(Reuters) – U.S. Hispanics and Democratic lawmakers furious over Arizona’s harsh crackdown on illegal immigrants expect huge weekend rallies across the United States, piling pressure on President Barack Obama to overhaul immigration laws in this election year.
Protest organizers said on Wednesday outrage over the Arizona law — which seeks to drive illegal immigrants out of the state bordering Mexico — has galvanized Latinos and would translate into a higher turnout for May Day rallies in more than 70 U.S. cities.
“The marches and demonstrations are going to be far more massive than they otherwise would have been,” said Juan Jose Gutierrez, a Los Angeles rally organizer who runs an immigration assistance company.
The backlash began on Friday after Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed into law a measure that requires state and local police to determine a person’s immigration status if there is “reasonable suspicion” they are undocumented.

B.S. Report–Legal immigrants have rights. And with a few exceptions, naturalized citizens have nearly the same rights as native-born citizens. But just what are the rights of “illegal” immigrants? There has to be something beyond the right to demand money from legal citizens in the form of welfare, medical care and literally hundreds of other assistance programs.
We just went through this a few years back and I don’t think Americans are going to be any more receptive this time around. Personally, I’m a bit put off when people who are in this country illegally start lecturing us about their rights.
I was always taught that there is no such thing as rights without corresponding responsibilities. It’s time we pressure both political parties to end this welfare magnet that is draining our resources and once and for all take control of our borders and our sovereignty.
