2006 U.S. Immigration Reform Protests

Millions of demonstrators in cities across the country gather in protest of the proposed “Border Protection, Anti-terrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005” (HR 4437) bill.  The protests not only rejected the tenets of the proposed legislation, but also called for complete reform to immigration policies.
