Today's Protest in Portland

May 1st is typically a day set aside for people to rally for Immigration Reform. But today, protesters in Portland said that they were motivated by Arizona's recent passage of a law cracking down on illegal immigration. The new Arizona law requires immigrants to carry their alien registration documents at all times and requires police to question people if there is reason to suspect they are in the United States illegally. Protesters say it will lead to discrimination and racial profiling.

Honestly, in my opinion, Illegal is Illegal and if you are living and/or working in this Country illegally, well then, we need to understand that this is a crime and those folks to indeed need to be reprimanded for it. Honestly I'm glad that ONE of our great States has woken up and smelled the darn coffee!! We need to start protecting jobs for our own people here in America who needs to feed their children. We need to open up yet another inexpensive place to live for a legal family who needs a cheaper rent.

I really don't know what was/is going through the minds of those protesters here in Portland today. I hope at least ONE of them will step up to the plate here and possibly shed some light on me.
