CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Hundreds of latinos gathered at Marshall Park Sunday night to show support for comprehensive immigration reform.

People at the rally said they want the U.S. House and Senate to agree on legislation that would give illegal immigrants a chance to become legal U.S. citizens. The Senate favors a path toward citizenship, but representative of the House haven't seen eye-to-eye with the Senate.

Mario Lopez, originally from Honduras, took his wife and two daughters to the rally. "It's very important to be here," Lopez said, "this is a great country with great opportunities."
