“Not everyone there was an illegal. As a matter of fact , more than 3/4 in attendance were legal Americans. Many were there for support and many just want to know the details just like you did when you decided to read the article.”

“It’s interesting to hear the right wingers get so upset by issues surrounding immigration yet rarely do you hear them reflect on the fact we are all illegal immigrants, except for Native Americans.

“Face it, as a nation we do not have the gonads to tackle this issue properly. I see a very simple and cost effective solution. Start by locking up those who employ illegals. If there are no jobs for these people then there is no need for them to come here.”
