To me this is an example of stupidity on the part of the protest organizers. Having the children behave in a disrespectful manner, using obscenities and inappropriate gestures does nothing to garner support for their cause. If anything it galvanizes and supports the narrative put forth by many that the illegal immigrants are lawless and bound to be a burden on the nation, thereby proving their point for them.

So in this case when given an opportunity to showcase the desperation of the poor and their having to send their children away to a strange country for a better life, and gain the support of the people of the host nation they instead show us a bunch of ungrateful, in- disciplined, juvenile delinquents of which we have plenty on hand domestically with no need to import any more.

My experience has shown that those that immigrate and become citizens legally are more likely to be patriotic to their adopted country. When it comes easily, it and the country that they illegally entered are disrespected. A VP that I once worked for had a saying, "That which is free, has no value."

This reminds me of the kind of thing you'll hear if you walk through a cell block. Every convict will protest their innocence. Thus, I am not surprised when illegal aliens shout and curse (and make coarse gestures) protesting their rights to trespass whenever and wherever they want.
