What did you thought about the protests last week by illegal immigrants?

Question

Opinions please.

Have a nice weekend. Thanks.

Answer 1

Here in Chicago 150,000 people marched, which is a pretty large number of people. But it was a much smaller turn out than last year's 400,000 person march. I feared that the police would be ready and waiting at the Hyde Park meeting place with police buses and paddy wagons to arrest the marchers and mistakenly arrest legal citizens. But that didn't happen. I guess because the police figured some marches were legal citizens and couldn't take the risk. I'm glad because it was a peaceful protest at least here in Chicago, so nobody deserved to get into any trouble.

Anyway, as far as my feelings on the march itself goes, I really don't think it will be anymore effective than last years protest, after which the police did raids and deported thousands of illegal immigrants despite all the protest.

Answer 2

A disgrace that criminals are allowed to protest for rights they don't have or deserve. ICE field agents should have been there waiting to check all the protesters' legal status and then taking the appropriate action. A golden opportunity was wasted.

Answer 3

They are here illegally and they knew what they were doing when they crossed the border. I don't have much sympathy for them because they are illegal and have broken the law. I think about all the other immigrants who come over here and do the right thing and go through the processes of becoming a legal citizen.

And then I think how dare they protest. It's like they demand for something legal when they committed an illegal act to be here.

"What did you thought" ?
Hi, you must see that although I speak Hindi, Arabic, French and of course English, as I am a white Brit., I guess thet when I go into my local mini-mart thing, and everyone starts speaking Urdu, and I join in, the group are somewhat annoyed that I understand every word.
Why is that ?
When I lived in Oman, I spent 3 years of learning Arabic, out of courtesy to my freinds, and all others.
Anyway, my thanks you for the question, and as you ask, I am going for a hog-roarst next Saturday, followed by a free bar at our local Water-Mill on Sunday., With a staff party afterwards.
As I am in in rural Bedfoerdshire, with a small amount of cash in the bank. but having a good time, I honestely pity those in dodgy circumstances, who can't get out.
Proffesianal ex-patriot folks, fine, but we are are up to our lugs with someone that can't stick one brick to that one your left. It is most dissappointing.
I would say - no benefits, options are do training under government scheme, which we will pay for, or sod off.

Excuse me, but I have been an ex-patriate for many a year, then returned, as I was born here in England of a long ancestry going back to 1640.

Good it lies, I am anti-racist, and probabaly have more Asian and Arabic freinds than many white Brits.

But there are a good many of folks hiding in the closet & woodwork without paperwork, and I am unsure that is correct in any country..
Not in my book, anyway.

Every time they protest it sets them back as a people in this nation another decade..

Were at 20 years now...

Answer 6

I think if Americans went to any other country illegally and demanded citizen's rights, we'd be laughed at and kicked out.

Only in America do people who break our laws get to wave their national flags, tell us how much they hate us, demand rights they don't deserve, smugly tell us they ain't leaving and then we bend over backwards for them. Only in America.

Answer 7

I thought it was a flop.Not many people and no one noticed they weren't working .The one last year was way bigger but this one did nothing,just more lies on signs and people demanding things that they don't deserve. I back the LAPD and all the police 100%.

You have a great weekend too sweetie.

Answer 8

If the Carthiginians decided to sneak into Rome, then flew their flag, then demanded services and rights that the Romans who lived there earned through military service, then protested, I think the outcome would be much MUCH worse

Answer 9

Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. America love it or leave it. Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. Leave it Now. Zero tolerance for immigration-law violators! No amnesty, no "stealth-amnesty." No "change of status," marriage fraud, "exceptional leave to remain," no "Temporary Protected Status." If you break the law, depart or be deported. Illegal aliens kill more US citizens each year than the war in Iraq has killed in four years. Apologists for illegal immigration like to paint it as a victimless crime. But in fact, illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children. Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants willing to work at substandard wages and working conditions depresses the wages of American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees. Illegal immigration also contributes to the dramatic population growth overwhelming communities across America--crowding school classrooms, consuming already limited affordable housing, and straining precious natural resources like water, energy, and forestland. Taxpayers are being forced to pay for the free health care, education, and other welfare programs being given to illegal aliens; Those tax dollars could be given back to U.S. taxpayers or used to keep our borders secure; They may be here illegally, but they sure know how to "work the system" to collect "free" medical care, "free" education, "free" food, Section 8 housing vouchers and other housing assistance, and hundreds of other social services. It costs citizens additional hundreds of billions of tax dollars at every level: local, state, and federal. It gobbles up billions of our charitable contributions. And much of that money ends up siphoned out of our economy and into offshore accounts. Illegal aliens, over half of whom work "under the table" with neither job nor income reported (nor taxed), are not counted as employed or unemployed. But some of those day-labor and off-the-books "job-lets" would be "real" jobs - available to American citizen job-seekers - if employment regulations were enforced. Illegal aliens can get away with tax evasion, et al., which citizens cannot. In short, we have too many workforce entrants and too few jobs created. The ratio works out to roughly 7-10 workforce entrants per job created. If all illegal aliens depart or are deported, all legal immigration halted, and all temporary employment visas abolished, we still have a problem with more US-born workforce entrants than new jobs created. Illegal immigration damages our country and our citizens every day at every level. And not even the attacks of 2/26 and 9/11 have awakened many Americans to the vast dangers illegal immigration poses to our selves, our families, our communities, our society, our values, our principles, our civilization. Zero Tolerance for Immigration-Law Violators! We must remember the lessons of 2/26, 9/11, and the costs we bear every single day. God Bless the U S A !

Answer 10

i think LA police were in the right, and i wonder why they were not all arrested and all illegals deported right there on the spot, i do not believe illegals have the right to protest anything, go back home and protest, this is not their home!!!
