SHENANDOAH, SCHUYLKILL COUNTY - Illegal immigration and crime concerns brought dozens of people out Saturday afternoon in Schuylkill County.

A picnic and protest rally was held Saturday afternoon at Bicentennial Park in Shenandoah. People say they're upset by the problems illegal immigrants cause in their community, especially after the beating death of Luis Ramirez this summer.

Organizers say they plan to start a local crime watch group because they say local lawmakers and police aren't doing enough to keep the community safe.

This rally was sponsored by SaveShenandoah.com and there were 48 people who stayed despite the chilling winds to hear what the speakers had to say.

Several others came and went during the event, so the total attendees was over 50.

The speakers were Wendi Medashefski of Voice of the People USA, Ruth Miller of Illegal Protest, Dan Amato of Diggers Realm, and Joe Miller of Save Shenandoah.

Digger should have the vids up soon.
