You Don't Speak for Me!, a National Coalition of American Hispanics, Speaks
Out Against Illegal Alien Demands for Amnesty

CHICAGO, March 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On March 10, Americancitizens will once again witness the spectacle of hundreds of thousands of lawbreakers taking to the streets of Chicago and other cities, demanding to be rewarded for their actions. This year's planned demonstrations are likely to be more public relations savvy, with protestors waving American
instead of foreign flags, but their goals remain the same: blanket amnesty for millions of people who have broken U.S. laws, compromised the security of the United States, and taken jobs from American workers.

Once again, organizers of the protests will attempt to portray the demands of the illegal aliens as the agenda of all Americans of Hispanic descent. "Nothing could be farther from truth," stated Rosanna Pulido, Illinois spokesperson for You Don't Speak for Me! (YDSFM). "You don't simply show up here uninvited and declare 'We are Americans,' and demand
citizenship. The fact that the vast majority of the illegal aliens in this country are Hispanic does not make an illegal alien amnesty a 'Hispanic issue.' American Hispanics are, first and foremost, Americans who believe in the rule of law and the obligation of the nation to protect the interests of its citizens and the national security."

YDSFM was formed last spring in reaction to massive illegal alien protests and boycotts, and the media's portrayal of illegal aliens speaking on behalf of all Hispanics in the United States. "The brazen attempt by the illegal alien advocacy network to strong-arm concessions from the American
public aroused millions of Americans of all racial and ethnic backgrounds to voice their opposition to amnesty and their support for meaningful immigration enforcement," Pulido continued. "The more Americans are confronted with the shrill and outrageous demands of people who are in the country illegally, taking jobs from and lowering the wages of Americans, taking advantage of public services and benefits, the firmer they become in their belief that our nation's immigration laws must be enforced."
