200,000 people came together on the Mall in DC to demand Immigration Reform measures that would allow for a more streamlined legal entry in to the United States.

4. They did show up

But they wouldn't dare saying a word (And I guess HCR took much of their attention). This crowd was unbelievable. I have never been in a march this big.

8. And that got no media coverage whatsoever

As an immigrant who filled all the paperwork and waited in line long hours, I am not 100% on the side of the illegal immigrants, but I see where they're coming from.

The #1 issue with illegal workers are their employers, who are happy to get their hand on cheap slave labor who will obviously not unionize unless they want to face deportation.

Food Inc. illustrated this point very well.

We also have a lot of folks who don't pay taxes and whom we don't know who they are. They don't use the telephone, or when they do it's public pay phones. They barely use the Internet. As sad as it is to say, Homeland Security can't put a tag on them, as they are basically untraceable. No social security numbers or fake ones.

Some of them may be up to no good (drug and human traffickers).

Plenty are hard working, honest folks who actually love the United States. I believe these are the ones who we should extend an invitation to.

Of course, most will then become American and, like most immigrants, will vote Democratic.

I think that's what bothers the Republicans the most.

If they were gun toting conservatives, immigration reform would pass 1-2-3.
