More illegal immigration protests today
About 100 take to a corner in Irvine


The Orange County Register

About 100 people are protesting illegal immigration today on a street corner in Irvine near the Irvine Spectrum shopping and entertainment center.

The group is organized by Sandra Sweet, a Mission Viejo real estate appraiser who also organized a rally on Monday in Santa Ana, to counter May 1 rallies and boycotts by activists favoring immigration reform that loosens restrictions on paths to citizenship.

Sweet's first rally drew about 60 people, while the pro-immigration rallies drew about 30,000.

Irvine police said the rally today is peaceful, and they have no additional officers detailed to it.
