San Antonio activists will be among protesters in front of the Lincoln Memorial on Sept. 15 for a national Grito de Dolores.

Instead of marking Mexican independence, however, they will call for immigrant human rights in the face of state-led initiatives they view as draconian and discriminatory.

Co-organizer Jaime Martinez, head of the César E. Chávez Legacy and Educational Foundation in San Antonio, said the march, led by a group called Viva El Pueblo Latino, will advocate for comprehensive immigration reform, family unification and passage of the DREAM Act.

As Mexican President Felipe Calderón delivers the traditional Grito de Dolores in Mexico City at midnight Sept. 15, marchers in Washington will showcase Viva El Pueblo Latino's human rights agenda, founder Dr. Eduardo Ibarra said.

Ibarra said one of its guiding principles is that “no law should promote discrimination against any human being due to the color of her or his skin, origin, language, religion or economic status.â€

Don't forget your mexican flags and your signs in spanish!!






American's have gotten fed up with your marches and your just adding fuel to the fire by your non-sense.



GET GONE!!

That is funny. Come into ones nation illegally and then protest for civil rights. I would think they could just go back to their home turf and fight for the same things. I am sorry,I forgot. They would not get all the free handouts they get here. Bunch of muchers and losers!

Where I come from "grito" means scream. So they're going to have a screaming march? Go ahead, it'll fall on deaf ears. ya don't belong here, now BEGONE!

When the hell have any of us heard illegals use the words "Draconian or Discriminatory?" more like "Me no pay!" and "You no good!"

Instead of marking Mexican independence

They come to America and many are illegal aliens and they celebrate MEXICO's independence on our soil. Everything they do or say is in Spanish and that includes these marches or protests. Seems to me they are in the wrong part of the world and definitely in the wrong country to be doing this. And on top of all this they expect us to oblige them. Appears, it should be the other way around,don't you think? They need to go the hell back to where they once belonged.

These reconquista criminals have become much too comfortable protesting and demanding rights in this country.
