next door and get a "smorgasbord"?\n I've asked that very question many times.If the people of Mexico would make a stand against the way their country is being run instead of running away from it they could do a lot. If they would put as much energy into THAT cause as they do to the cause of illegally entering another country, they would be much better off in the future. Eventually they would be proud to be the generation that fought the corrupt leaders, changed their country for the better. Their future generations would be proud of their ancestors. The USA can't keep spending billions each year on illegal immigrants and then turn around and also spend billions on helping Mexico. If the illegal immigrants would go home, then maybe the USA could put those billions into helping Mexico instead of doling out food stamps and welfare to the illegal Mexicans in the USA. Please don't harp on the fact all illegal immigrants aren't Mexican, I know that. But, right now I am talking about the Mexican illegal immigrant. They are the ones from Mexico. That is the country that borders the USA. That is the country that has MOST of the illegal immigrants in the USA. The other illegal immigrants need to do the same thing in their countries. If all those illegal Mexican immigrants that protested against the USA and all the people who support them went to Mexico City and protested along with the citizens of Mexico who stand with them, they would have a BIG voice!! They can make a difference. Protesting here in the USA only makes U.S.Americans angry. They are not legal citizens, they don't have the rights of citizens, and they only make it worse by protesting.

isn't that what they are doing...in a clip mexican protesters were talking about having infantry...mexico has been educating it's citizens on how to swim across the border. so why wouldn't mexico want them to fight to stay here....it will happen if usa starts deporting!!! ppl need to wake up and realize that there is an invasion of usa!!!
