L.A. marchers demand immigration rights - Yahoo! News

There ya go...demand rights that shouldn't be there to begin with. There already is free education, welfare, health, etc.

"Last year, we were fighting for legalization, and this year we are fighting for legalization and against all these raids," said Maria Lopez, 50, an illegal immigrant who works as a seamstress and sends $200 a month home to family members in Mexico.

"We have no way to come up with that much money, and Bush knows that," she said. "He is doing this on purpose so we don't ever become legal residents."

As though becoming a legal resident ever became a concern.

Many were angry about a White House plan that would grant illegal immigrants work visas but require them to return home to apply for U.S. residency and pay a $10,000 fine.

There is already work visa programs but that wasn't good enough either. Still flowing into the country illegally. Any reform or legislation means squat if they can't secure the border or get the people staying illegally out of the country. Just keep compromising and compromising while nothing gets done and the economy continues to be flooded.

Why would I get the impression that they want it handed to them for free? I wonder how many have already got more than that in medical services and other programs? At minimum most are guilty of illegal entry and multiple counts of document fraud and/or ID theft. $10K to buy yourself out of criminal charges, a felony record, legal fees, back taxes, restitution and possible jail time and/or deportation starts to look like a bargain.
