¡Adelante, Nicole!


"Families from the El Paso area, activists and UTEP students joined together April 10 to demand the government cease immigration raids and push for a comprehensive immigration reform.

"More than 1,000 people marched in the protest rally that started at UTEP's Leech Grove.

"[S]aid Fernando Garcia, executive director of Border Network for Human Rights, We cannot wait any longer to pass comprehensive immigration reform. The more we wait, the more we hurt American and immigrant families.

"Around 4 p.m., the attendees, who held signs reading Raids, NO! Reform, Yes! among other slogans, walked over University Avenue Street, and El Paso Avenue to finish the rally at San Jacinto Plaza in Downtown El Paso..

"According to a study by the Pew Hispanic Center, about 12 million undocumented immigrants live in the United States.

"In Texas, 1.5 million of the 24.3 million of the people living in the state are undocumented immigrants.."

Way to go guys!


¡Ora, UTEP!
