Eight members of Young Conservatives of Texas protested President Barack Obama’s immigration policies on the West Mall on Tuesday, attracting more than 100 counter-protesters.

The conservatives gave a mock demonstration of a U.S.-Mexico border crossing during which they placed a blue line on the ground and gave out free “green cardsâ€

The people supporting the ILLEGALS are Special Interest Groups and Elitist Political Contributors that benefit from the ILLEGALS Monetarily at the expense of United States Citizen Taxpayers. I REPEAT; Once again the Elitist Politicians and their Elitist Political Contributors consider United States citizens only as “units of laborâ€

They likely came illegally and received green cards under the NACARA amnesty, which was for those fleeing the Civil War in Central America even though most were not qualified political refugees and in fact many were Communists, probably including her parents.

Cindy Quintanilla, a spokeswoman for the Latino Leadership Council, described the border-crossing demonstration as both disrespectful and hurtful to the immigrant community.

LOL

Ignorance displayed in the source article "comments" by the Elitists.

Members said the fake green cards and candy represented easy amnesty and government entitlements, such as health care and welfare services. The giveaways expressed the group’s view that Obama’s immigration policies would open the border and make it easier for illegal immigrants to enter the U.S.

They should have confronted the counter protesters and demanded payment for the costs of printing the fake green cards and all the candy! Oh the irony would have been delicious.
