Mar 25, 2:15 AM EST Immigration Rallies Draw Thousands Nationwide By TIM MOLLOY Associated Press Writer AP Photo/ROY DABNER More U.S. Video LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Thousands of people across the country protested Friday against legislation cracking down on illegal immigrants, with demonstrators in such cities as Los Angeles, Phoenix and Atlanta staging school walkouts, marches and work stoppages. Congress is considering bills that would make it a felony to be illegally in the United States, impose new penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants and erect fences along one-third of the U.S.-Mexican border. The proposals have angered many Hispanics. The Los Angeles demonstration led to fights between black and Hispanic students at one high school, but the protests were largely peaceful, authorities said. Chantal Mason, a sophomore at George Washington Preparatory High, said black students jumped Hispanic students as they left classes to protest a bill passed the House in December that would make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally. Advertisement "It was horrible, horrible," Mason said. "It's ridiculous that a bunch of black students would jump on Latinos like that, knowing they're trying to get their freedom." In Phoenix, police said 10,000 demonstrators marched to the office of Republican Sen. Jon Kyl, co-sponsor of a bill that would give illegal immigrants up to five years to leave the country. The turnout clogged a major thoroughfare. "They're here for the American Dream," said Malissa Greer, 29, who joined a crowd estimated by police to be at least 10,000 strong. "God created all of us. He's not a God of the United States, he's a God of the world." Kyl had no immediate comment on the rally.

Hundreds of the students, some carrying Mexican flags, walked down the middle of Los Angeles streets, police cruisers behind them. The students visited two other area high schools, trying to encourage students to join their protest, but the schools were locked down to keep students from leaving, said Los Angeles district spokeswoman Monica Carazo. In Georgia, activists said tens of thousands of workers did not show up at their jobs Friday after calls for a work stoppage to protest a bill passed by the Georgia House on Thursday. That bill, which has yet to gain Senate approval, would deny state services to adults living in the U.S. illegally and impose a 5 percent surcharge on wire transfers from illegal immigrants. Supporters say the Georgia measure is vital to homeland security and frees up limited state services for people legally entitled to them. Opponents say it unfairly targets workers meeting the demands of some of the state's largest industries. Teodoro Maus, an organizer of the Georgia protest, estimated as many as 80,000 Hispanics did not show up for work. About 200 converged on the steps of the Georgia Capitol, some wrapped in Mexican flags and holding signs reading: "Don't panic, we're Hispanic" and "We have a dream, too." Jennifer Garcia worried what would the proposal would do to her family. She said her husband is an illegal Mexican immigrant. "If they send him back to Mexico, who's going to take care of them and me?" Garcia said of herself and her four children. "This is the United States. We need to come together and be a whole." On Thursday, thousands of people filled the streets of Milwaukee for what was billed as "A Day Without Latinos" to protest efforts in Congress to target undocumented workers. Police estimated more than 10,000 people joined the demonstrations and march to downtown Milwaukee. Organizers put the number at 30,000.

Criminals just hate being called criminals.
Why should we hear about body bags, and deaths...I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that? ~Barbara Bush on ABC's "Good Morning America," March 18, 2003.
Great quote from a former President: ”We have room but for one flag... We have room but for one language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty, and that is the loyality to the American people.” - Theodore Roosevelt
That would make a good tagline.
”We have room but for one flag... We have room but for one language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty, and that is the loyality to the American people.” - Theodore Roosevelt
But only if you're a jew. Everyone else would be labeled as xenophobic, racist, anti-semitic, un-American, blah, blah, blah...
Diversity in Israel is whether one is Orthodox or Conservative. I like the lastest conspiracy, that Morris Dees (SPLC) may be behind the recent Baptist church burnings. It has a familiar ring to it and the three youths caught are apparently Jewish. ”We have room but for one flag... We have room but for one language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty, and that is the loyality to the American people.” - Theodore Roosevelt
Impose a 35% tax/surcharge on ANY monies wired out of the US to Mexico. Next, remove as many current incumbents in Congress through the primary process this summer.
Um, it's special diversity, yeah, that's the ticket. Some peolpe need diversity, others don't. People who ask why need even more. (crickets, tribal shouting, and finally gunbursts). What's with this idea of a "bad neighborhood"? Do the sidewalks snatch purses and the trees and squirrels kill innocent bystanders?

