WASHINGTON, DC: Protesters Denounce Amnesty Bill

Washington Post

Washington, DC -- More than 100 people gathered at the Washington Monument yesterday to protest immigration legislation that they reject as amnesty for the nation's estimated 12 million illegal immigrants.

Carrying signs with slogans such as "Reform Mexico Not the USA," and T-shirts that read "Stop illegal immigration. Ask me how," the demonstrators cheered, clapped and shouted as more than a dozen speakers from different organizations took the stage.

March for America, a group that opposes President Bush's immigration reforms, organized three days of marches and speakers across 14 states to urge tighter border protection and denounce opportunities to afford illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.
