Demonstrators demanding immigration reform march through downtown

SAN DIEGO — About 250 demonstrators marched from San Diego City College to Chicano Park Friday afternoon to demand immigration reform, the fourth annual local May 1 march intended to highlight the issue.

The crowd of mostly young Latinos carried Mexican flags, banners and placards demanding an end to immigration raids and calling for legalization for people they described as “migrants without papers.â€
