I was painting on a ladder in Hancock Park 2 blocks off of Wilshire, hundreds of the protesters had to walk by me on their way back and forth from their parked cars. The looks of sheepish embarassment on the men's faces was indescribable as I single-handedly laid to waste their collective lie about them doing the work that the gabacho will not do, and at a skill level that used to be the norm but is a completely lost art because of the Mexicanization of CA. It was particularly difficult for the men w/ their women and kids, I'm sure that their kids had some tough questions for them after that.

******* whale schit politicians.

Ah but they weren't Americans thought... well except for the high school kids ditching school.

I'm pretty sure they were all socialist.

I think Monday brought the magnitude of the situation to the forefront for many people. Also I think most people, including legal aliens and naturalized citizens, are just plain pissed that so many people are illegally here and may get benefits and/or citizenship for breaking the law. I also suspect people are really beginning to realize the extent to which our law makers and administrations have been f***ing the dog over the situation for so many years.
That added on to the corrupt goings on that have come to light in recent months, the deal with politicians adding on their (& their private special interests') self-serving amendments to bills at the last minute. Those take away money from defense (soldiers in the field), infrastucture, deserving social services, etc., etc. I'm getting more pissed as I think of it. It has to have gotten really bad when a local TV station editorial (as done this morning) tells people if they're fed up with it all to get off their duffs and vote the bums out of office. Only 27% of the registered voters around her voted in the last election.

Hell yes. For the love of Mike people, PLEASE send e-mails, faxes, letters or call your representatives in Washington D.C. and demand that they criminalize illegal immigration and oppose any "back door path" to citizenship. I figure the e-mail I sent to B. Boxter will get round-filed, but one never knows. Worth a shot anyway.

After all, isn't that what this is all about at its core? Belief in our system?

Using the words "back-door path" might be offensive to certain sexual orientations, I would advise against such language in letters to Congress...

You want pissed... I'm pissed!
I can't find a job that will pay my bills and these *******s come here demanding fair rights and leagalizaation. My state wasn't hit much but I'm still upset. Government and business' are so screwed up these days. Wages and costs of living are way out of wack. Sure these people work cheep but then live 5 families per 1500 sqft house. The american way is lost.. maybe forever. Screw 'em!!!! My father died for his country. His country is dead too. This isn't his country anymore, it's theirs!

Every headline I read, every network news story I watched, very carefully ommitted the word "illegal" when they covered this. It was an "immigrant protest". Do they really believe the American people are that gullible?

Yes, they know they are capable of manipulating the sheep very effectively. The number of Democrat voters proves the people are gullible and get their information from the nightly leftist news.

Mul, please, get it straight...it's not the "leftist news,", it's the "liberal media conglomerate."

Well, with respect to CNN, I would say that their intentional ommission of the word "illegal" is profit-based...both in TV land and radio land.
What else is new in this world where most pray at the alter of the $?

Lou Dobbs has been taking on this issue without omitting the "illegal" aspect of it.

"Back door path". LOL!

Didn't even think of that possible "alternate meaning". Hmmm. . . Maybe "circumvention of naturalization process"?

Yea, I just looooooooooooooooove how now all of a sudden "illegal" has become as bad as "nigger", "spick", "honky", "chink" or "gook". Illegal is I-L-L-E-G-A-L people! It's not a racial epithet, it's just calling a spade a spade. It IS friggin' illegal.

The P.C. types will be having us refer to all them landscapers as "economically-challenged undocumented laborer-refugees" before long.

I think I'm gonna' puke up my overpriced taco salad now.

How about "document-challenged?"
.
Lou Dobbs is a true American...his heart is concerned about America.
One of the few TV broadcasting personalities to have the courage to openly address and expose this debacle.
One can see the anguish/frustration on his face and in his speech.

He has been under attack by the Hispanic community for a couple of years now - labeled as xenophobic and racist.
