SAN DIEGO (AP) - A woman with a Mexican flag and a man ran onto the field at Petco Park while the Arizona Diamondbacks were batting against the San Diego Padres in the third inning Wednesday night.
 

The two apparently were protesting Arizona's immigration law.  Both were quickly apprehended by security and led off the field.
 

The man ran onto the field from the stands along the first base line and was tackled in foul territory.  The woman ran into shallow left field.  They ran onto the field just after Joe Saunders grounded out to open the inning.
 

There were dueling protests outside the downtown ballpark before the game, with one group favoring the law and the other opposing it.  Several police officers kept an eye on the protesters.

Last year I was speeding - 62 in a 55. I got a ticket, had to do defensive driving, take off work to go pay my ticket etc. Why is it that those living here illegally are not held to the same standards? I broke the law, I got a ticket.

Illegals aliens and muslims must be removed fron the U.S.A.

if you're not here legally then you shouldn't be here at all.we can't just go to other countries and live and work illegally like what happens here, they deport you no ifs ands or buts about it!!!!

Total absolute disregard for our laws and our society!! NO AMNESTY EVER!!!

And the last time you saw a Tea Party person do that was.... Oh right, NEVER.
