PHOENIX -- More than 100 anti-illegal immigration demonstrators have gathered outside Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl's headquarters in north central Phoenix to protest an immigration deal that they call amnesty.

A large police presence was at the scene as well, where some protestors as young as 8 years old and others in their 70s and 80s gathered to make their voices heard.

The group marched on Kyl's office at 9 a.m., but he was not there.

Waving American flags and carrying signs saying the "Dream Act is a Nightmare," "Honk for No Amnesty," and "Recall Kyl," protesters are walking the sidewalk in front of Kyl's office.

Michelle Delacrose with Mothers Against Illegal Aliens is calling for Kyl to reconsider his position or resign.

"Unbelievable. Senator Kyl knows that we don't want amnesty here. He's claiming that the people from Arizona want a compromise. We don't want a compromise, we've never wanted a compromise," Delacrose said.

"We don't have enough police -- we've got sanctuary orders. Our kids are going to school with people who don't even belong here," she said.

Delacrose's anger is not just limited to Kyl. She says presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain can't make his own state safe, much less the nation.

It did become heated when former state lawmaker Alredo Gutierrez showed up to taunts from the illegal immigration protestors.

"Traitor, traitor, traitor," the crowd chanted.

Anti-illegal immigration groups delivered their petitions to Kyl's office. He was in Washington.

Most of the anti-illegal immigration protestors were turned away from Kyl's Phoenix office as they delivered petitions opposing his stand on illegal immigration.

"It's just sort of insulting that they wouldn't let us walk in," Delacrose said.

"Our dignity was really crushed," Delacrose said.

She said American citizens are being shut out and held at bay.

"And if you're against illegal immigration, they're just pushing you away," Delacrose said. "Basically, we're not invited to the party, if you will. And the reality is the party is in our house, and we can't even go to the party -- it's not even fair."

Delacrose was happy with the turnout.

"I'm just excited. This is a wonderful turnout... We've got probably about 100 people here. When you think about it starting at about 5 o'clock in the morning, we had about 50 people," Delacrose said.

Rick Galeener and Stephanie Harris with United for a Sovereign America said it's amnesty any way you slice it.

"If this thing sails through, we will have another civil war in this country. I hate to say it," says Galeener.

"We're not only upset at Kyl. But we are upset because he did lie to us. He said he would not compromise," said Harris. "(The) American people need to get off their butts and think, yes it will pass."

"It will pass because not enough Americans, for a long period of time, have been upset -- as upset as they are now," Harris said.

Galeener said Congress doesn't want to stop the problem, because big government and industry want cheap labor.

"As long as they're getting their cheap labor, the American middle class is going to get it stuck to them," Galeener said.
