About Monday's Illegal Immigration Rallies...

According to this article from Fox News Online,
Hundreds of thousands of people demanding U.S. citizenship for illegal immigrants took to the streets in dozens of cities from New York to San Diego on Monday in some of the most widespread demonstrations since the mass protests began around the country last month...

Rallies took place in communities of all sizes, from a gathering of at least 50,000 people in Atlanta to one involving 3,000 people in the farming town of Garden City, Kan., which has fewer than 30,000 residents...

Thick crowds gathered in New York's Washington Square Park before marching to City Hall. Many waved flags, both American and of countries of their origin. Korean-Americans beat drums nearby. Another group marched from Chinatown, and a third demonstration took place in Brooklyn. Police declined to estimate the size of the crowds, but organizers said 125,000 people were present at City Hall...
Just a little observation: These protests all took place on Monday. Isn't Monday a work day? I know I was at work. I would have loved to join in a counter-demonstration, but I have a family to feed. Don't apologists for illegal aliens say that they all come here just wanting to work? What do I know? I'm just a dumb American.

Good Day to You, Muchacho
