Thread: Lone voice in the crowd

Reference the Friday rally in Phoenix AZ streets that blocked roads and overwhelmed the well to do Biltmore neighborhood, these comments were in the Republic from a State Representative.

Rep. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, who has emerged as one of the leading opponents of the country’s immigration policies, said the large turnout was to be expected. “I don’t blame these people. They just want amnesty,” he said.

He called the event “outrageous” because so many illegal immigrants should not be allowed to walk down a major Phoenix street without fear of arrest.

“Shame on the city of Phoenix for not enforcing the law,” said Pearce, who has introduced more than a dozen immigration bills this session.

That sentiment was shared by Biltmore area resident Michelle Clark, who discovered all routes to her home blocked by marchers.

“They have no rights. They’re illegal and they’re in our country. We want deportations,” she said. “We’re going to have war.”

Yeah, where are the news stories of AMERICAN'S remarks about these protesters? Where's the AMERICAN voice in the news?

Well, frankly, I don't think the media's interested. They want to tell the story the way they see it, not like it is. It's very unbalanced reporting. They should do "man on the street" interviews with regular Americans to get their take on the disruptions, inconveniences, illegalities, lack of law presence, lack of enforcement, etc., but they won't. They're only interested in getting these poor, abused illegals who just want a better life on tv. Thank God for Lou Dobbs.
