Immigration legislation protests

On March 27, 2006, students of Latin descent in Fresno, Reedley and around the country, marched in protest to the series of legislative measures seeking to regulate immigration that are passing through Congress. About 500 students from Roosevelt and Fresno high schools walked out of school and protested H.R. 4437 -- which would make it a felony to illegally be in the United States -- in front of Fresno's City Hall.

This video was shot, edited and produced by Will Albritton. It appeared online on FresnoBee.com later that afternoon.

though illegal immigrants have helped us, they are on american soil without legal verification, and that's trespassing basically, but on a high level this time, and illegal immigrants should wait for citizenship

[Raiderfan123]

hell ya, jandcstarz is stupid as hell, illegal immigrants need to be legal to be here, and they're not, either they get citizenship and all that or not, and its perfectly fine to make it a felony cuz you are breaking the law

The young "Chica de Raza" in the pink T-shirt is my friend. She was Junior Class President last year, Rallies Commissioner this year, Cheer Captain (along with me), took 3 AP classes, was a member of the academic decathalon, and still had time to take care of her new born twin baby brother and sister and hold a part-time job. She didn't need coaching, sweetie. Not all mexican immigrants come to pick fruit. It doesn't matter where you're from, you can do anything you want if you work hard enough.

What are the similarities between Selections for individual landing on moon & U.S.A Citizenship Both have same odds to get thr 

So, I think its all DIRTY politics who are opposing this immigration bill. They are share holders in those company who hire illegal workers & but ready to fill there pockets but not ready to give them one chance. You need their son's to fight for this country where their parent's dnt have any rights what you call it double standards

Seriously whats the difference between you having a kid and an immigrant coming in to the country other than colour? The only difference over here is that an immigrant will usually have no education to pay and will work harder and for less. They have helped our economy enourmously. Tax is charged on all products so you can't even eat without contributing.

[GirlyVoice]

Thats a little harsh isn't it? The system needs to change so immigrants ARE tax paying citizens possibly by granting temporary social security numbers. If the US government was more welcoming maybe there would be fewer people leeching like you claim there are

[jandcstarz]

shut your rebulican mouth bitch! all i gotta say is WHO PICKS YOUR FRUIT AND CLEANS UP YOUR MESS? MEXICAN BITCH!! VIVA MEXICO

[WileyPeyote]

Yeah....more pro-Illegal propaganda from the pro-Illegal lobby in Fresno.

The young "Chica de Raza" in the pink T-shirt is full of it. She was obviously coached on that one.

The "Intellectuals" of the open-border movement will stoop to any level.

It's time for these brats to face reality.

Foreign nationals who enter the USA illegally are not "tax paying citizens" of this nation. Illegal aliens are criminals, if they are paying any income taxes they are using stolen social security numbers, a FELONY, for which there is a $250,000.00 fine and 25 years in federal prison. Illegal aliens are NOT given USA social security numbers.

By US law illegal aliens have two rights 1) the right to be arrested and 2) the right to be deported.
