As many as 100,000 marchers crammed the streets of the Near West Side and the Loop Friday, demanding better treatment for immigrants and opposing a bill that they say would deem many of them criminals.

The marchers waved American flags, chanted at deafening levels and snarled traffic for five hours.

The rally turnout was impressive -- as much as 10 times some predictions -- and politicians lined up in support, even though many of the marchers can't or don't vote.

"Those who are undocumented, we are not going to make criminals out of them," Mayor Daley said. "Everyone in America is an immigrant."

1. It would be a lot better...

If those 100,000 souls increased their numbers and marched in Sensenbrenner's district. Appleton WI, if I recall correctly.
