I think it cool Greg that they are standing in what they believe in. But  
what I believe in is that you should come to this country legally like my Irish  
Grandparents did. I saw the Irish in there too. That is cool. They say it  is 
not just the Latinos that are coming here illegally. But 25% are other  
nationality's as well.  The other thing I do not understand is if you  are for 16 
years or so don't you think it is time  to apply for  citizenship?

Thanks for the article and photos, Lonely. (I knew about  the 2 different 
marches). The photos were inspiring--the march looks even  bigger than those 
marches in Cuba that the government tells everyone to  attend. I heard that 
employers were even giving time off for their workers to  go. The 
Republican-sponsored bill they were protesting is ridiculous--probably  unenforceable (making 12 
million undocumented people federal criminals),and  serves mainly to whip up 
racism (which helps employers justify paying low  wages). But the 
Kennedy/McCain bill calls for a low-wage "guest worker"  program, similar to what Bush 
wants. Kennedy has also mentioned that he want  immigrants to feel "American" so 
they can contribute to the military--as if  being sent to get blown up in Iraq 
is going to help people get a better life.  
In Boston, there was a march of under 5,000, but it was kind of cool on  the 
news to see both Latinos and illegal Irish immigrants (many who work in  the 
fake new Irish bars that are everywhere now) marching  together.
