Immigrant rights groups rally across the U.S

Raids' impact Organizers said Tuesday’s turnout will be lower because stepped-up raids in recent months have left many immigrants afraid to speak out in public — a major change over rallies in 2006 when some illegal immigrants wore T-shirts saying “I’m illegal. So what?” “These raids have torn apart families,” said John Crockford, a member of the Central California Coalition for Immigrant Rights. In Fresno, organizers planned a rally focusing on children whose parents had been deported. The San Joaquin Valley is home to thousands of seasonal workers who work illegally each year in the fields and construction industry. |
