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.

The National Park Service is allowing a rally, while they close off war memorials. Talk about double standard.

Obama must be really pissed.  Too bad we don't have better reporters to exploit this with a juxtapose of wheelchair WWII vets being shut out vs the allowed illegal alien march.

Even though isolated barricades with "closed" signs remained on the National Mall on Tuesday, the setup for the immigration reform rally said otherwise.

A giant stage with lights and an "Immigration Reform Now" banner was set up in the center of the mall, along with three large portable screens.

On one side of the mall, more than 100 porta potties were set up for protesters who will attend the rally today.

 

What is the point of having immigration laws if we have garbage like this.
