"While organizers say a big turnout and a broad diversity at Monday's events will send a signal to politicians in Washington wrangling over immigration reform, others see possible down sides. "Each time immigrants have these giant rallies, the more they infuriate the rest of the American population with the idea that those who break the law get to march and somehow be rewarded," says Ira Mehlman, L.A. spokesman for Federation for American Immigration Reform. "We have seen in France what happens when you try to bring in millions of people ... in many cases who are hostile. We saw there that it didn't work, and it won't work here.""
I'm all for some immigration reform, we need to let more in legally, but these marches are rediculous. We may not be able to gather up all 11 million "undocumented workers", but it seems to me that these marches would be the perfect place to round up the ones who flaunt their status. They're here illegally, yet are brazen enough to march the streets in public? Being illegal here should not be so easy...
