Protesters Rally Against Illegal Immigration Bill


(CBS) CHICAGO Crowds marched through the city on Friday to rally against HR 4437 ? The Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005.

Supporters of the bill before Congress say it beefs up border protection. But thousands of people in Chicago's Latino community call the pending bill a blatant violation of rights.

When the march started at Union Park at Ashland Avenue and Lake Street, there were already tens of thousands of people.

But as CBS 2?s Rafael Romo reports, at the end of the day, organizers say it was more than half a million protesters. Police estimated the crowd at 300,000.

?I'm definitely surprised to see this many people,? said protester Cesar Garza. ?I expected a small amount of crowd, but this is? wow! I'm really surprised.?

Many of the protesters were immigrants who took the day off work to attend a rally in opposition to HR 4437, a federal bill that -- in part -- makes it a criminal act to help illegal immigrants.

Most marchers were Hispanic, but there were also people of Irish, Chinese, and Polish ethnicity, among others.

The main goal of the march was to protest a bill in Congress that would mandate criminal action against anybody who helps an illegal immigrant.

?This is a ridiculous bill,? said Polish immigrant Paulina Cdnok. ?I don't understand how it got as far as it did, and they're trying to make this a law -- and then at this point it's a police state.?

Other immigrants said their most important goal was to be part of the United States.

?It?s important that they know that we make great contributions to this country,? Chicago resident Maricela Herrera said. ?We?re not here to take any jobs or anything, we?re here to be able to give our contributions that make the United States what it is.?

Mexican immigrant Esperanza Martinez said, ?We got a family to support. We got a job. We pay taxes. We want to be part of this country.?

Mexican immigrant David Martinez said, ?I want to live here with my family.?

The march ended at the Federal Plaza, at Adams and Dearborn streets, where state and local leaders promised to fight for immigrant rights.

?Whether their names are Gutierrez or Lozano, Lipinski or Blagojevich; it doesn't matter,? said Gov. Rod Blagojevich. ?This is a country build by immigrants.?

Mayor Richard M. Daley said: ?Those who are here undocumented, we're not going to make criminals out of them. That is not what America has ever stood for and will not stand for.?

U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez told the crowd that immigrants are here to stay, and pledged to work to block the bill.

The United States flag and banners from Mexico, Honduras, and many others flew over the crowd of thousands at Federal Plaza.

The only opposition to the march came from a group called the Illinois Minutemen Project. Rosanna Pulido of that organization said she believed protecting illegal aliens would violate the law.

?They are asking that our laws be totally violated to protect illegal aliens, people who break the law and come into this country,? Pulido said.

Earlier in the march, Pulido said, ?I don?t care if there?s three million people out there, if they are illegal they do not have a voice in America.?

“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

The only opposition to the march came from four old guys with a flag and some angry woman (whom I found fairly attractive).

For some reason, this reminds me of the Fugitive Slave Act.

Paradign, please explain your historicial reference. I am not sure what you are referring to. Below are historical facts about the Fugative Slave Act:

Federal commisioners were in charge of the right to compel citizens to assist in the pursuit and apprehension of runaways; fines and imprisonment awaited those who refused to cooperate. A captured runaway could not testify on his own behalf and was not entitled to a court trial. They were given 10 dollars for each slave they caught.

What do you mean??????????????

If this bill passes, they can start by arresting Blagojevich and Daley. It doesn't surprise me that they endorse commiting a federal crime, it has never stopped them before.
