Tens of Thousands Bring their Pro-Amnesty Message to Washington

Funded by business groups, unions, religious organizations, and private foundations, “tens of thousands” of pro-amnesty, open-borders supporters took over the National Mall in Washington D.C. on Sunday pushing for immigration reform.

The “March For America” tried to reignite immigration reform, including a mass amnesty for the estimated 11 million illegal aliens living in the United States, despite signals from the White House that reveal little to no interest in taking on the controversial issue before the mid-term elections this fall.

Reform Immigration for America, who organized the march, said the turnout was bigger than rallies held in 2006 before legislation failed to get enough votes in both 2006 and 2007. But the historic health care reform vote that took place in Congress on Sunday stole attention away from the march.

Last week, just before the march, Senators Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) announced the outline for a comprehensive immigration bill that would provide a mass amnesty, create a national biometric ID card, and create a guest worker program. While the bills’ outline was drawn up with bipartisan support, Sen. Graham has warned that the bill will receive little support from Republicans if health care reform was passed.
