Thousands marched in Washington last Oct. 13.
Just days before the first largest immigration march of the year would take place, rumors promise to be larger that the one held in Oct. 13, 2009, and for that the nation Latinos were getting ready to rally.
Latinos and immigrants nationwide would convene in Washington, D.C., on March 21 to push for the long-awaited amnesty for the tens of millions of undocumented immigrants who reside in the U.S.
Despite of his promise to have in place a just and fair immigration reform that would fix the broken immigration system within his first 100 days in the presidency, Obama is still not keeping his promise.
But Latinos and other immigrant groups don’t want to wait sitting down.
They wanted to tell the president in one voice to act now in Washington.
“We are faced with a choice. We can do nothing, and watch as our families and communities continue to be torn apart by the broken immigration system; watch as profiteers continue to take advantage of people desperate for work; watch as due process is taken away from our understanding of justice; and watch as our leaders work on economic solutions that simply aren’t bold enough to turn this country around. Or we can stand up for our families and our communities,” said a Reform Immigration for America written statement.
