Immigration rallies held at US Embassy in Mexico

More than 300 opponents of Arizona's new immigration law are protesting at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City, chanting "Obama, keep your promise" and demanding legalization for undocumented Mexican workers in the United States.

Mexico's president has blasted the law aimed at deporting illegal immigrants as "discriminatory," but citizens in Mexico have held few public protests. There were larger demonstrations Saturday in Arizona and California, as well.

Critics of the law say it could lead to racial profiling. Supporters say Arizona is trying to enforce immigration laws.
