That is an idiotic comment. How do you know those who paticipated in the riots were illegals? Just because some of the revelers were hispanic doesn not make them illegal. I was just in LA this weekend, and Laker fever was everywhere. Frankly, I thought that a championship win on the road would lead to subdued celebration in LA.

In any event, the same thing happened in Boston, and happens at (and following) most european soccer matches.
