A March on Dallas for Immigration Reform
To the sound of drums and the sight of American flags, more than 25,000 people — a microcosm of a national movement — marched on Dallas City Hall on Saturday in the latest episode in the never-ending Texas immigration saga.
The crowd, smaller than expected, congregated at Dallas’ Cathedral Shrine of the Virgen de Guadalupe and succeeded in carrying on a 1960s-style peaceful demonstration. But the protesters drew counterprotesters, and the day produced some severe juxtapositions: For instance, a security guard whose bicep bore the tattooed likeness of Ernesto “Che” Guevara, the Argentine Marxist revolutionary, marching by a counterprotester’s sign ...

Antonio, you're making a gruesome neo-Confederate argument right there. Just so you know. And I'm being kind when I describe it as such.
Christopher Thornton, I have a feeling that the Texas Tribune will continue to disappoint you.

Since when is Libertarian Federalism rooted strictly in the South, Connor? LOL. We are EVERYWHERE, and we are EVERY RACE. Perhaps you prefer East L.A.'s and Houston's negative aspects moving to YOUR home town?

Pockets of thousands of children, born here, but that don't speak proper English? City governments mortgaged to the hilt, unable to pay for their assimilation, aka EDUCATION? People's taxes going up exponentially to pay for the education of non-citizens while our OWN citizens don't have decent classrooms in many areas? Besides your empty, liberal little stump-speech, Connor, is there anything factual or a solution with some data that you care to contribute?

Samatha,what state are you in? I am a college-educated non-hispanic white who happens to live in the great state of TEXAS! If you check out the comments on internet,very few people write proper english...it has been made as "easy" as it can be,to fill out legal paperwork!! You just have to GO DO IT!!! Every country has certain forms that must be filled out in order to be there LEGALLY!!! If you can't speak english, there is someone to translate for you. VERY EASY... I don't know where you live,but I am sure there are people who do not speak "proper English,according to YOU!!! Find another state to slur,maybe your own!!!
