Because if you try and stand up for your Country and stop them from having a voice you are called raciest \n( wait that only happens in America )\nBut then why not have all these law breaker have a voice after all most of the law breakers have kids here because as we know even though they are illegal if they can make it here in time to have the child in the U.S the child for some odd reason becomes an American\nAgain awarded for an illegal act.\nThe only voice we should hear is from behind bars or from behind the fence across the borders\n\nNo other Country do illegal get a voice let alone able to walk the streets in protest against your laws

Are you Irish, by any chance? ;-)\nI'm only asking because the exact same pattern is universal here.\nPeople are too cowardly to stand up for their rights, and then they blame the person with enough guts for any repercussions, real or imagined, that might ensue from a complaint.\nI do think that a large part of it is the embarassment that they were not able to do it themselves.\n\nGermans and French complain all the time, no such problems there.

According to a recent report on BBC TV it seems that some of them are facing having to leave the country as they do not have 'permanent leave to remain' on any basis other than their work. If the work permit is taken away (as it has apparently been in some cases) they may face deportation. \n\nHowever there are certainly protests being held, and the situation may change as the morality and legality, not to say lack of 'joined-up government', of the politicians' actions is challenged.

If you look at the statistics, the majority of illegal immigrants who are putting a strain on our reasources are Hispanics....and they are the first to protest that they aren't "getting enough rights."  Pathetic.  The majority make no effort to learn our language or our culture, they have been tearing down our flag and replacing it with theirs, and they are DOWNRIGHT RUDE.  Canada has always been a gret resource for the United States and the people who come from up north generally are friendly and make an effort to embrace our country.  On another note.....\n\nWe are closing our borders to terrorists and illegal immigrants on July 4th, and everyone everywhere can help! If you are interested or would like to participate, please visit our website for more information: http://www.getmycountryback.com... \n\nPlease help spread the word, tell a friend!!!!!!

I don't think illegals of other nationalities realize that Mexican illegals are only protesting for other Mexican illegals.\nIt seems they care only for themselves. Not their host country or their country of origin.

Immigrants "in general" don't suffer from humiliation or ingnorance from Americans.\n\nEntering a country without following the legal procedures OF that country's LAWS is much more serious than throwing paper on the sidewalk or running a red light. Once a person enters the country illegally that is only the beginning of the string of OTHER laws they break. Everything they do from that day forward is ILLEGAL. They must use a fake, forged, stolen or 'rented' ID to get ANYTHING. They use those ID's to get a Drivers license, a job, housing and abuse our federal assistance by getting AFDC, food stamps, section 8 housing, social security, etc.  Those people are not 'starving', they aren't coming here to just 'feed their families'.  They have other plans and it is not so  peaceful and innocent. \n\nThe don't get respect from Americans because they ARE here illegally.\n\nThey suck up billion$ in federal aid.\n\nThey disrespect our laws and flew our flag upside down beneath theirs.\n\nThey reap what they sow.\n\nThey should be deported, ASAP!\n\nYes, we are all human and we all work and are tired at the end of the day working for our families. We are doing it the country in which we are citizens and we are paying TAXES from those paychecks to support ILLEGAL immigrants who do not pay taxes, use OUR taxpaid assistance and are NOT EVEN CITIZENS of our country.\n\nIt's not ignorance nor humiliation they get from us. \n\nIt's RESENTMENT!\n\n We resent the fact we support the illegals who are not citizens of our country, we resent the way they claim they 'do jobs Americans won't do'..for slave wages, we resent the fact that the wages of our poorest, low skilled Americans wages have been depressed to 3rd world status.

Sorry, just because people protest does not make them violent.  Why would they take up arms and damage the economy that provides work for them.

