SU students march against border patrol
A group of about 30 Seattle University students marched loudly across the campus Tuesday and would have stormed into the middle of a university career fair if police hadn't stopped them.


SU students were stopped outside the career fair. Amy Rolph/Seattle P-INo, they weren't decrying the dismal economy or a lack of job offers. They were angry that the university invited the U.S. Border Patrol to participate in a law-enforcement career fair.

The official position of students was that having the Border Patrol on campus could make trouble for students and SU staff who are in the country illegally.

"We feel their presence makes students and workers feel unsafe," said SU student Marianne Mork.

And so they chanted their way across campus with cardboard signs.
