Exclamation Immigration Protest in SF

Big crowd going thru downtown San Francisco right now. They were shouting something on loud speaker, but I cannot understand it. Stay away from the city!

You guys should not so biased towards the people marching on the streets right now. It bothers me to see people ripping on ohters that are trying to make a life for themsleves here in the US. As far as the traffic situation and what not, it does not bother me. Just comments that try to make fun of the Immigrant workers here in this country. Remember we all are related to somebody that hopped on a boat and fled their country and seeked a new life here in the states, it's time for all of us to Unite!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah...the difference is there are people that do it legally, and people who dont. These people don't think doing things legally is the right way. Im sorry, but it makes the legal immigration process a waste of time when we accept people who do things this way. If they don't obey immigration laws, what laws will they obey? What taxes will they pay? What contribution to society will they make?

Im sorry but I can live without taco trucks, and hotel maids for as long as necessary. Im not racist, Im a realist.

Fk that. If you're not willing to do what it takes to become a citizen legally, get the fk out. Why should we have accomodations for everyone??

yeah...efff that. My father, and a few of my cousins got here, and did it the legal way. Waiting on the lists, paying the thousands in fees, etc etc etc

And we should just do it for free for 12 million people because they throw a 1 day protest?

No thanks

I say if they can take a day off for protest and I am busting my butt, cut their pay. They're getting paid too much if they can afford not going to work for a day!

thats what Im saying...they're calling in sick and not working....losing money, and making businesses close their doors screw em. I went to Jack in the Box today, and the dining area was closed cause there weren't enough people working to cleanup and stuff. I say fire them, and hire legal hard working americans who need jobs. The pay may suck, but once these jobs open up, people who really need the jobs might get them. Not just illegals.

I also do realize that illegal's are vital to our economy because of all the money saved when employing them, however there are many downsides. People need to take a good look in the mirror sometimes and realize they aren't too good to do a certain job. Its really a shame America has come to this, but IMO....round em up and ship em out. They are protesting laws that are there for a reason, and slapping everyone in the face who does things the legal and proper way.

They have no respect for us, and I have no respect for them!
