Several hundred Oregon children born to undocumented immigrants are expected to march and rally Saturday in Salem.

The children aim to remind lawmakers that the Constitution guarantees their citizenship, said Francisco López, director of the Salem-based CAUSA, an immigrant-rights group.

It's the first time an immigration rally is being held by children in Salem, López said.

A children's march around the Capitol and the Capitol Mall will follow the rally.

Children born to undocumented immigrants living in the United States are citizens as stated in the 14th Amendment of the Constitution and the Immigration Act of 1952.

Efforts to change the citizenship rule for children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants has come up during every Congressional session since 1995, including this year.

But as in the past, proposals introduced this year never made it to a vote.

A broad immigration reform bill was introduced Sept. 29 in the U.S. Senate by Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont. The bill calls for stronger border security to prevent people from entering the U.S. illegally, beefed-up workplace enforcement to limit employment of undocumented workers and cutting delays in legal residents bringing their family members to the U.S.

The bill is not likely to be taken up this year.

"Children are future voters," said Lorena Manzo of Woodburn, whose two children, Diana Sanchez, 12, and Noe Sanchez, 8, plan to participate in the rally.

"They will remember those who want to take away their citizenship," the mother said.

Saturday's gathering will include speeches by children, who are expected to come from Redmond and Bend, as well as from Eugene and Portland.

The event is expected to last about 90 minutes.

How much you want to bet that this woman is an illegal invader and her kids are anchor babies! And once again, more threats from these people about “future voters remembering who tried to take their citizenship away,â€

Bahahahahaha, they won't even remember where they left their coats by then.

MARCH>> MARCH>> MARCH>> PROTEST>>MARCH>PROTEST>>>> WHINE>>> COMPLAIN>>> MOAN about the Inhumane treatment all of you Illegals and your JACKPOT BABIES are receiving here In MY COUNTRY Most of the anchors drop out of school and join GANGS before or during High School. Get out of our country and go back and MARCH IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY for a better life that you desire !!! Take your culture ,your language,and your KIDS back with you. WE DO NOT WANT YOU HERE ANYMORE !!! We have had It with all of your MARCHES,PROTESTS,and waving your filthy Mexican flag In our faces....

ILLEGALS such as Ms Manzo abuse the 14th Amendment to create an anchor for U.S. Citizens to furnish benefits! The Elitist Politicians and Elitist Contributors are socializing benefits to the ILLEGALS for the ILLEGAL EMPLOYERS, veiled as social programs for U. S. Citizens, on the backs of U.S. Citizens through our assets such as the Education System, Social Security, and Health Care not to mention our National Security while privatizing the profits for themselves! The reason the ILLEGALS have the anchors, furnishing a opportune sob story, is to stay in the U.S. to receive the benefits, their anchors are nothing more than throwaways for their agenda; if they were important to the parents they would take their children with them when they returned to their HOME countries . They do not want to be Citizens of the U.S. only to the extent that it would allow the ILLEGALS to remain in the U.S. for our tax money and they will return to their countries as soon as they have drained the U.S. Dry.
