Now that the high emotions have worn off from the multiple "Days without Illegal Immigrants", I can't help but think that they irreparably harmed their cause. From the mexican flags to the obnoxious and threatening "Si, se puede" [Yes we can- vote, sneak in, gain amnesty] to the "new" anthem in Spanish, it was nothing but mis-steps.
The result is that the plan to strengthen border security is stronger than ever. Towns like Hazelton are passing ordnances to rid themselves of illegals and antipathy toward illegals is at an all time high.
Illegal immigration always existed, but before it was tolerated because we saw illegals come here and work hard, learn English and assimilate. The greatest harm to the illegals' cause came from themselves, when they came here and tried to turn pockets of each city into Mexico and they started demanding rights that they had not earned.
The border is about to be shut down. In ten years, I think illegal immigration will be 20% of what it was last year.
