Crispus Attucks Brigade to march against illegal immigration
There were more marches in support of illegal immigrants in Los Angeles yesterday. But I also got word
of another rally shaping up, tentatively set for April 30 and in need of some organizational volunteers. It's not the Minutemen... it's being put on by the Crispus Attucks Brigade.
Crispus Attucks, for those of you who have been ditching Los Angeles Unified schools and history class to protest recently, was a runaway slave turned seaman, and the first casualty of the American Revolution when he was killed during the Boston Massacre.
The brains behind the brigade is Ted Hayes, L.A.'s "Rasta Republican," founder of the Dome Village project to shelter the homeless and creator of Compton's cricket club (the Homies and Popz).
The April 30 march is being billed as a rally for "Civil Rights for Illegal Immigrants ... in Mexico." The downtown procession is needing volunteers in areas ranging from fundraising to publicity to procuring porta-potties. E-mail civilrightsmarch@domevillage.org to help out.
All the marches are just training for Iraq.

Hmmmmmmm...About another march:
"Un dia sin immigrante" ("A day without an immigrant") -- May 1, Monday.
On this day no one -- from the highest (those who work) to the lowest (politicians) will work, or buy or sell anything in the USA.
After all, we're all immigrants. There are no "native Americans", whether you believe in evolution or creation.
Personally, I'd rather see "Un Dia Sin Immigrante" on *Cinco de Mayo*, Viernes. That way I can take the day off work and go to the parade.
Seriously, the parade in Carson is *Great!*

The illegals are always saying "we are all immigrants." Wrong. An immigrant is someone here on our soil who was not born in this country. Right now that is about 10% of the U.S. population. So this "we are all immigrants" is incorrect. I am glad to see Black Americans stand up for their rights. To let illegal aliens come in and say their civil rights are abused the same way Blacks were in this country is a slap in the face to every Black, and to Martin Luther King, who stood up for Black AMERICAN CITIZENS.

Black people have been among the hardest hit by illegal immigration.
Their crackpot "leaders" blame the evils of the past, diverting attention from what is really hurting them today.
But for many years they have known in their hearts what illegal immigration was doing to their communities and it was only a matter of time before they rose up in defense of their civil rights.
The leftists will of course try to use hate as a weapon to cut the "uppity" black people down to size. But I think black people understand what a threat illegal immigration is to them as it is to all of us and I don't believe they are going to grovel before the massahs of the radical left.
To say the least, black people in America have a history of standing up for their civil rights.

Ms. Johnson;
I'm not a black American but if I were, I would be deeply offended by the illegal invaders' attempt to hijack the civil rights movement for their foul purposes. Rosa Parks did not try to sneak onto the bus to avoid paying the bus fare. She was also (can you remember Senator Kennedy?) an American citizen.

I am a Black American and technically not a republican but I am conservative and let me tell you in all honesty, BLACK PEOPLE ARE SICK OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION/IMMIGRANTS. We don't like to appear hateful but look, ya came here ILLEGALLY. Stop expecting to be treated like LEGAL citizens. Boycott? Marches? Rallies? Where was all this while you were in your OWN COUNTRY? I'm sick of them, their MS-13's, their expectation of American benefits. Go HOME! Black people were enslaved and brought here; we didn't sneak in during the night so don't align yourselves with our struggle. You insult every Black, White, Jew, Italian, Irish person who was a part of the revolution. And you have the AUDACITY to be smug. Oh yes, it's a little reported fact that hispanics are not friendly with Blacks.
There is neither time nor space for me to continue this but just know that the real Black community does NOT support illegal immigration legislation and we would like for them to be prosecuted and deported. Not another criminal to be paid for with my tax dollars. The currently incarcerated can have their jobs as part of their rehabilitation process. America still works and we don't need supplements.
P.S.
SPEAK/LEARN ENGLISH
The National Anthem is NOT YOURS TO CHANGE.
Whew, I'll stop here.

Recent legislation is being passed for money, money to pay for illegals education. My son wont even go to our local college its been so overrun by illegals they even offer bi-lingual education... We dont live in a bad part of town!
I've had to move when the house next door was taken over by coyotes who housed twenty illegals at a time all of them pissing on the chainlink fence underneath my bedroom window... My son has had to rescue a mentally handicapped teen who was nearly beaten to death by illegals. He then was tricked into testifying against the gang members further risking his life...
I cant get a job in social work and many other customer service jobs because I dont speak spanish even retaiil jobs go to young illegals who work fast and hard and long and cheap!When those jobs used to go to housewives and young americans who wanted to work part time while attending school...
I live in california in case you haven't guessed.. and if you feel sympathy towards illegals be aware I at one time felt the same way only to now be held hostage by illegals who have overpopulated, polluted, raised taxes , commit hienious crimes caused americans to lose jobs and destroyed calif. infrastructure..
My sons had to move out of state due to lack of afforadable housing since illegals will live multiple families per house thus being able to afford to buy their homes...
Carry a sign stand in front of business that hire illegals.Pass out flyers you print up. I guarntee you'll have support immediately. A cop may even stand by assuring your safety just in case the so called peaful people attack you!
This is not written by a racist my grandparents were railroaded out of mexico during poncho villa's failed revolution when mexico got rid of the middled class business owners wanting only the poor and the wealthy.. as california has now become....and yes it hurts to be looked upon as the enemy because of the color of my sking brown. But I cant say I blame those who dont know who to trust with brown skin. GOD HELP US! HELP US!

Why in the world is Jesse Jackson out parading with illegal aliens? Then he has the audacity to tell blacks to go out and march with them. Has he lost his mind!? There's not a black person that I know that agree's with this illegal immigration mess. I guess Jesse found a new base. Blacks don't want him anymore.

Well, I think the capital economic theory that once propagated for the enslavement of Africans population form Africa then brought them to generate wealth for them is till alive and vivid, the dimension which it has taken now is South America.
The sound minded people of free United States much stand up for their rights and stop illegal immigration into the USA.
They much leave the country through the way they came in.
I sympathieze with American common ladies and gentlman who are unemployed