That would have been difficult, if not impossible. First, those demonstrations were in many different cities. Second, it's against the law to use the Army for police work (because of the posse comitatus act). Most importantly, though, many of those protesting were not immigrants. Some, many, were U.S. citizens protesting on the behalf of the immigrants. They're not required to carry proof of citizenship on them. so sorting them from the illegal immigrants would have been impossible. But even if all of those other things were not true, it would have been politically disastrous to round up mass quantities of people behving in an orderly manner.

Both ILLEGAL immigration and FOREIGN INVASION!!  These people were marching in our streets demanding that we give them the same rights as everyone who came here through the LEGAL channels.  Don't you guys see something wrong with this picture??  There is a war going on here at home and people need to wake up to the truth before it gets out of hand.  Yes it is a WAR pro-ILLEGAL immigration supporters have already stated as much.  FOREIGN INVASION?  ABSOLUTELY!!  They have already proven a willingness to disregard our laws and are marching in the streets waving MEXICAN flags.  You can't tell me that's not an invasion of America.  Wake up and smell the roses people.  We can't nor do we have the responsibility to take in and support everyone who wants to immigrate here which is why we have immigration laws already on the books.  I'm sorry that their countries are so hard up but that IS NOT our fault.  Their countries were based on immigration too (Spanish Conquistadors, duh) and they've had A LOT of the SAME opportunities that our forefathers had.  It IS NOT our fault that they didn't use them!  Oh, and I don't have a swastika as I don't see this as a racial issue but a LEGAL issue.  If those of you saying that we're all racist for not wanting CRIMINALS here then you need to get a dictionary and look the meaning of racism up.  I'm not discriminating based on anything other than that they are here ILLEGALLY, REGARDLESS of their reasons and therefore according to the laws already on the books and in effect are supposed to be deported!!  EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY has its own immigration laws.  Why is America made into the bad guys for wanting theirs enforced, when the other countries are enforcing theirs???

You're wasting your time mate. People, especially AMERICANS like to have their little 'moral panics' (whipped up by the right wing media and the government) it takes their tiny minds away from all the REAL problems, i.e:\n\ntrillions of pounds (oops DOLLARS) in debt, \na crap economy, \na nutter in charge \nthe rest of the world hating you. \n\nNo matter what figure you come up with they'll shout 'liberal lies'. The bottom line is people like a legitimate target for their hatred and right now Mexican immigrants fit the bill. And as for all this 'i only have a problem with illegals' THAT has to be the biggest pile of crap that ive ever read on here and that's saying something!!

its not that they don't understand the word it is that many of them don't even know what they are fighting for. many of them just do it to have something to go against in this country. if they would take time to read the constitution and this countries laws i doubt there would be many supporters. i myself am Cuban, but the thing is that its not just the Mexicans that are immigrants and that's what they are playing it off as, and that really chaps a lot of peoples "asses." excuse the language but it truly isn't fair. i don't think anyone should be marching for anything unless they have facts to support what they are marching for. i bet if you asked every single one of them why they are marching they either wouldn't know or they would say for rights, and if you asked them what rights they would look at you with a blank expression. therefore its a matter of being educated.

why are they protesting at all...its rediculous. if they don't like our laws, but want to work in this country without obbeying those laws, they can just take thier asses right back across the border where they came from. what if we did that in thier country, took thier jobs but didn't pay taxes or get legal citizenship, you think they would let it fly? hell no...

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.

Great question.  I agree with you.  Mexicans were allowed to protest and NO ONE tried to stop them but the Minutemen assembled PEACEFULLY and they were threatened and abused.  Hmmm a little strange.  In Arizona, a mexican national raised his mexican flag above an American flag on GOVERNMENT property.  An American student took it down and burned it.  Here is my issue: the white kid is in trouble.  BUT hanging another country's flag above an American flag on GOVERNMENT property is an ACT OF WAR.  But the mexi isn't in trouble.  hmmmmmmmm I think we should react appropriately

To come here ILLEGALLY and then make demands is utterly presumptuous, especially if no attempt is being made to acclimate into our existing culture.   Would you expect anything OTHER than a backlash to that?  How rude!
