Liked their idea about the bricks


N.C. Hispanics join rally

RALEIGH (AP) – Hispanics across North Carolina rallied Monday while Republicans at a Charlotte college sold bricks symbolizing the wall they say is needed to keep illegal immigrants out of the United States.
  The demonstrations were part of a nationwide call by illegal immigrants and their allies to boycott work, school and shopping and illustrate how much immigrants matter to the U.S. economy. Supporters said they want to press Congress for reforms that allow illegal immigrants a path toward U.S. citizenship.
  But Charlotte’s Latino leaders encouraged people to go to work and school rather than risk jobs or grades.
  “We live in a community where the immigration has happened very fast. The understanding of our community is very limited,” said Angeles Ortega- Moore, executive director of Charlotte’s Latin American Coalition. “Anything that is new, you have to be conscientious about what you do. We don’t want to alienate people.” North Carolina’s Hispanic population surged nearly 400 percent in the 1990s and grew another 35 percent from 2000 to 2004, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The state’s Latino population was estimated at more than 600,000.
