MONTGOMERY, Alabama — Organizers for immigrant groups and civil rights organizations are planning a two-day meeting and march in Montgomery to advocate repeal of Alabama's immigration law.

The Immigrant National Convention says the meeting Dec. 16 will include two of the Freedom Riders from the civil rights movement. They will discuss how that movement relates to today's debate over the state's tough immigration law.

The group plans a march Dec. 17 from the state Capitol to the governor's mansion. A spokeswoman says participants in the march will include the presidents of the NAACP, the National Council of La Raza, and the Service Employees International Union.

Note: the comments are worth a read.

This sort of activity tyicks off more people who are citizens and voters than it recruits. There should be a visible presence of people with signs for groups with pro enforcement positions. That way instead of just getting angry they can join. We could not pay them enough to get the amnestyists to work for us yet they do it for free.
