Has the group read this email? If she does work as a Director for the UNO Org., Is she speaking for that organization as well?

It is sad to learn the ignorance and insensitivity of some of our young professionals.

Marching to a different drummer

By Esther J. Cepeda

It’s that time of the year, folks.

The time when thousands of mostly-Hispanic defenders of immigrants’ rights will declare to non-Latino America how much they love and want to stay in the United States by marching around major cities bearing the flags of their homeland.

Yes, the time when the same people who will press you on the myriad ways immigrants thanklessly toil for this country, working endless hours in fields, restaurants, and factories, will skip work to parade through the streets en masse to call attention to their very existence.

Yep, the time when the same parents who look you in the eye and tell you they came to the U.S. to give their children hope for a bright future through the benefit of an American education will pull them out of school to stroll down crowded streets chanting “Si se puedeâ€

These people are unbelievable!
Here are more demands. I guess steeling healthcare isn’t enough; they now want special care for their woman (anchor baby machines)
They call it “immigration is a matter of reproductive justiceâ€

HUH ?
OK , All American's please bend down and kiss an Illegals butt for there Thankless toil for our country .

No WAY , that just isn't going to happen . Very few Citizens get thanked like ya'll speak of . You break our Laws , take our jobs and lower the working wage down to spit . And you want WHAT ??
GET out . Illegals are law breakers . America will get her Pride and Honor back , it's just a matter of time for us .

When will the entitlement mentality end? I hope they march again. The fence sitters in this country need another kick in the butt to get them motivated to stand up and say enough is enough. No amnesty, no social services, no jobs, and no more taxpayer funded anything.

No such luck this time.

OMG! The Little Village People! I was just reminiscing on another forum about how furious they were when the police arrested criminals from their raza. It did not matter that they were running a multimillion dollar ID theft ring. They could have been building nuclear weapons and the Little Village People would not have cared. They were upset because they police had rifles when they came in.

And this woman is right- they really did make a scene. Crying, screaming, rending their garments and so on. It was actually kind of funny.

The Little Village is having drug wars just like the border area.
Yes, Chicago is well on it’s way to becoming the next LA. Just like LA the Chicago police are getting heavy-duty guns.
Can to say LA, Illinois?

UPDATE: Trio Found Dead In Little Village Home

CHICAGO -- Just a week after five people were found shot to death on the South Side, two men and a woman were found bound and gagged and shot to death in a Little Village home on the West Side this morning.

Police found the bodies after making a well-being check in the 2800 block of South Kildare at about 6:40 a.m., according to police News Affairs Sgt. Antoinette Ursitti. Once the officers entered the home through the back door they discovered the three victims. The victims are adults, Ursitti said.

All three were bound and tied. It appeares drugs may be involved, a police source said. (sounds like the drug cartels)

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s office said an autopsy is scheduled Thursday for the two men and woman, who were apparently found bound up with duct tape.

Neighbors said a For Rent sign had been in the window of the building up until three or four days ago.

They also said there have been several drive-by shootings in the neighborhood since the first of the year because of a war between two gangs.

“I was expecting this,â€
