And after spending a day or less in jail, they're just being let go. WTFOften wearing T-shirts declaring themselves "undocumented and unafraid," the protesters have sat down in streets and blocked traffic, or occupied buildings in several cities including Phoenix and Tucson.
Abso-freakin-lutely. If I want to become a citizen of another country, I have to go through whatever process they have for citizenship. I can't just show up and say "ok, I'm here. Make me a citizen."Steven Camarota, research director at the Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank in Washington, D.C., that supports tough immigration enforcement, doesn't think civil disobedience now will sway public opinion to the degree that the civil-rights movement did.
"It's not clear to most Americans that this is analogous to the civil-rights movement. In the civil-rights movement, you had American citizens demanding equality. In this case, you have people who aren't supposed to be in the country demanding the rights of citizens, and to most Americans, or at least a large fraction, that is not roughly the same thing."
But why are you risking ANYTHING? Go through the freakin process. If you think it's too tough, go back to whatever hole you crawled out of. Has our entitlement mentality gotten so bad that it's spreading to undocumented workers that think it applies to them too?"It's empowering," said Carlos Garcia, director of Puente Arizona. "But what it really comes down to is challenging the law itself and us being able to tell the stories of undocumented people and why they are risking everything."
