I think it cool Greg that they are standing in what they believe in. But
what I believe in is that you should come to this country legally like my Irish
Grandparents did. I saw the Irish in there too. That is cool. They say it is
not just the Latinos that are coming here illegally. But 25% are other
nationality's as well. The other thing I do not understand is if you are for 16
years or so don't you think it is time to apply for citizenship?

Thanks for the article and photos, Lonely. (I knew about the 2 different
marches). The photos were inspiring--the march looks even bigger than those
marches in Cuba that the government tells everyone to attend. I heard that
employers were even giving time off for their workers to go. The
Republican-sponsored bill they were protesting is ridiculous--probably unenforceable (making 12
million undocumented people federal criminals),and serves mainly to whip up
racism (which helps employers justify paying low wages). But the
Kennedy/McCain bill calls for a low-wage "guest worker" program, similar to what Bush
wants. Kennedy has also mentioned that he want immigrants to feel "American" so
they can contribute to the military--as if being sent to get blown up in Iraq
is going to help people get a better life.
In Boston, there was a march of under 5,000, but it was kind of cool on the
news to see both Latinos and illegal Irish immigrants (many who work in the
fake new Irish bars that are everywhere now) marching together.
