Illinois -- Activist in the suburbs carry out efforts by recovering the spirit of the historic marches of 2006 and 2007 that encouraged scores of thousands of immigrants to take to the streets of Chicago to protest against the Sensenbrenner bill and in favor of immigration reform.

Nevertheless, the reaction of the latin american community in the metropolitan area, two weeks away from the march of May 1 in Chicago, far from being encouraged.

Some latin American business of Waukegan are not responding to the call of the organizers to donate money to hire the buses that would transport the residents from that city to Chicago, indicated activists.

"We only have 30 people that have signed up and we have been asking businesses for aid in order to hire 10 buses for $715 dollars each, but with what has been collected to date we can't even rent one", said Armando Peña, independent activist of Waukegan.

"There is a discouragement on behalf of the businessmen; the people are frightened and they say that with these marches we are going to continue offending the government and they are going to respond with more attacks, but I tell them that we take the example of the Afro-American community and how did they fought for rights", he added.

They NEED $7150 for buses......can't they PAY for anything themselves?
Only 30 have signed up........<smirk>

they say that with these marches we are going to continue offending the government and they are going to respond with more attacks

Interesting........

What happened to all of their funding?

Only one problem with this argument - "Afro-Americans" are citizens, these invaders are not.

Hi ReggieMay,

Being frightened is not in their vocabulary. This "frightened" crap is a ruse to force us to pity the poor border jumpers looking for the "better life" that "we owe them. "

Border jumpers frightened? No way! They're too busy looking for their next rape victims.
MS-13 gang bangers frightened? No, thrill! Their thrill of cutting our throats.
Narcotics dealers frightened? They're laughing their a$$es off while paying off our politicians!

Why should they bother with more mob demonstrations since they've already "won?" They may demonstrate to flaunt their victory. All 3 presidential candidates are their strongest supporters. Whoever wins will do their dirty work.

Thank you for posting that. As a Waukeganite I can add to this. One local activist posted on a May Day planning site that the minutemen were going to come to the next school board meeting to ask that any students that go to this march be expelled. When the minutemen were contacted they said no such plan existed. And that they believed this untruth was stated to stir up the people.

I will be going to this April 22nd school board meeting to see what happens. The local activist said that she was going to hold a press conference that day and invite the media to the board meeting. Last year we had students leave school and march through the streets of Waukegan.

I am encouraged that the local businesses are staying out of this. That's smart. Here is the rest of the article.


Waukegan Other activists are focusing on the distribution of leaflets and scope to the community in general and students in particular.

"In the past, members of the Minuteman (Draft) of Waukegan asked the school board district that does not give them permission to the students to go to the marches and punish those who are leaving school," said Alejandro Dominguez, organizer Center Without Borders.

Dominguez said that on April 22 there will be a meeting of the board of School District 60 to attend to request that the authorities give permission to students who wish to go to the march.

However, Rick Biesada, director of the Illinois Minuteman Project, noted unaware that such efforts have been made (of the Minuteman) in the past and announced that his organization would not carry out a contramarcha.

"We have no intention of asking for the expulsion of students who want to attend the march, and we will not issue a public statement on the matter. If they want to go, it is your prerogative, "said Biesada.

Alely Dominguez, aged 17, student of the fourth graders Waukegan, said that has been given the task of informing their peers about the mobilization and has obtained a good response from them.

"Many agree and say that they will go as on other occasions. And yes, I have heard that they want to ask the expulsion, but I do not think that that happens, parents can call to ask permission for a day for their children, "said the student.

In Joliet, Toribio Barrera said having obtained permission from the Church to Monte Carmelo, as on other occasions, used his local as a starting point for participants in the march.

"I will initiate coordination with the educational authorities of the Central secondary Joliet order to be allowed the students to participate in the march," Barrera.

Hmm local businesses are not contributing. Maybe, they DON'T agree with illegal immigration and resent being shaken down?

I'm sure they can ask Slim Coleman for the bus fare, he's loaded.

I'm offended that these skeevy activists are comparing this to the MLK marches! The African-American who marched were ALL CITIZENS, not uninvited invaders!

Perhaps they are now realizing that their marches are very offensive and encouraged 43 states to pass laws to stop illegal immigration.....the 2 Senate Amnesty bills failed, the DREAM Act failed and now more than ever, we are getting at least some law enforcement cooperation all around the country.

Si se puede! How come the SEIU, ACLU, MALDEF and LA RAZA won't give them money for their rent-an-illegal marches? How about Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition? He won't pay to transport illegal aliens to publicly march for their "imaginary rights"?

The schools do not want to give "permission" to the students because they will not collect the state compensation for absent kids.

If the school lets the Hispanic kids out of school, don't they have to allow ALL the kids out. To do otherwise is DISCRIMINATION.

The activists seem to understand the importance of millions of illegal immigrant school kids attending the protests. Most adults have to work on May 1st.

Did anyone else notice this..
