The Looting:

President Evo Morales of Bolivia ordered the military to occupy energy fields around the country on Monday as he placed Bolivia's oil and gas reserves under state control.
Surrounded by soldiers at an oil field operated by the Brazilian energy giant Petroleo Brasileiro, or Petrobras, Mr. Morales ordered foreign producers to relinquish control of all fields and channel future sales of hydrocarbons through the state-owned energy company.

Today, Marcos answered the top functionary of the administration of President Vicente Fox, saying:
'What we are proposing is to defeat the evil governments.'
Referring to Abascal's apparent confusion over what that means, he said:
'I repeat: we will topple the municipal mayors, the state governments and the government of the republic, put them all in jail, kick the bankers, the big mall owners and capitalists out of the country and defeat the capitalist system!'"

Ningun humano es ilegal:

Este dia lo invisible aparecio, tanto en los centros de las grandes ciudades como en las plazas de los pueblos. Cientos de miles - posiblemente millones - de inmigrantes no acudieron a sus trabajos en fabricas, granjas, restaurantes, hoteles y otros comercios desde Los Angeles a Nueva York, de Nueva Orleans a Seattle, entre mas de 50 ciudades donde se celebro Un dia sin inmigrantes, para demostrar la presencia y contribucion de los migrantes a este pais.
A diferencia de la metafora cinematografica, los migrantes no se fueron sin decir adios, sino mas bien se hicieron presentes como nunca en la historia.
