Just back from the Indianapolis immigration march [View All]

I went because a lot of my friends I've met playing soccer are illegal. I've come to know them and their families and I wanted to be with them on this. The Indianapolis Star predicted 1,000 participants initially and then upped the estimate to 5,000. Well, there were a lot more than that. Anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000. No one knows.

The demonstration was peaceful, happy, and orderly. The only downers were the lines of police along the route who glared at the marchers. There was no trouble.

Personally, I like these people. Hard-working, ambitious, and strongly familial. I say give them a chance to be citizens. Treating them like dirt isn't the way we are. If Lou Dobbs doesn't like it, well, too bad.

Si, se puede!
