why should i have sympathy for you when there
are good people who will obey our rules no matter
how crazy or long it takes to become citizen or
a documented visitor.
Wow ed!
I wonder what you think of empathy?
Did you ever stop and think about what drives people to risk life and limb, humiliation, jail, etc... to cross into the US or EU or the like?
While I agree with you that this does not justify illegal immigration, illegal work, non tax-paying residents, and all of that, I cannot understand your over-reaction to a protest the purpose of which was people asking for their status to be *legalized*! They then can start contributing openly and declare their jobs and start paying taxes etc...
and another thing... dont fly your bullshit flag
in my country over my country's flag.
Certainly, abuse of people's origin, ethnicity, flags and the like contributes nothing to solving anyone's problems.

sorry for the rant
I can understand your frustration, but take it easy and stop and think about these people's circumstances and what drove them out of their homes to begin with.
As an expat living abroad, I see the opposite side of the coin and it's not pretty. I just wanted to present another point of view on this.
