LOS ANGELES — Thousands of people marched today through downtown, demanding a way for the country's estimated 12 million illegal immigrants to become citizens and condemning President Bush's latest proposal.

Dana, check with you tomorrow, have to go to work.

Why bother, you two aren't going to agree. You start out with a report that says 5 million when it's actually 3.5 times that. Old saws like they do dirty jobs that nobody else will do, which is pure myth. They do unskilled labor, for lack of skills and they'll work cheaper because they haven't the overhead.

Sure we have room for them, but they don't want to live where we have room. There's plenty of air to breath, too. If they were trees, it wouldn't be a problem. But they aren't, they're people, people than need infrastructure and services, both of which are expensive and they aren't paying for.

With the billions of dollars they take back to Mexico, why haven't they done anything there? You know, businesses and companies, to establish a decent economy there. Because all their potential customers and employees are here?

I though much of the article was pointing towards the fact that they have started to develop their economy now?

No, it only says

This is an echo of past claims that didn't bear fruition.

I hope the LAPD gets the pants sued off of them. Their actions were complete BS.

Soooooooooooo......

While you observed the actions of the protesters at the event what did you see to make you jump to those conclusions???? I mean you were there, correct?

bluecuracao · 05-03-2007, 08:11 PM

I didn't jump to anything--I don't have to. I can read articles from reliable news sources.

The actions of the protesters off camera are irrelevant. Nothing justifies what happened on camera.

I was going to post this later today.

Fuck the police and the media.

The police did not have to use that force and this would never been reported like this if a camera person did not get hurt.

It is pathetic that someone in the media has to get hurt before they will report what the police did negatively.

Good strategy for protesters by the way.

xoxoxoBruce · 05-03-2007, 02:18 PM

Apparently as long as they were in the street and moving it was OK, but when they were congregating in the park the cops cleared them out. At least that's what I can make of what I've seen on TV.

You're glad the police kicked the asses of people who were doing nothing illegal? Why?
