Speaking of Illegals…

Illegal aliens and their supporters hit the streets in several major cities Friday, chanting all kinds of slogans about freedom, God and the American Dream. The AP was there and offers us a glimpse of the mayhem (via CNN):

“They’re here for the American Dream,” said Malissa Greer, 29, who joined a crowd estimated by police to be at least 10,000 strong. “God created all of us. He’s not a God of the United States. He’s a God of the world.”

There go the liberals invoking God again. Don’t they know there is a separation of church and state? What next, a 100 foot tall Ten Commandments monument at the border?

Teodoro Maus, an organizer of the Georgia protest, estimated as many as 80,000 Hispanics did not show up for work. About 200 converged on the steps of the Georgia Capitol, some wrapped in Mexican flags and holding signs reading: “Don’t panic, we’re Hispanic” and “We have a dream, too.”

See, it’s not just right wing nutjobs that get too patriotic. But I think the organizer has it wrong–this sounds more like the Mexican Dream to me.

The protests weren’t without trouble. A fight broke out between marching Hispanics and Blacks in LA, put into perspective by this student:

“It’s ridiculous that a bunch of black students would jump on Latinos like that, knowing they’re trying to get their freedom.”

Illegal aliens “getting their freedom” by using Constitutional Rights of assembly to march in favor of breaking the law? Ya gotta love that. (more…)
