In fact, only 1 million people took part in the demonstrations nationally (half the number that was projected to take to the streets in LA alone). I think the vast majority of American's, with the exception of the most fiercely liberal, head-in-the-clouds Harvard kids who find it very easy to protest for amnesty for illegal aliens due to their not having to interact with them or deal with the problems they cause, are completely fed up with the pandering. In fact, there are several movements underway to schedule a "Day Without Citizens" protest on May 5, Cinco de Mayo. If 1 million illegal aliens taking the day off of work supposedly brought the economy to a standstill (I live in Las Vegas, and personally, I saw a lot of people out shopping, dining, gambling, partying, flying on airplanes and otherwise supporting the local economy at a rate as healthy as ever, and I didn't notice stock prices plummeting either), then what will 300 million legal workers walking off the job do? The problem is apathy. Americans need to make their voices be heard loudly and clearly instead of letting the tail wag the dog as it has for so many years now.

This will not solve the problem but rather add to it. I strongly appose our border policies and will drop my support for any party that will not address this problem. Democrats, Republicans and others. We need to stop our growing handouts my taxes are killing me. We are not a Socialist Country but seem to be moving in that direction.

They claim to be immigants but they are actually fighting for illegel alienism and protesting against the Immigrant Reform Bill that requires Mexican and other Hispanic Immigants to go through the same process as any other Immigrant. The last two protests slapped the faces of the American People when they flew flags of Mexico or El Salvador or anywhere else from Latin America. Besides, Illegal Aliens from Mexico are recieving more benefits than the American Citizen. Another slap in the face to the American People. I got shot at in Iraq for this?
