Immigration Protests
March 27, 2006

LOS ANGELES — Tens of thousands of students in Southern California have walked out and marched through streets and freeways to protest a proposal making it a felony to be an illegal immigrant.

An L-A-U-S-D spokeswoman says more than 20-thousand students have marked Cesar Chavez Day today by walking out of Los Angeles-area high schools.

Riverside Lieutenant Bob Meier says students passing through the Tyler Mall in Riverside threw bottles and rocks, and arrests have been made. No other details are immediately available.

After one p-m, about three-hundred students and adult supporters marched onto the Harbor Freeway in downtown Los Angeles, forcing C-H-P officers to briefly close the northbound lanes.

The demonstrators walked about a mile before being escorted off. No injuries have been reported.

Police in Orange County say protesters have pelted their cars with rocks and bottles throughout the day, with nobody hurt.

More than 500-thousand people rallied in Los Angeles Saturday against the bill.

Witness the invading army.

Meanwhile, all we were shown on the nightly news was the peaceful gathering at City Hall.......................

I find that very interesting.

Hopefully these wonderful kids will all get kicked out of school.

They gave them an inch, they took a mile!

After no arrests on Saturday, they're pushing the system now.

My husband said he would have expected riots on Saturday had they made any arrests.

This is probably why Charlotte N.C. had no police presence either.

They're all walking on eggshells and they expect to be called names if they do anything. Just look at the mayor of Phoenix. They're trying to get him to apologize to them!

Escondido police stand watch as hundreds of students stream into Grape Park, en route to City Hall, in protest of proposed federal immigration legislation.
SAN DIEGO – More than 1,000 students in San Diego County walked off school campuses Monday morning to protest proposed federal legislation that would crack down on undocumented immigrants.
About 500 students from three high school campuses in the Escondido Union High School District walked out before first period on Monday and marched to Escondido City Hall and Grape Day Park, where they staged noisy protests.

An additional 200 or so staged a similar walk-out from two San Diego high schools, with many of the students heading for a demonstration at Chicano Park.

In San Marcos, about 250 students from Mission Hills High School and 150 from San Marcos High School never went to their first period classes. The groups met up at Palomar College for a demonstration, a district spokeswoman said.

About 75 students from Torrey Pines High School in Carmel Valley waved signs and homemade Mexican flags in front of the campus in a spirited, peaceful protest. School administrators and law enforcement monitored the activity.

“If they're here, that's an unexcused absence, but that's a sacrifice they're willing to make and I support that sacrifice,” Principal Rick Schmitt said.

In Escondido, police called for assistance from the county Sheriff's Department after officers reported students throwing bottles and rocks, Escondido police Lt. Mark Wrisley said. Officers from the San Diego Police Department, Carlsbad Police Department and the California Highway Patrol also provided assistance in Escondido as the day wore on.

“Kids were getting a little out of control,” Wrisley said. No one was injured from the thrown items, police said.

Because of the mass demonstration, Wrisley said police put all the schools in Escondido on lockdown and didn't allow any students to enter or leave the campuses for a period of time.

Students from San Pasqual, Escondido and Orange Glen high schools walked out of class around 7:45 a.m. and began arriving the park within an hour. Some students from Grant Middle School in Escondido also joined the protest.

At one point, about 600 students gathered at Grape Day Park and walked up and down neighboring streets, chanting and holding Mexican flags and protest signs.

Police closed Broadway between Washington Avenue and East Valley Parkway in front of the park and sheriff's deputies in riot gear patrolled Broadway.

Shortly before noon, officers used a loudspeaker to urge students to disperse: “This is the Escondido Police Department, this is an unlawful assembly. You need to get on the buses and go back to school or you will be arrested.”

Students filed onto the four waiting buses while others walked home. Most of the crowd dispersed shortly after noon.

Mayra Mendoza, an 18-year-old senior at Escondido High School, said undocumented workers come to the United States for jobs. “Illegal immigrants are not criminals; they just want to be here to support their families. They are not like terrorists,” she said.

Escondido police arrested 15 juveniles on various charges, including suspicion of vandalism and fighting. One student was pepper-sprayed. A San Diego police officer suffered minor injuries in a motorcycle accident at the protest site, said Escondido police Sgt. Chris Wynn.

Vanessa Rojas, a 15-year-old sophomore from Escondido High, said she saw a girl being pepper-sprayed in the face.

“She started gagging, she couldn't breathe,” she said.

Similar protests were reported around California – where it is Cesar Chavez Day – and in other states as federal lawmakers discuss immigration legislation that would make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally, impose new penalties on those who employ and assist illegal immigrants, and construct a 700-mile fence along the U.S.-Mexican border. A huge protest was held in Los Angeles on Saturday that drew more than 500,000 people.

Superintendent Ed Nelson of the Escondido Union School District said the protests were “somewhat coordinated by someone somewhere.” He said fliers were distributed by a core of students, who encouraged others to leave before classes began.

Some students at Grape Day Park said they read about the protests on the popular Web site myspace.com or heard about it from friends.

Escondido officials sent buses to Escondido City Hall and later to Grape Day Park. Students will be considered truant for the unexcused absence, Nelson said.

“We are encouraging them to get back onto their sites,” Nelson said. “We understand their concerns, but there is hopefully a more appropriate way for them to share those concerns.”

Some students took the buses back to school although others remained to protest at City Hall and other locations.

In San Diego, about 150 students from Gompers High School and 50 to 70 from San Diego High School left school before classes began. Many went to a rally at Chicano Park, said Steven Baratte, a spokesman with the San Diego Unified School District.

By 11 a.m., an estimated 300 people had gathered at Chicano Park, he said.

School police and school administrators trailed the students who left the campuses to make sure students stayed safe. Arrests are not made unless a fight breaks out or other problems develop, Baratte said.

“Usually an administrator from the school goes along as well and tries to encourage the students to come back to school. As long as they are being peaceful and are in protest, we do not arrest them,” he said.

Baratte said he wasn't sure what would happen to the students once they returned to school, but said they would face consequences for leaving the campuses without permission.

“There are consequences and disciplinary action that will take place,” he said. “While we respect their rights to protest and freedom of speech, we also have to respect the learning environment of school and the fact that we are responsible for these students while they are in school.”

Staff writers Debbi Farr Baker, Booyeon Lee, Linda Lou and Sherry Saavedra contributed to this report.

Sounds to me like a whole lot of kids need to be expelled from school.

Mayra Mendoza, an 18-year-old senior at Escondido High School, said undocumented workers come to the United States for jobs. “Illegal immigrants are not criminals; they just want to be here to support their families. They are not like terrorists,” she said.

Notice how the reporter calls them "undocumented workers" but the girl calls them "illegal immigrants". At least she knows what she is. Arlen Specter was calling them "undocumented immigrants", yesterday. He's the head of the "Judiciary" committee and he does'nt even use the correct legal term. Federal law defines them as illegal aliens.

You'd think that an 18- year old high school senior would know the meaning of the word ILLEGAL, wouldn't you? I guess that is another by-product of Mr. Bush's No Child Left Behind program.

And of course those 18 year old high school kids who aren't paying taxes know all about these hard working people who can't support their families so the taxpayers have to feed, clothe, shelter, educate and pay their hosptial bills for them.

What you mean is Anchor Babies Gone Wild. That was what we called the SOS protest at Baldwin Park. Now the whole country can see it, at least those that go on the Internet. The Globalist Propoganda Ministry will whitewash the truth about them.
