native pride 4 life....proud navajo tribe right here

@jnnfr0447, I here ya, but nationhood, conquest, and defense are in practically all human blood. The Native Americans weren't a nation, - they were many many 'nations', and not unified sufficiently for the scale of defence necessary to win,.....and then there was the issue of technology differences compared to the Euros.

@devildog12able

Everyone here has ancestors that crossed over from other countries! unless you are a native american, and even then the White man took their land and raped and pilaged the indian people

Seriously Dude are you going to pick brocolli in 120 degree heat? The immigrants are the only ones that will, because no American born person would do that job.

[madrobin]

@Hans353 I hope that this new law is removed America was suppose to be a land of Opprtuinity and Freedom and it shouldn't matter if you are here illegally or not I say people should have the right to freedom no matter what race you are. I saw down with Law up with Freedom to a great life. Mexicans are the hardest working People in this country. This is everybodies country and when you come in its your land!!!! and everybodies land Keep fighting till the law is reppealed.

@devildog12able you also cannot arrest someone without a warrant, and you can also not arrest someone because you suspect them to be illegal based on their race, but you support that. neat

[spencerlee23]

@Hans353 they took Mexico's land in war

[Hans353]

@devildog12able really man?? wish u were there when they took mexicos land illegally.. pretty sure that was illegal..... shit the law is the law i totally agree with you..check ur history before you start arguing about this alright...

[devildog12able]

Only in America can you have a protest were people who have broken the law want rights that they didn't earn. Only in America can a criminal hold up a sign saying they broke the law and not get arrested. The law is law. You can't rob, rape and kill either. Just check in at the door and there would be no problem.

@mikesheritage5 sorry your wrong. The replublicans has 8 yrs to do something...and they did nothing. So stop blaming Dems. Truth is no one will stop illegals because corp america gets cheap labors.

[mikesheritage5]

Amnesty is for the democrate vote. Plain and simple. the dems want their vote to keep them in the office for now until the death of America. where will people go when this country is long gone. it's breaking apart financially but you have to know your history in order to understand how it's happening. it's a damn shame.

[fight4yourfreedom1]

i see reform coming and the us government making all illegals becoming legal . then watch as america becomes a third world nation and destroys it self

[jason4275]

let me tell you when you visit another country in the rest of the world if you don't have ID or a passport you will go to jail and get kicked out of the country thats the law of every country except America

[hangntough]

If I'm standing on the street protesting that the child beater should not be arrested then yes, I would be supporting child abuse.

[jnnfr0447]

where do you get 60,000 people support illegal activity? Is that the same as saying your neighbor hits their kids and you hear them cry so by not reporting it you support child abuse?

[jtonyd]

A narrow mind and a wide mouth usually go together and usually fail to see the bigger picture, the law was written by a congressman with ties to the white supremacist movement, don't think Arizona's best interest was at the top of his list.

The violation of human and civil rights should prompt anyone to protest regardless of their view on immigration, racial profiling is not a solution is a catalyst that will worsen the situation.

check out my documentary on may day in los angeles may 1 2010 i have footage of a anti-immigrant protestor get chased out at the rally check out my channel. and great work on this video.

[nastylefthook1]

me and two friends went by a local home depot and tried to communicate with a short dark skinned latino,,he spoke no english,,,we detained him as obviously illegal,,,we used some force ,but minimal,,,we called ice to come and interview/arrest,,,ice would not respond saying let him go as they were to busy to respond,,,we released him,,,,me and my friends will continue to detain suspected illegals,,all within the law,,,if ice doesnt respond we will release them after obtaining identity

[gunnnzz]

Everyone there that didn't have ID should've been arrested!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[psychoklown66]

I protest this new law !!! There's going to be MORE Mexicans in California !! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yakyakyak69]

@mikey7122 Legal immigration is GOOD. WELCOME!

Illegal invasion is BAD. Criminals go HOME!

If the Federal Gov't REFUSES to enforce current FEDERAL LAW, Provide for the Common Defense against the illegal invaders which secures the general welfare for American citizens and LEGAL guests the the States MUST defend their legal citizens.

[hangntough]

It's amazing that approximately 60,000 people in Los Angeles support illegal activity.That'll show you what kind of character they have.

[RIA310]

I agree with watchman, I think that if you commit a crime then your citizenship status should be questioned. It would be more fair if they made it a requirement to check everyones status. I do not agree with just stopping people who "look" like they are undocumented. I do not think we should house immigrants who commit crimes, it cost us 60k a year to keep one person in jail/prison.
