immigration

Hundreds of thousands of people have been protesting all over the country the last few days because they value the integrity of the family. These people are demonstrating to protest an anti-immigrant bill would decimate the fabric of their family unity by separating and disintegrating families. The majority of those demonstrators were Hispanics from all over the Americas including Mexico, South and Central America. According to the 2000 US Census, Hispanics comprise approximately 12.6% of the total US population. Approximately 66% of Hispanics reported in the Census are of Mexican descent.
