Heroes No, Illegals Yes

Coincidence?
For a week now, the WWII and other war memorials in Washington, D.C. have been closed due to the government shutdown. We've seen the veterans, who came from all parts of the country, barricaded from these memorials. To make matters worse, families of fallen soldiers have now been told they would have to foot the bill for transportation and funerals for these soldiers, and that benefits would be temporarily withheld, due to the shutdown.

But today, the national mall in D.C., the very same place which has been closed to the veterans, was wide open to thousands of illegal aliens who held a rally for immigration reform.

So, why shut the park for veterans, but open it for illegal aliens? This move would only outrage a lot of people. So why, then? Why would those in government responsible for who gets in and who stays out of the D.C. mall, poke Americans in the eye like this?
