To the editor — Join our silent protest against the pro-amnesty, pro-open borders march.

Every May 1, undocumented immigrants, legal immigrants and their supporters march through Yakima and across the U.S. demanding amnesty, more benefits for undocumented immigrants and a further opening of our borders.

For the last five years, members of Grassroots of Yakima Valley have stood in silent protest against this movement. Bring American flags or a respectful sign and join us. We have no interaction with the marchers and are well protected by the Yakima Police Department, which uses a line of police cars to keep the marchers on the opposite side of the street. Obviously, the more of us there are, the more influence we wield.

This year we are closer than ever to Congress passing another amnesty or at least legal status for 10 million to 20 million or more undocumented immigrants. If this legislation passes, it will do irreparable harm to the country.

Bring family and friends and join us at 5:45 p.m. Thursday at the northeast corner of Martin Luther King Boulevard and North First Street. Do this for your country, your kids and your grandkids.
