Wow.. I dont know how this slipped by me. I was under the impression that yesterdays organized march was being performed by the millions of LEGAL immigrants here in the U.S. I never gave this organized march another thought since their strike and protest is protected by the constitution here... stand up and fight.. protest, speak out! Its what makes us Americans... right?

However today I find out that this march was made up of mostly immigrants that are here ILLEGALLY. AP quote:
"More than 1 million illegal immigrants and their supporters agreed Monday. From Los Angeles to Chicago, Houston to Miami, a "Day Without Immigrants" meant a day boycotting work and school in favor of rallies and marches that clogged city streets for miles."

Wow..illegals?! How can they do this.. they arent even here.. um.. legally! As if this isnt bad enough, in the articles from the New York Sun, several illegals interviewed compared their march to the 1960's marches by black movement groups. AP quote: Mr Santos likened the effort to the civil rights campaigns of American blacks in the 1960s."I don't know why people are afraid to come out and support it," he said. "We know what was done to the African Americans and know that the boycott works, especially when we have so much influence in terms of purchasing power."

OMFG....What?! How can they possibly compare these illegal marches to the civil rights marches of the mid 60s? If I were one of those who marched in the 60's civil rights movements then this entire illegal immigrant march would be a major... MAJOR slap in the face to me. The two cannot even be compared by anything.

One of the protestors goes on to say: AP Quote: For Mr. Santos, who usually irons at a Flatbush dry cleaner, where the temperature often reaches more than 90 degrees, "The people who drop off their clothes in a hurry, asking for a one-day turnaround, they don't realize that while they're sitting in the air-conditioned office, we're doing the work," said Mr. Santos, who said that while he works six days a week, he earns $400 a month with no insurance.

Uh.. ok so you're mad at those business types whom are dropping off their clothes for you to clean and you're upset that you dont make the same kind of money that they are making? Wow.. we have a serious problem at hand if these people suddenly feel that they are entitled to making the same kind of money someone else makes.. JUST because they are living here in the U.S. First things first.. GET LEGAL, LEARN ENGLISH, GO TO SCHOOL LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES AND EARN WHATEVER MONEY YOU LIKE! You are NOT entitled to money simply because you come to the U.S. Jesus fucking christ.. what is happening here?!?

Even more amazing throughout the article are the businesses that claim they are suffering major losses due to this walkout: AP quote: "Tyson Foods Inc., the world's largest meat producer, shuttered about a dozen of its more than 100 plants. Eight of 14 Perdue Farms chicken plants also closed for the day. The rallies shut down 29 branches of Chipotle Mexican Grill, a Denver-based fast-casual dining chain. Goya Foods, which bills itself as the nation's largest Hispanic-owned food chain, suspended delivery everywhere except Florida in what the company called a gesture of solidarity. In the Los Angeles area, many restaurants and markets were dark and truck traffic at the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach - the nation's busiest - was off 90 percent, said spokeswoman Theresa Adams Lopez."

Uh.... I think any business who's been this affected by this march of illegal immigrants should be investigated by the INS immediately....how can they be employing these people with no Social Security number? Couldnt hiring non-american citizens be punished as treason? Anyone remember the hell that the Clinton's took many years ago when they found out that they had accidentally hired an illegal immigrant housekeeper? Why isnt anyone complaining about all these companies and businesses that have hired these bastards illegally? hrm?

Im in full agreeance with ANY groups right to protest, speak out, march, organize and bring attention to their agendas....thats what makes the Unites States THE United States. But when we allow, endorse and accept non-american citizens to hold protests within our own walls, we have a serious, serious problem upcoming.
