Hello, Josey,  how are you?  Long time no see.

re: your questions

1. Q: Will this protest change the minds of the august bodies Senate and House of U.S.

    A: No.  They all already know how their constituencies feel.

2. Q: Will this protest open the door to making something illegal legal?

A: One can always hope. Like illegally sitting in at lunch counters in the 60's made it legal -- remember?

Look, if these congressmen were serious about stopping illegal immigration, they'd impose onerous fines on the employers and failing that significant jail sentences. But they're not about to do that. The employers are their lifeblood (read money) and the employers NEED these people. So the government will go on letting as many as they can in to fill the jobs, hoping this all blows over with some tough rhetroic and some dramatic news video, praying that the next cycle of xenophobia comes in an off election year. If worse comes to worst, they'll let the posse comitatus Minutemen lynchers sharpshoot the immigrants as they cross over until the bloodlust of America is finally satisfied, unidentified studies show they'll only be able to kill 20 percent of the illegals. Acceptable losses from human resources perspectives.

Hope that answers your questions.
