Peaceful rally for uncontrolled borders and immigration amnesty snarls Loop traffic

cbs2chicago.com: Chicago news, weather, traffic: Protesters Rally Against Illegal Immigration Bill:

"As CBS 2 Chief Correspondent Jay Levine reports, the protesters -- of Polish, Irish, Latino, Chinese and many other nationalities -- gathered at Union Park, at Ashland Avenue and Lake Street, and marched to the Loop. From the air, it appeared to be an endless sea of demonstrators, flooding the streets to protest the recently-passed house bill, which would make it a crime to hire or even help undocumented immigrants."

Notice they don't mention any protestors being of American nationality - surely this is an oversight.

And, BTW, it is already a crime to hire foreign workers who are here without a green card. The House bill merely tries to put more teeth in the enforcement of that law although it will not have any effect since the administration won't enforce the law no matter how strongly it is written.

It is an oversight. There were a lot of us there.
