Immigration Rally in Phoenix

I attended the immigration rally in Phoenix on Monday- how odd it was to attend a Labor Day event where illegal immigrants were protesting their rights- rights to what?

While the organizers of the event were suprised by the less than expected turnout, they made it clear that the event was organized to promote voter registration. This, too, was odd given the fact that in Arizona is one of a few states where proof of citizenship is required prior to voting.

While We Are America did manage to keep the Mexican flags to a minimum, I did notice many American flags. Unfortunately, We Are America should consider giving seminar on proper use and care of the flag. I witnessed flags being used as clothing, attached to stroller and dragged down the street and a host of other abuses.

The attendance for this rally, as I said was significantly less than the hundreds of thousands that marched in the Spring. Perhaps, the immigrants have realized that voter registration for an illegal immigrant is just not going to work.
