Rally Against Illegal Immigration Scheduled

Radio Hosts Enlisted in Effort, Which Is Aimed at Rousing Area Activists Before Week of Lobbying

As the debate over immigration reform takes shape in Congress, radio
talk show hosts will headline a rally against illegal immigration
across from the White House today as a preamble to a week of lobbying
on Capitol Hill.

Organizers hope the radio personalities, whose shows across the
country often are forums for heated anti-immigrant rhetoric, will
galvanize an array of groups into a potent force. The effort is aimed
at reflecting grass-roots concerns raised by Washington area residents,
such as over job centers for mostly immigrant day laborers in Herndon
and Gaithersburg.

"We all see the illegal aliens marching down the streets,
screaming, ‘We are America’ and ‘We demand citizenship.’ We are trying
to offer a venue where Americans can come and express their support for
secure borders and an equal application of existing laws," said D.A.
King, an ex-Marine from Georgia who leads the Dustin Inman Society,
which is sponsoring the rally.

Surveys show that a majority of Americans favor tightening security
along the border with Mexico. But the public is divided on how to treat
the more than 10 million illegal immigrants who live in the United
States.
