Of course there is a problem of undocumented migrants, but to go after them and attack them is the lowest form of opportunism I have seen in years in California.

We've got to stand up and take charge. This is a revolution.

Unless we address the root cause of immigration ---- willing workers who are being hired by U.S. citizens ---- the immigration problem will not be solved.

We have a whole new dynamic brewing here -- a new social movement of sorts in the debate over immigration.

This wave of shootings created a whole lot of tension, and to this date that tension has not dissipated. We hope that this goes to prosecution.

This was supposed to stop the illegal immigration flow. It's only been successful in killing people.

Coverage of the border has now been reduced to the vigilantes coming to the border and those who protest against them.

Already, this is the deadliest year in 10 years and knowing that the hottest part of the year is a month from being over, we are potentially looking at a disaster.

That kind of irresponsibility has caused fringe elements to come out of the woodwork looking like patriots.

It's beginning to turn out to be quite an impressive day. In these first hours of the boycott and work stoppage, it seems to be having an effect already.

It's not about numbers. The only numbers that matter are (how many) people in the country are finding out about this issue and calling the White House, the governor and other elected officials.

Immigrants do make contributions. Everyday life in the U.S. has a piece of immigrants.

I don't think (the police and district officials) understand what is at stake for these kids and their families. Immigration is a concern talked about regularly over dinner and around the television set.
