A planned immigration reform rally will take place on the National Mall on Tuesday even though the site is closed due to the government shutdown.

Organizers for the "Camino Americano: March for Immigration Reform" were spotted Monday setting up a stage and equipment on the National Mall for the rally which will take place on Tuesday.

A few scattered barriers around the park have signs informing visitors that the area is closed as a result of the government shutdown.

Susana Flores, a spokesperson for the rally, confirmed for the Washington Examiner that the Park Service will allow the event to take place under the group's rights granted by the First Amendment.

About 30 members of Congress are expected to attend the rally, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J.

The event is hosted by several immigration activist groups, together with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the AFL-CIO.

It's only closed if Obama and the democrats don't agree with the organizers. Try a tax reform protest or something similar the next day and see what happens.

We should apply for a permit then sue them when we get turned down for discrimination and violation of our 1st amendment rights.

Sounds like the truckers should come early if they want to bag Pelosi...

Events that further Obama/Democrat agendas can go on as planned, but screw everyone else. This guy is so beyond an embarrassment. At leas all this crap may finally open some eyes.

I haven't seen it opening eyes so much as driving further wedges between the 2 parties. So people are not going to be as critical as they should be of republicans but see them as the necessary agent of change. The Obama worshipers seem as enamored as ever, that is if one was to believe local media propaganda on these shenanigans.

This type of nonsense makes the blood boil.

[T]he Park Service will allow the event to take place under the group's rights granted by the First Amendment.
That's complete nonsense. If that were the case, then the national parks, memorials, etc. would simply be kept open under the People's rights granted by the First Amendment to peaceably assemble in general. They're selectively recognizing the First Amendment.

It's discrimination... one person, group and/or entity over another.

There's is no doubt, the US Federal Government is the biggest discriminator and rights violator in the country. When do you have too much power? When you can dictate discrimination and sectarian divide for political gain and control.


Man, expect this term of the Barry presidency to get worse as the months go on... as this 'lame duck' dictator will pull every circus-stunt of oppression to keep the Marxists in power come 2014 & 2016.

They should at least have some Park Rangers and a paddy wagon there to make sure that there ain't no recreating going on.

Recreating takes place in the larger, handicapped porta-potties.
