World War II veterans were blocked by barricades and armed guards from paying tribute at their memorial last week. However, the national mall where the memorial is located was opened Tuesday to allow hundreds of illegal immigrants to stage a protest demanding amnesty. It wasn’t until some 200 protestors, including numerous Democratic lawmakers, broke permit rules and staged a sit-in on city streets blocking traffic that they were arrested. “We applaud free speech on the National Mall and the ability of all Americans to have access to it equally,” said Rep. Scott Tipton, Colorado Republican. “Unfortunately, the administration has closed the Mall and memorials to some groups and not others, giving preferential treatment under the law. If it’s going to be open for some, it needs to be open for all,” Tipton said.
