Anger At Democrats Fueling Pro-Immigration Protest In DC

While most of the attention in Washington will be on the health care debate this week, both sides of the immigration debate are gearing up for a massive rally on Sunday that pro-reform advocates hope will put the plight of millions of immigrants back on the Washington agenda.

Organizers say more than 50,000 immigrant advocates from across the country will gather on March 21 on the national Mall in DC to demand what organizers say say was a Democratic promise back in 2008 to pursue comprehensive immigration reform. Organizers of the rally say the immigrant community is extremely frustrated by the pace of reform, and worries its agenda will get tossed by the wayside by politicians afraid that taking up the issue will cost them dearly in November. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/03/anger-at-democrats-fueling-pro-immigration-protest-in-dc.phpBy Evan McMorris-Santoro — TPM.com
