The United States economy did just fine today after the protests by illegal immigrants.  The protesters called the rallies a day without immigrants which is an absolute farce because the one’s protesting are “illegal” immigrants, not immigrants which is a big difference.  If all the legal immigrants in America didn’t go to work than that would cause problems.  Some of these legal immigrants are taking a stand against these illegals:

A group of Hispanic Americans calling themselves, “You Don’t Speak for Me,” participated in a Washington news conference Monday in support of strong border security.

Led by Ret. Army Col. Al Rodriguez, the coalition formed to dispel the impression that all Hispanic Americans support those who are trying to disrupt the nation on May 1.

“As the demands of illegal aliens and their supporters become ever more shrilled and outrageous, the silent majority of Americans are remaining silent no longer. We are proud and delighted that will give a voice to the millions of hard-working, law-abiding Hispanic Americans whose views are too often misrepresented,” said Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which organized the coalition.

“These people have been telling us for a long time they hate to be treated like criminals. What they’re doing today, throughout the whole country, is behaving just like that,” Claudia Spencer, a member of You Don’t Speak for Me, told FOX News. “We feel really really offended … they are hurting everything in the United States, including us, the legal Latinos.”

I am originally from Colorado and I can tell you Hispanic-Americans there do not like the illegal immigrants because they create a negative image for the hispanic community in general plus they are taking jobs that many legal hispanics had worked because the illegals are working for cheaper wages.  So this here really didn’t come as much of a surprise to me:

A group called “Defend Colorado Now” was holding an opposition rally Monday. That group wants to deny state services to illegal immigrants. In Colorado alone, 462 bills related to immigration or immigrants were introduced in the Legislature; only about 10 percent are expected to pass.

The “Defend Colorado Now” group is mainly composed of Hispanic-Americans who are trying to protect US Workers rights in the state.  Here is a picture of the group:

I think the important thing to remember about this is that American citizens like Defend Colorado Now, who are angered by all illegals making demands that they have no right to demand should not direct their anger at the protesters.  Think about it, you can’t blame them for wanting to come to America and they now have the media and the politicians on their side so they feel the momentum shifting to where if they conduct enough protests they may be able to shift public opinion to make their amnesty demands reality.  However, the only way their demands become reality is if the spineless politicians allow it to happen.  These spineless politicians all see a possible voting block for their political interests if they give these people the amnesty they are demanding.  So that is why I say don’t blame the protesters, blame the politicians and their media accomplices that allowing these people to feel they have the right to demand amnesty.

I have been working on my wife’s legal citizenship for three years now and she entered the country as a legal immigrant.  These illegals protesting today feel that they have the right to cut in front of my wife in the citizenship line because of their strength in numbers that has the politicians running scared.

So I am sitting here watching all this nonsense on TV and the whole time I am thinking, where are the Asians?  Why aren’t they protesting?  Why aren’t Asian immigrants not included in these amnesty demands?  With the large Chinese and Korean communities in the United States you would think that the Asian community in the US would be screaming mad that the latino community is getting such special treatment in possibly receiving amnesty.  But then again the Asian community was working Monday making ends meet and contributing to the betterment of the United States unlike the hundreds of thousands who were out protesting and doing nothing.
