Peaceful protestors filled the streets
They planned for 50,000 people; they got 75,000 enough to fill Red Rocks Amphitheater seven and a half times.
Immigration issues have become the main topic of discussion from the classroom to the workplace to the bar.
While each side of the story has its own valid points, one thing is clear, something needs to be done.
The protest was peaceful; Denver cops reported no serious problems between protestors and their opposition.
It seems as though the view from legal immigrants and politicians alike is that if you come to our country, fall in, be an American. Coming into America and trying to change the national anthem is an insult to citizens and legal immigrants alike.
President Bush even agrees that re-writing our national anthem is like Americans trying to cross into Canada and rewrite their anthem, it's just rude.
If these immigration marches happened anywhere else, illegal immigrants would likely be forced out without remorse, but that is the beauty of this country, it was founded by immigrants. There is room for more as long as they make responsible contributions to the economy and culture.
