Now we have got at least one of the points i was trying to get across.
The second point might be that public sentiment may be swayed by this huge event to the extent that the real facts are covered up. No matter what our position may be the law is still the law and this event is an attempt to say that breaking the law is ok.
#1 No you may not circumvent the proper way to do things.
#2 No you may not jump the line in front of others who have worked thru the process.
#3 No you may not lie and falseify documents to get a job.
#4 No you may not come here for the specific purpose of having your children while you pay no taxes.
#4 No you may not be a dishonest human being and expect me to support your effort at demonstrating for what you believe is your right to do so
This list could be a lot longer but the bottom line is..........
I hope that if anyone is concerned about what this demonstration could accomplish they should pass this information along as a reminder regarding whats in store.

FYI: A person can come here legally, look for a job legally, find one and apply, while s/he is still legally here, for legal persmission to stay here and work. However, those applications currently take anywhere from 90 - 180 days to process. S/he is allowed to stay here "legally" while it is being processed. However, if the application is denied, that person becomes an "illegal alien" the instant the application is denied. Even worse, that persons "illegal" status is RETROACTIVE to the date his/her original authorized stay expired. In other words, current immigration law treats him/her as if s/he had NEVER filed an application and had just decided to stay here illegally.
This is just
one example of the way current U.S. immigration law "manufactures" illegal aliens. People who think the line between "legal" and "illegal" is bright and clear and that all "illegal" aliens are bad/immoral/criminals, etc. are simply ignorant of how screwed up our immigration laws are right now.
I'm not in favor of amnesty fwiw, but I
am in favor of some sort of rational immigration policy and "kick out all the illegals" ain't it.
