    When they show up at The spots to rally the one`s that are illeagal should be  arrested on the spot at  the  march. If  they are here illegally they have  no rights.

      14h Amendment to U.S. Constitution says that “nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, wthout due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

    The march of the Grijalva/Isabel Garcia Aztlan reconquistas.

    I guess it is up to the Supreme court of the land to determine how Arizona can recognize illegal entrants while B.O. and his administration just don’t want to know who is here illegally.

    I’ll give them one thing, though-
    May 1st – Hope the Commies who are really behind this “May Day” event don’t get discovered- Illegals can still display some patriotism to America and kick some pinko butts when they find out they have been used.

      I’m relieved, Mr. Greece.  I was afraid you were that guy in the bunker up in Washington State. 

      • Fraser007

        Leftfield (I like that better than unrepentant commie) I know you wont be at the march. You will be at home in the flickering light in your basement watching old VHS tapes of the of May Day parade in Red Square!! From 1935/1936….1969/1970/1973……Oh wait they stopped that in 91? Or maybe its still going on? But maybe you have cable from Havana? problem is they military vehicles are 1968 rusting Russian tanks!….LOL

        • Your_Uncle_Karl

          A rose by any other name…, fraser.  According to your friend Rep. Allen from FL, there are 80 communists amongst the Democrats in the House of Representatives.  Either they will be watching with me, or you guys really should be very embarassed to be associated with and elect people like that.

       The Obama administration has been deporting immigrants in record numbers for about three years now. What is a “commie” anyway, say, versus a democrat or republican or independent?

      • justlikegreece

        When you say “deporting” in record numbers, you do know that means literally turning back crossers at the border.
        Like the Supreme Court Justice mentioned in SB1070 questioning-
        “This administration really doesn’t want to know who is legal and who is not, do they?” 

        You REALLY don’t know what a Communist is?

        Maybe you should have been one of the whole 100 people who stood around the park- Anyone of those scary looking people holding one side of a banner that has the first word (possessive)  ”People’s” would explain what is a Communist to you. 
        Or you could have asked Raul’s henchman who I understand was standing in for him-

        It’s election year after all and even Grijalva couldn’t be seen with any members of the American Communist Party, even though they had given him an award just last year.

        • Ernie_McCray

           And compared to a democrat or a republican or an independent what is a “commie?” I’ve never really understood Americans’ fear of Commies. When I was at the U I belonged to a group called Students for Equality; our purpose was to strike down Tucson’s Jim Crow laws. The City Council wouldn’t even let us speak because ONE of our members was a communist, a brilliant woman who stood for human rights. She was trying to make it possible for me to buy a hamburger at some greasy spoon white cafe and we were villified for having her as a part of our organization. Made no sense to me. Makes no sense to me.

          • justlikegreece

            Fine, makes no sense to you.
            You are suggesting that the Communist party is
            just another political association, and I am suggesting that followers of the Communist system are responsible for slaughtering the most human beings in history- And that being a party member is, in many ways, condoning same.  Make sense now?

          • Ernie_McCray

             I’m suggesting that we are all “human beings” and no blanket definition can be made to describe people based on philosophies that appeal to them. Hedi, the woman I wrote about was as far from being a person who would condone the slaughtering of human beings as anyone could be. There has, however, been a lot of slaughtering, lately, in Afghanistan and Iraq and Pakistan, in which our country has been very deeply involved – making for a lot of condoners in our midst, don’t you think? I have a few commie friends who have stood against this in a variety of ways, all peaceful.

          • justlikegreece

            You just wouldn’t get it. It is because you are not Estonian- That’s correct, you are an Eston-ite. I should not get accused of things just because I wear a little short red vest.   

            Name the top two worst mass-murderers in human history, and I’ll even give you a head start- They aren’t American or even republicans.
            Now a bat and a ball cost $1.10 together- The bat cost $1.00 more than the ball, what’s the price of the ball? And if you say 10 cents, I swear that is what the bat is for.

          • tunkashila

            Thank you for playing Non-Sequitur Theater…what Estonians, the nationality/politics of history’s worst mass murders or a 5th-grade word math problem have to do with the points he made is beyond the comprehension of rational beings. 

          • Ernie_McCray

             Really. One would not have a clue as to what I’ve said if they only read justlikegreece’s statements.

  • Carolyn_Classen

    Several hundred people marched today and later listened to speakers at Armory Park, such as District 5 Supervisor Richard Elias, who spoke of “justice on the border” and the need to get out & vote for change.  Also in attendance were former Ward 5 Councilmember Steve Leal, Pima County Public Defender Isabel Garcia, and Ruben Reyes for CD 7 Congressman Raul Grijalva.

    • justlikegreece

      Ruben Reyes? Ruben Reyes? Is he that genius who pulled opposing candidate’s signs out of the trunk of his car in front of a current Republican candidate? The one that is hitched to the council member also named Grijalva? THAT Ruben Reyes ? The one who runs the County King Fish’ clubhouse…I mean office?

      Yeah, I bet THAT was inspiring in this heat. How many “People’s Party” signs were waving this fine day in complete lock step support of a loaf like that?

      • Carolyn_Classen

        Yes, Ruben Reyes who is District Director of Congressman Grijalva’s office in Tucson, and married to Ward 1 Councilmember Regina Romero. 

      • Fraser007

        You just defined how Tucson operates. Its the manual. Then add the corrupt folks who gave us Rio “I just stole $230,000,000″ Nuevo with the liberal democrats who run the City Council and you have our future. We deserve it because we keep re-electing the crooks.