The state of Georgia is considering such a move. I would also add anybody who knowingly hires the illegal, automatic asset forfeiture.

Unfortunately; Georgia is only considering a meager 5%, although it is a step in the right direction. Forfeiture? Now we're talking! (After a fair trial, of course.)

What can I say but Brown Illegal Scum.
How much you suppose the SPLC gives those crybabies every year?

Those pictures are rather funny. The reason America is America is because white people made it so. Mexico is Mexico because it's full of Mexicans. It's why they're Third World. Most people don't know it, but one of the reasons why the Southwest was taken from Mexico is because Americans during that time saw what a pathetic, murderous joke Mexico was, and knew the less territory the country "ruled," the better it was for everyone involved. We should have taken more land during our war with them.

Sheesh, there's never an M60 around when you need one.
If they're so fucking oppressed how come the have time to make signs and hand outt representin and whatnot?

Only for us, not them. Look, you can vote, post, and write your congressman and nothing is going to change. These wetbacks are being allowed in to replace you, and they're here to stay. In a generation or two the whole of America will be a 3d world country, some parts are 3d world now. You have three choices: 1- Accept your fate. 2 - Get the f**k out 3 - Raise the black flag I'll be using option #2
I'll do all I can to quit mocking the APWU.

I saw this sh*t coming thirty years ago, and decided not to have kids. At least MY children and grandchildren won't be working in the wetback's tomato fields.
Signs provided by the Communist Party, USA. I'll be damned...they DID beat us without firing a shot.
Amen. I have a proposal for these third world dirtbags...we burn everything in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas right to the ground. Then you guys can rebuild everything, using that state of the art Mexican technology that has made you the envy of the entire world. Deal?
After seeing the photos of those signs, I wondered who is really behind all this, it had to be highly organized. I do believe the PTB intend for them and others to replace us 'racist white people who need to go back to Europe'.
Or the ADL, same thing. But yep it sure did happen just like they said it would.
And that's why we have to go. Whites think too much and are too "upity." The Magna Carta, The Bill of Rights, Labor unions, and I'll even throw in Das Kapital. There's no room in this post 9/11 USA for all this freedom and self determination junk! And don't forget the events of French or Russian Revolutions, running around killing the elite? Bad proles! Bad! Whites are just too much a risk for the elites to keep around anymore. Sure most are mind numbed sheep, but rebel-rouser to sheeple ratio is just too high a risk for the likes of DC to accecpt.
"The more I see of life, the less I fear death" - Me.
You owe me a new keyboard; I just spit coffee out of my nose all over it. What would state of the art Mexican technology be? A donkey pulling a plow? Or how about a Mexican pulling a plow?

The educated, the talented, the bright ones again will be done away with just like before. It's almost like a hundred-year cycle. This time it's our turn.
Sherman wanted too. He hated Indians and he wanted to take Mexico after the Indians were under control. It was kind of like when Patton wanted to keep going and take Russia.
Sorry. :-)
I haven't had much of a chance to watch the news this weekend, but I would bet my paycheck that those types of pictures were not beamed in on Fox News or CNN. What pisses me to no end is that those people have their own freeking country with conditions that they won't lift a finger to protest against. However, they will sneak in here, protest our laws, and tell us how to treat them.

Glamour urged him on, glamour kept him unscathed. He surely wanted nothing from the wilderness but space to breathe in and to push on through. His need was to exist, and to move onwards at the greatest possible risk, and with a maximum of privation. If the absolutely pure, uncalculating, unpractical spirit of adventure had ever ruled a human being, it ruled this bepatched youth. I almost envied him the possession of this modest and clear flame. It seemed to have consumed all thought of self so completely, that even while he was talking to you, you forgot that it was he-- the man before your eyes--who had gone through these things. I did not envy him his devotion to Kurtz, though. He had not meditated over it. It came to him, and he accepted it with a sort of eager fatalism. I must say that to me it appeared about the most dangerous thing in every way he had come upon so far.
