Minuteman and Tea Party protest of May Day Illegal Immigrants in San Francisco, May 1, 2010

For the first time, a Minuteman group, a Tea Party group, and a 912 group joined together to stand up against illegal immigration in America! The Golden Gate Minutemen, the Pleasanton/NorCal Tea Party and the SF Bay 912 groups combined together to protest the mostly illegal May Day immigrant labor marchers in San Francisco, May 1st, 2010.

During my past four years as a Minuteman in the SF Bay Area I've been to many protest. But this one was by far the most vile display of "in your face" group of "immigrants" that I've ever seen.

Ignited by the recent passage of Arizona's immigration law, fueled by many Democratic politicians, left wing, communist and socialist groups, and spurred on by the liberal media, these marchers took aim at us tax paying American Citizens.

The large group of mostly foreign nationals who are living illegally in the United States, were emboldened by their large numbers, and their arrogance was obvious. They carried signs with swastikas on them, communist flags, and I've never seen so many signs, shirts and hats with their hero "Che Guevara", the racist Cuban revolutionary and self appointed executioner during the Cuban revolution. The number of Mexican and country flags easily outnumbered American flags. And most of the literature being distributed or sold at their event, was Socialist and Communist in nature.

They chanted "racist go home" as they advanced to the barricades that the police placed there to protect us from harm. We were forty and they were two thousand. Joined by many radical left Americans (what else would you expect to find in San Francisco these days), it was obvious to us that this crowd despised us. They had "pre-judged" us as racist, neo-nazis , white supremacist and anti immigrant, just because we want the United States borders secured and illegal immigration stopped. Not only was this far from true, but to me, the true racism was directed at us by them.

We stayed two and half hours, enduring there shouts, slurs, middle finger gestures and dirty looks, in a country that is ours, and in a state that we pay taxes to. All so many of these people can eat, get an education, get medical care, and pay rent - on our dime. And San Francisco welcomes illegal aliens with open arms, having declared itself a "Sanctuary City" for these foreign nationals in 1989.

The Police escorted us to the parking lot, or surely this crowd of "harmless people", "here just to make a living and feed their families", surely would have attacked us. Only in America could non citizens be placed ahead of Citizens who were born here, lead good honest lives, and pay taxes to keep America safe and secure.

I'm disgusted at what the United States of America has become over the past 30 years.

@w3r0ification

This is about legal immigration and people who abide by the law. The next time you wait in a long line at an event, think about how you would feel if someone cut in front of you, allowed in free and taken care of by the event promoters, while you were sitll outside in line waiting to pay to get in. It's about the rule of law and fairness. Plus, people who pay taxes are sick of their money subsidising businesses who hire illegals to take American jobs. Get real.

@w3r0ification

Gee - you break and evade US laws to come and stay here. How do you pay taxes if you are illegal? By stealing someones SSN? Even if you pay taxes, you claim 7 dependents and probably get a tax credit for each. You take jobs from American citizens while being a foreign national from where ever. And this is all "OK" because you frikkin "work hard". Who pays for your children's educantion, medical, food, housing? All from you? I doubt it...

[cvminutemen]

@w3r0ification

why do you illegals persist in accusing American citizens of being "racist"? Enough already. There are over 20,000,000 illegal aliens in our country and for the most part, are bleeding our tax dollars to support them. THIS IS NOT ABOUT RACE OR HATE. How does Mexico handle illegal aliens? We're sick of paying for this and being called every name in the book just because we oppose ILLEGAL immigration. Go cry on some else's sholder!

[killersboss]

if you want to stop illegal inmigration dont be stupid by attacking families that just want to feed their children....BLAME the farms/corporations,etc that HIRE this people so that they can earn 1 dollar per day, instead of paying the regular 10 dollar/day to regular US citizens...the true schemers of this are those corps who want to save on salaries.

@ThePacokilla

The AZ law has basically the same wording as the Federal immigration law which has been on the books for over a century. And no, it is not about racism, but it is about stopping illegal immigrants flooding into our country, taking American jobs and draining our financial resources paid for by United States citizens. Illegal immigrant sympathizers paint the AZ law as racist because it actually is a step in the direction of securing our borders as the U.S. Constitution promises.

Glad those two feral rats were caught. I was there that day and the one before. Most of these people screaming at us have no idea what they are fighting or why, and the rest are just those standing up for their own race (like we are), but somehow we're racist and they aren't. The ones that get me are the disgusting white liberals like the two feral rats that assaulted people. I understand the immigrants' plight. It's ultimately the suicidal white liberals that are the real problem.

[murderapolis612]

thank you for standing up for america.

[BeautifulCriselda]
