Great point made by founder of DailyKos (best political site ever):

In other news today:

More than 200,000 people gathered on the National Mall today to participate in March for America, a rally advocating comprehensive immigration reform.

Organized by Reform Immigration for America, the rally brought together groups from around the country — including Service Employees International Union, Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service, United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, Democracia Ahora and the Coalition for Human Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles — to send a message to lawmakers: "The time for immigration reform is now."

President Obama delivered a message from the big screens in the crowd in which he assured the demonstrators of his commitment to passing comprehensive immigration reform.

200,000? If 30,000 teabaggers mean the world is against health care reform, then this is a bona fide landslide. By the new rules of Fox News, that means that immigration reform is now the law of the land. Yay!
Also, check out the comments. Progressives have finally embraced immigration as one of our core values.

I'm very glad several people were able to attend this rally. Other sources claim it was well over 500,000 people! I live on the west coast and what an exciting trip it would have been. Unfortunately, it's a huge distance from here and it would have been a hassle to find the time.
