Tens of thousands of protestors took to the streets of D.C. as coordinated protests took place across the country against Congress' efforts to address illegal immigration."La Marcha" as it was called was a rally for "immigration rights." It's hard to maintain that anyone has a right to violate U.S. laws. Although their signs and speeches were mostly in Spanish crowds were non-violent and most took care not to antagonize law-abiding Americans by waving Mexican flags in their faces.
A survey taken by the Family Reasearch council shows that people are very concerned about the illegal immigration issue. Protecting human life from abortion stills registers a No.1 concern (44 percent), followed by judicial activism (25 percent), protecting marriage (21 percent) and stopping illegal immigration (18 percent).
There is little question in the minds of Values Voters, as well as Americans at large, about how to address the issue of illegal immigration: Strong border security (81 percent). By a lop-sided margin of 91 to 9 percent, the survey respondents said illegal immigrants should be treated humanely but should be detected, arrested, and returned to their country of origin. Respondents also agreed (78 percent) that official election ballots should be printed in English only.
Party activists used the crowds to register voters. Knowing that thousands of rally participants are illegally in the U.S., these activists are deliberately setting up election day challenges. Then, of course, they will scream racism. I leave it to your imagination which party that was. Some of yesterday's marchers carried No barreras (No barriers) signs. That demand effectively would end the sovereignty of the United States. Five years after 9/11, it is intolerable that America's borders are so porous.
