Protests and rallies over immigration have been all over many parts of the West in recent weeks, but mainly in larger cities. So what does it mean when Boise features a rally of about 5,000 people this weekend?

Protesters were, of course, acting to bring attention to attempts in Washington, D.C. to limit, restrict, or otherwise change the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States.

This rally would have been a wonderful opportunity for the immigration police to round up and deport a significant portion of the illegal alien problem from the great state of Idaho. I recommend that they be better prepared come May 1st when the usual suspects will attempt more of the same. Now is the time for all American patriots to act, before it is too late.
