Local residents who say they are motivated by the recent show of force among Hispanics throughout the nation and here in Atlanta plan two separate protest rallies against illegal immigration at the state Capitol over the next three days.

A Smyrna mother-daughter duo, Pam Pinkard and Donna Walker, are staging "Americans' Job and Tax Rally" at 3 p.m. today. The women say they're relying on e-mail and word-of-mouth to draw people to their event, and have no idea how many will show

On Monday, D.A. King of Marietta is holding a noon rally at the Capitol to protest recent calls by illegal immigrants for amnesty.

King, founder of the Dustin Inman Society — an anti-illegal immigrant group — has a far more organized network, although his most successful rally to date, held earlier this year, only drew about 75 people.

King said he believes rallies around the nation by illegal immigrants and their allies, including a Monday rally in Atlanta that drew an estimated 40,000 people, have stirred Americans to action.

"Let me say that I am very, very grateful to the illegal alien amnesty lobby for putting these rallies on," King said Friday. "I probably have received 5,000 e-mails, people asking me to do something to respond to the illegal aliens and their supporters rallying in the streets and demanding unconditional citizenship in this country."
