Hispanics protest bill that would actually criminalize illegal immigration If you had any doubts about the Hispanic community's blatant disregard for the immigration laws of the United States, they should have been quelled by the massive demonstrations that occurred over the past few days. It's all because of legislation Congress is trying to pass that would make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally, impose new penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants and erect fences along a third of the U.S.-Mexican border. There were 500,000 protesters in Los Angeles alone, making it one of the largest demonstrations in the nation's history. Speaking of Los Angeles, here's what its mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, had to say to the crowd: "We are workers, not criminals. We say . . . that there are no illegals here; the only thing illegal is a proposal that would demonize and criminalize eleven million people. All are welcome." I've heard of politically pandering to a crowd, but this is ridiculous. "No illegals here?" "All are welcome?" Who died and left this guy head honcho of immigration affairs? You gotta love California big city mayors. First it was that puffed up little guy lording over San Francisco who unilaterally declared gay marriage legal and began performing wedding ceremonies en masse. Now Villaraigosa is ready to declare amnesty for eleven million people and extend a formal invitation to the rest of Latin America to come on up and make themselves at home. But Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton make take the prize for most inane statement about the proposed bill that is trying to rationally deal with a serious problem. "This bill would literally criminalize the good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself." Since she feels that way about Jesus, maybe she could talk to her ACLU pals about their campaign to outlaw Christmas.
