Advocates of stronger immigration controls began a six-day lobbying effort in Washington yesterday that will include rallies, press conferences and a gathering of at least 18 radio talk-show hosts from across the country.
The event, "Hold Their Feet to the Fire," is intended to demonstrate opposition to efforts to legalize immigrants who have entered the United States illegally, including President Bush's plan for a temporary worker or "guest worker" program.
Participants also are pushing for legislation to ban illegal immigrants from having driver's licenses, to crack down on employers who hire illegal immigrants and to resume sweeps "to nab illegal aliens," according to an event Web site, www.nomoreamnesty.com.
