Criminal Infiltrators Take to the Streets




LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Some 200,000 flag-waving, sign-carrying protesters marched in cities across the United States on Tuesday in orchestrated rallies intended to demonstrate the political might of Latinos and win amnesty for illegal immigrants.

But the May Day demonstrations failed to live up to the promise of last year, when some 500,000 people poured into the streets of Los Angeles and Chicago in marches that were hailed as the start of a new American civil rights movement.

Organizers blamed the lower turnouts in part on the failure of Spanish-language media to galvanize young people. Experts said immigrants and their leaders felt less urgency since a tough reform bill from last year was no longer before Congress.

The marchers waved U.S. and Mexican flags and said they were angry about raids to nab illegal workers and Congress' failure to grant them amnesty. They hope to send a message to Washington as the 2008 presidential race heats up.

Suggestion to these scofflaws: Enter this country legally, as our great grandparents did, insist that your kids be educated in English, embrace what it is to be an American and make a better life for your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

This is not East Italy, West Korea or North Mexico.

This is the United States of America.
