		<description>Here in Houston, if the local/national media hadn't told us, we'd have never known there was an illegal alien protest going on.  And life went on pretty much as usual around here...

The one nice thing about the protest was that it took most of the uninsured drivers off the roads for a day!

And I agree with the "boycott Mexico/Mexican products" idea.  I for one would rather travel to Montreal than Cancun.  At least we've got Stephen Harper, Canada's PM, on our side!

Regards,
Peter H.

PS - Anderson Cooper is such a pouf.  Open his mouth and a purse falls out.  Just my opinion.</description>

		<description>Gryph, my comment that illegal aliens don't have rights was in the context of what the illegal aliens out on the streets were saying: that they have rights to be heard by Congress, to have citizenship and so forth.  No they don't!

No foreigner has a "right" to American citizenship. It is a privilege this country decides to offer to those who wait their turns and work their way through a process established by law.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fine, Gryph. Let illegal immigration become a criminal act worthy of imprisonment, and they can have all the free medical care they want. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It already is, its just not enforced.

And I did NOT say that illegals should get free educations or job benefits etc.  And I'm not proposing free boob jobs for illegals either.

But if someone is sick or injured and in pain I think you have a moral obligation to help them. Even if its not "life-threatening".

Human "rights" and the privileges of American citizenship are not always the same things.  Human rights are for everybody, not just Americans.</description>

Nope, illegals don't have rights. But &lt;em&gt;people&lt;/em&gt; do. Whether illegal or not. Even prisoners are entitled to medical care, etc.

I didn't attend, but the LA march was terrific, in the sense that it seemed to dramatically cut traffic on the freeways.  It was nice not having to spend 3 hours in my car yesterday.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Lou Dobbs gets it right: Who is really behind the immigration protests?...&lt;/strong&gt;

I am not a huge fan of his, but regardless of how I may or may not agree with him on other issues, on this one he makes sense.
Read it for yourself.&#160; I have very little to add.

		<description>AGJ, thanks for the pics from the park and reporting on the DC rally.

Here in Michigan we had less than 130 people from a local Hispanic Catholic Church parish show up on the steps of Capitol building and try to highlight the plight of legal immigrants and workers trying to get citizenship, visas, reuniting families, fair wages, etc.  But it felt more like the proverbial Catholic "social justice" event than a boycott to end American hegemony of Hispanics.  Still, better that than the boycott protest of illegal aliens trying to jump to the head of the line over legal, legit immigrant workers.

I love the MSM covering this story ---it's all about heart wrenching facial anguish of Anderson Cooper while telling of the plight of poor illegal workers seeking medical care and hospitals unable to shoulder the financial burden of the inevitable non-payment for services... even though the feds reimburse hospitals up to 65% of costs.  Little vignettes into the plight of illegal workers... I wonder when we'll get the stories of sexually abusive white bosses, slave labor sweat shops, and children held hostage in servitude so that Americans can have pretty, manicured lawns?  What is it with the BlameAmericaFirst crowd?

BTW, the local Democrat county party folks had a voter registration desk set up nearby the Lansing rally.  Gotta love that solidarity.</description>

		<description>Oh how I miss that little strip of land on 16th Street.  Reporting from the CA, passing by the scarcely attended protest at Concord's Todos Santos Plaza, the one thought I had protest sure aren't what they used to be.  I figured my usual lunchtime burrito joint would be closed - something tells me the employees are half legal and half of questionable status - didn't see them.  Headed back to work, sure enough the joint was closed.  Taken as a whole, it made me wonder if this was just a way to take a day off.

Just an observation, at least here in Concord, except for the kill the HR Bill all the signs were in Spanish.  Really, if you want to talk to an American speak to him in a language that he can easily understand - English comes to mind.</description>

		<description>The only protest I saw was full of Mexican flags, portraits of Cuban Communist Che, A.N.S.W.E.R. signs demanding amnesty, signs insisting "We Have Rights!", signs calling President Bush a "liar" and "war monger", and lots of kids truant from school.

Sorry, folks, illegals don't have rights.  And the kids ought to be in school learning English, American history -- including that we are a nation of laws!</description>
