Austin voices rise for immigration reform
Written by on Friday, May 1st, 2009 in Latest News.
A man ran away from immigration authorities on the steps of the Texas Capitol on Friday as more than 500 people watched. The man and the authorities were actors, members of Cristo Rey Catholic Church, who were taking part in the March for Just and Humane Immigration Reform in Austin. President Barack Obama “said we’re going to have immigration reform,” said Antolin Aguirre, a member of the church. The play showed a man crossing illegally into the U.S. from Mexico and being joined later by his family, who were all placed in detention. “We don’t want leftovers. We want a honest and just immigration act. God considers us as one race and one family.”
