MANASQUAN, New Jersey -- This past May, 1 million immigrants took to the streets throughout the United States to protest a bill that was passed by the House of Representatives, and is currently under consideration in the Senate, that would make it a felony to be an undocumented worker in the United States and would criminalize any aid given to illegal aliens.
However, illegal immigrants are not the only group mobilizing in the streets to make a statement.
Main Street, here, has become a rallying point for protesters from the organizations United Patriots of America and Minutemen in an effort to stir local residents to take a stand on illegal immigrants working freely in the area. The groups are attempting to dissuade employers and townspeople from utilizing illegal labor. Armed with signs, flyers and cameras, the protesters have gathered on the sidewalks in front of Borough Hall and the Acme supermarket for the past four Saturday mornings to garner support for their cause.
