Dane Schiller: Thousands March on U.S. Embassy, Chant Gringos Out of Mexico!

Hundreds of police in riot gear guarded the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City Monday as thousands of protestors marched on the symbol of American power.

"Gringos out of Mexico," chanted the crowd of transportation workers that hoisted signs, balloons and included an effigy of America defecating on Mexican President Vicente Fox and another of a nude George Bush.

The marchers also held a minute of silence for would-be undocumented immigrants who died while sneaking into the United States, and then broke into the Mexican national anthem.

Despite the sometimes heated emotions, the marchers were peaceful.

It was the first of as many as five major labor marches in Mexico City today, with the one most likely to bring heat on the U.S. Embassy scheduled for noon with Subcomandante Marcos, the masked rebel leader, famous for leading an armed force in the southern state of Chiapas.

Mexico traditionally has many marches on Labor Day, but the twist this year is that they are also taking up the cause of immigration in the United States and showing solidarity with the U.S. boycott.

Fair enough.  You get all your damnable illegal alien citizens out of our country, and we'll get all ours out of yours...
