Students terrified their parents will be deported. Day laborers afraid to call police because they lack green cards. Routine traffic stops may lead to deportations.
These were among the stories shared with more than 1,000 people calling for comprehensive immigration reform at a rally Sunday.
The gathering was coordinated by the San Diego Organizing Project, a faith-based community group.
Sunday’s demonstration followed a rally Saturday at City Hall organized by the Southern California Tax Revolt Coalition, a conservative political group.
“So many people from (Mexico) ignore our rules and come on in,” said Leslie Eastman, a spokeswoman for that group, who said about 100 people attended. “I would like to see enforcement so we can have people here legally.”
The rally on Sunday at Chicano Park was followed by a march to St. Joseph Cathedral.
