It's not clear how many people will show up for Tuesday's rally. A May Day demonstration last year drew about 1,000 people.

I understand they need these people to work on the farms in South Ga. I also understand that alot of these people wish to better themselves. That all fine and well. Do it legally.
What about how much it cost taxpayers to pay for babies being born here to illegal immigrants? What about food stamps? What about the drugs being brought in to our country? etc???
This has gone on for years, now we're having to pay the price to clean it up. Stop by immigrantion first! Next stop should be, you want to contribute like the rest of us stop by and fill out your tax forms correctly.
