Topic: Pro-Illegals Plan May March | |
---|---|
Here it is before it's a surprise. I sent a copy to DHS in case they weren't aware of it. Just in case they are still in the business of enforcing Immigration Law.
No to Amnesty. Report and Deport. Prosecute Americans who break the Immigration Laws on the books. But, in a peaceful way. Chicago immigration march: Advocates for illegal immigrants to push for reforms March in Chicago Loop is set for May 1 and advocates seek legislation By Antonio Olivo | Tribune reporter April 1, 2009 In what has become an annual rite of spring, immigrant advocates announced plans Tuesday for another march through downtown Chicago on May 1 to push for federal reforms on behalf of those in the country illegally. "They've done much to resolve the problems of the banks, the auto industry and all the other corporations, but they haven't figured out how to resolve the problems of the people," march organizer Jorge Mujica said about Congress during a news conference. "We want a resolution for not 25,000 people, not 50,000 people but all 12 million of the undocumented workers in this country." Where community frustration helped draw crowds of several hundred thousand demonstrators since the marches began in 2006, plans for this year's rally through the Loop come as federal policies toward Immigration enforcement appear to be shifting from raids that have affected thousands of families. This week, Department of Homeland Security officials confirmed an imminent shift in enforcement guidelines toward employers with illegal workers and away from the laborers. Last year, about 367,000 illegal workers were deported, with about 11,000 around Chicago, federal records show. With movement in Congress to reintroduce legislation later this year that would create a path toward legalization for illegal immigrants, activists on both sides of the issue are gearing up for another fight. The "Dream Act" would create conditional legal status for undocumented college students. |

what we will see is the liberal media outlets showing how great it is that these people are protesting the unfair practice of wanting the government to enforce the laws. Today, it was just a bunch of right wing terrorists pissed off that Obama is president. I can't wait.
