El Paso County Commissioners expected to tackle the issue of border rights at Monday's regular meeting. Earlier this week, more than 100 people marched through the streets of El Paso to raise awareness to immigrant worker rights.

Commissioners will discuss and take appropriate action on the Declaration of Border Communities document titled, "Rights and Justice for Immigrant Workers".

The issue was submitted by Precinct 3 Commissioner Miguel Teran. Proponents are asking for the court to oppose among other things, the border fence, immigration raids, and criminalizing immigrants.
