How many ESL students are there in the US?

Crowd plays the "Imperial March" from Star Wars as Ashcroft enters building: story

And while I can't find it there was also, at a Patriot Act "whoo-ha!" rally, a protestor that directly addressed Ashcroft and said "You're fired" and told him that what he was doing was wrong. You didn't see any of that in the liberal media, however...
