Some carried bilingual signs or U.S. flags. Others carried small children. More than a thousand, primarily Hispanic, protesters congregated Thursday outside the state Capitol in objection to House Bill 1804.



It went into effect at 12:01 a.m. Thursday.

It is one of the toughest immigration enforcement measures in the nation. It prevents illegal immigrants from obtaining driver's licenses or public services. It requires law enforcement to detain and coordinate the deportation of illegal immigrants arrested for felonies or DUIs.

It also criminalizes harboring, concealing or transporting illegal immigrants.

Jose Sifuentes is an American citizen who has worked for the same company for 20 years.

He attended the rally with his wife — who is in the process of becoming an American citizen — and extended family members and friends.

They break the law and it's our fault...

Milton, too, pointed to the common struggles of Hispanics and blacks. But he also noted that the black community itself is still divided on the subject.

The reason they are divided is that this is not about race no matter how hard Roosevelt Milton tries to make it into just that.

The aunt left behind a husband and four children. The husband, also illegal, recently drove the two youngest children back to Mexico. He will try to sneak back across the border so he can work and pay for his family's return, Soto said.

What will it take to get these deportees to STAY in Mexico?

Thanks mkfarnam, Been reading a few comments and noticed that there are a lot of real nice people hanging out on this forum.

If the child doesn't belong to the Illegal then she should be able to get over it easy enough.

Hey Chris-A! Glad to have you here with us!

This is the most resounding truth in the entire article!

This is a lie! The black community is NOT divided. It is overwhelmingly AGAINST this illegal alien invasion. Of course you will always find a few idiots who will allow themselves to be manipulated.

It is appalling that the illegals and their supporters dare to compare their illegal presence in this country with the legitimate Civil Rights Movement of blacks in America. Martin Luther King, Jr. must be rolling over in his grave!

As Harriet Tubman said, "I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves."

Wake up NAACP! You are only being used.
