Most illegals are NOT here clamoring for citizenship. Illegals want to make $$$ and send it to Mexico. Illegals should be stopped, sent back home until the Federal government fixes the immigration problems.
If anything, these protests and demonstrations only further divide the community, and further crystalize the anger against these lawbreakers, who otherwise would be readily accepted into the community.
Legal is the only acceptable worker including fruit pickers and roofers.
