More stories on this topic Immigrants and supporters flooded the streets of downtown Dallas Sunday afternoon for the immigration rally many called the Great Awakening.

People began lining up as early as 7:00 a.m. in the front of the Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin Guadalupe waving American flags, dressed in white as a sign of peace and ready to send a message.

As the throng of people grew larger, police opened the gates early around 12:52 p.m. to make way for more people. The beginning of the march set off a parade of protestors that snaked around streets and buildings through downtown chanting "Yes, we can!" in Spanish and "USA."

The sea of what police estimated was up to 500,000 people began marching from the cathedral, down Ross Avenue to Griffith Street and ended at City Hall.

An hour after the march began, protestors at the front of the line were greeted to the sounds of Neil Diamond's "They're Coming to America" as they reached their final destination. But while people were already dancing to Latino music at the steps of City Hall, many people in the back of the lines still hadn't taken a step.

"Dallas, Fort Worth, metroplex, you came through," said Domingo Garcia, the march organizer, as people poured in to watch speakers.

Two hours after the march began, the stream of protestors were all gathered.

"Today the Latino community has said enough is enough," said Hector Flores, LULAC, as he spoke to the crowd. "We're going to take a stand for fairness and justice and we will not back down."

Speakers said America was a nation built by immigrants and built with their sweat, which they continue to do today.

"We are building America and the concretes, and the buildings, and the hotels, and the restaurants," Garcia said.

Along with the protestors, police officers hovered overhead in helicopters and patrolled the streets on horses and cars.

While the crowd appeared to be in good spirits during the march, there were a few opposing protestors present that resulted in a few tense moments..

Police brought out their riot gear and pepperball guns when a group of counter demonstrators taunted the crowd and protestors spoke back and threw water bottles. The SWAT team was also brought in and barricaded the area.

A large law enforcement presence was at the rally with about 550 Dallas police officers and 200 sheriff's deputies present. Officers stood in between those marching and the opponents of the rally that held signs that read "No amnesty."

George P. Bush, the nephew of President George W. Bush, was among several scheduled to speak at the rally.

Earlier participants started the day at the Cathedral Santuario de Guadalupe for the traditional Palm Sunday mass.

Palm Sunday is the first day of Holy Week in the Catholic church, and some protesters said it is significant because it represents the journey Jesus Christ made before his death and resurrection.

"It means a lot because I'm an immigrant," said Carmine Palma, who planned to take part in the protest. "Now they're trying to make us criminals, so that's not fair."

Thousands also gathered wearing white in Fort Worth and their message was the same.

Fort Worth has had large rallies before, including one in 1993 when thousands filled Main Street during a civil rights rally organized by a North Texas radio station. But Sunday's march will probably go down as the largest in the city's history.

"My father was born in Mexico," said protestor Mary Gonzales. "He came here. He became a citizen and joined the army. He fought in the war. And I am proud to have become an American citizen and I want everyone to be able to have the right to do that."

Another protestor also talked about a loved one who fought for America.

"This flag was flown in Iraq while my husband was there on his second tour," said a protestor caring an American flag. "His family came here as illegal immigrants and he fights for our country and fights for his parents also."

The city of Dallas was gearing up for more than 100,000 protesters.

The march was scheduled to begin at Cathedral Guadalupe at 1 p.m., culminating in a rally at City Hall Plaza.

Organizers will lead the crowd down Ross Ave. to Griffin Street, then on Commerce Street and down Ervay Street to City Hall.

"I think the city is prepared," Dallas Mayor Laura Miller said on Friday. "The city manager, the city attorney and the police chief have been having non-stop meetings to be ready for as many as 200,000 people on Sunday."

Dallas Area Rapid Transit said rally organizers had arranged for shuttle bus service from three locations:

• Gate 13 at Fair Park, near the Smirnoff Music Centre

• Townview Center school, 1201 East 8th Street in Oak Cliff

• Stemmons Towers, on Stemmons Freeway near Motor Street

Dallas police said they had no plans to stop traffic on downtown streets during the event, but once the march begins, officers on horseback, motorcycle and on foot will close intersections as protesters approach.

Police asked anyone planning to attend the rally to leave home early and to have patience.

750 total police officers is a LARGE law enforcement presence? That comes out to ONE police officer per each SIX HUNDRED illegals. And that imbalence equates to an intimidated police presence. If this were a KKK rally, they'd have 50 cops per attendee. Sick.

It makes it easy to tell which protests have state approval and backing, doesn't it?

Yes it does. The CFR inspired PLAN is in full motion. The only consolation I take is that I saw this coming years ago and tried my best to raise awareness. I've had little to no success, even within my own family. I've never been so disgusted with people and government in my life.

So did I J.T. and I was called every name in the book.

People are so brainwashed and ignorant.
