Illegal immigrants demanding rights.

I read a news article about how an illegal immigrant was protesting for rights. I mean wtf. What part of ILLEGAL doesn't he or the americans understand.

Even illegal immigrants have rights in the U.S..
The same as any other person. The bill of rights is not exclusive to a U.S. citizen.

That being said, they are here illegally. This is nothing new. The U.S. government has been turning a very blind eye on illegal immigration across the southern, and to a lesser extent, the northern borders for a very long time.  Suddenly it's a political issue, and a lot of people living in the U.S., albeit illegally are worried that they'll be forceably ejected from the U.S..
