Why are Mexicans protesting AZ law with Mexican flags demanding legalization for undocumented Mexican workers?

PHOENIX â€” Thousands of people from around the country marched to the Arizona state Capitol on Saturday to protest the state's tough new crackdown on illegal immigration.

Marchers carrying signs, banners and flags from the United States and Mexico filled a five-mile stretch of central Phoenix. Dozens of police officers lined the route, and helicopters hovered overhead.

Police declined to estimate the size of the crowd, but it appeared at least 10,000 to 20,000 protesters braved temperatures that were forecast to reach 95 degrees by mid-afternoon. Organizers had said they expected the demonstration to bring as many as 50,000 people.

Opponents of the law suspended their boycott against Arizona and bused in protesters from around the country. Some used umbrellas or cardboard signs to protect their faces from the sun. Volunteers handed out water bottles from the beds of pickup trucks, and organizers set up three water stations along the route.

About 20 people were treated for heat or fatigue-related symptoms, and seven of them were taken to a hospital, said Phoenix police spokesman Sgt. Tommy Thompson. There were no arrests or other incidents, he said.

The law's opponents also gathered elsewhere. About 300 people rallied at the Texas Capitol in Austin, and another 300 people protested at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City demanding legalization for undocumented Mexican workers in the United States.

"Many of us have relatives or friends in the U.S. and we must now stand up and speak out on their behalf," said Elvira Arellano, who gained international attention in 2007 when she was deported without her U.S. citizen son.

In San Francisco, groups planned to protest at the Arizona Diamondbacks' game against the Giants Saturday night.

This to inform you of a person living and working in the United States illegally.The names that this person assumes are as follows: Gabriela Sanchez (her niece), Karla P.

All of the names assumed by her can be substantiated through her facebook account which is under the name Gabby Sanchez. Her Employer (who is married to Elona Shaw) whom she is having an affair with is: Dr. Larry Stark 3201 W. Peoria Ave # A-100 Phoenix, AZ 85029. Her assumed Social Security # is her Aunt's Soc. Sec. # 611-32-7757 (Karla P.Durazo) who actually lives in California. The birthdates used May 17, 1968 & March 26, 1972 etc... She drives a pathfinder with AZ lic. # AHT4587. Her address is: 2220 W.

This young woman makes it easier for other illegals to obtain medications including narcotics and evade citizenship tests through the Doctors office that she works in. Also supplying them with false identification and documentation. I am very concerned about the illegal activities (Document Fraud, Identity Theft,Conducting crimes in America) that she is involved in. Please address the above issues as soon as possible.

They think that's really going to do something. I hope that gets them deported even faster.

bstrong.

Sickening. They're more loyal to Mexic-hell than America, they should be sent back.

These people don't have a clue. Most of them are just doing what all the other libs are telling them to do.

Besides it gives them more publicity in support of their taking over the southwest BS.

Plus they know a good deal when they are getting one. Free or almost free everything.

Some of the signs being held were not shown by the media. Here are some of them:

" Why can't we cross the border and smuggle drugs into this country"?

"Why can't we come in and steal and kill?"

" Why can't the US government give us free health care and food subsidies?"

" We left Mexico because we hate our poverty and corruption. Why can't we bring them here?"

There are a few more.

THEY HAVEN"T CHANGED THE FACT THAT 70% OF THE POPULATION AGREE WITH THE LAW.

Let them go out and get sunburned. WE CAN VOTE THEY CAN'T !

they buy into the lie that all illegal immigrants are innocent people just looking for a better life,and most of them where probably Mexican and have family that are in the country illegally

Mexico will deport "legal immigrants" who could not feed themselves and prevent them from obtaining jobs away from it's own citizens because free loaders are a burden, and they will not let anyone stay at their citizens cost, they consider it an insult to have foreigners displaying their flags in Mexico, ironically, Mexican Illegals in the U.S. consider it an insult to have American flags flying In the U.S. during Sinco de Mayo.

They say their indigenous to the U.S, half-lings are not indigenous and indigenous tribe of Mexico are only indigenous in Mexico. Before the spaniards colonized the territories each tribe had their own borders and are competing with one another. The tribes of the southwest was never in allegiance with the tribes south of the border nor were they in allegiance with the half-lings crossing to the southwest. Geronimo kept Mexicans out with all his might.
Does the Mexican Flag symbolize land of opportunity where one can pursue life, liberty, happiness or something opposite? The half-lings and the Indios are the majority in Mexico yet with all that number they couldn't keep depending on Caucasoid. Are there too few Caucasoid to defend on in Mexico? Are there to many mouse to feed?

The U.S. is an independent sovereign in which the foundation of it's creation was laid by the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the bill of rights that shaped the government system and created the Military that kept this country from changing hands to a foreign regime.
Spain or it's former territories did not write the constitution. Their problems shouldn't be allowed in. This is one way to increase poverty in the host nation. Those engage in criminal activities, gang or welfare mongers are not hard working the label is a myth especially for anchor babies or those who grew up here, just like most with a sense of entitlement.

Those waving Mexikan flags are loyal only to Mexiko and should be treated as enemy insurgents and arrested.

They are protesting because they are idiots! They have been bred to believe the Southwest was stolen from him and that the white man has been oppressing them. Their even more idiotic groups have also led them to believe they are the victims. Since when are criminals victims? Who cares what these parasites have to say.

I'm gonna start another riot

I call for other states to join with Arizona in support for the new illegal immigration law. It is a good law. I havenâ€™t met anyone yet up here in the northeast that does not think it is about time the state of Arizona did something the federal lame duck Washington give me another pay raise while leaving seniors with no COLA raise for 2010 & 2011 wonâ€™t do themselves even thought they shout at the top of their lungs its their job to enforce the law. Your illegal, if you get stopped for a taillight that is broken or running a red light we will check to see if you are legally in OUR country. Black, white, Asian, Spanish, Australian, middle eastern, IT DOES NOT MATTER. You will get caught. Just thank God it America and we donâ€™t shoot people for illegally crossing our borders and stealing from us!

screw you! i come from an illegal family! but my parents are both ****** fluent in english etc.
So their illegal? big deal!
you never see a mexican hobo! all you see is white people because you guys are so damn lazy and dont want to ****** pick berries etc. We do the jobs you guys dont want to have! and with out us here the USA wouldn't be anything! this is pathetic and its sorta like natzism!
We pay taxes and do everything like you guys do! their is no difference, except that we have different cultures and traditions and are from a different country.
we came here to support our damn families,
we are not criminals, and we deserve atleast to have a chance in the USA.
SI SE PUEDE!

Because this law will inevitably lead to racial profiling. Cops are not going to pull over white people to ask them if they are illegals, and anyone who believes that anyone with light skin is going to be questioned over being an illegal immigrant needs to stop being foolish and naive. Plus, legal immigrants have to carry papers with them. That's something that free black people had to do back in the 1860's. It's interesting that in the U.S. Mexico War that Mexico gave up 55% of its national territory to the U.S. If you include the annexation of Texas. it goes to two-thirds. (You can go straight to "results" on the wiki page, since you people obviously don't read into things much and prefer to just form your opinions based on idiotic assumptions.)
