I'm not advocating this but I'm wondering what would happen to the various marches if INS (or whatever they're called now) let it be known that they'd have enforcement officers at these events since they had reason to believe that people illegally in the country would be present?
What authorities do they have to ask for ID and restrain? Back in college I had reason to commute every weekend between Bellingham, WA, and Seattle on Greyhound. Every Sunday night before the bus left Bellingham (which is about 30-40 miles south of the Canadian border) and INS agent would board and ask random people for ID. This was a bus that never left the country, just did this shuttle run.
Could INS show up and just start asking random people for some proof of legality?
