Thousands March on U.S. Embassy, Chant Gringos Out of Mexico! Hundreds of police in riot gear guarded the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City Monday as thousands of protestors marched on the symbol of American power. "Gringos out of Mexico," chanted the crowd of transportation workers that hoisted signs, balloons and included an effigy of America defecating on Mexican President Vicente Fox and another of a nude George Bush. The marchers also held a minute of silence for would-be undocumented immigrants who died while sneaking into the United States, and then broke into the Mexican national anthem. Despite the sometimes heated emotions, the marchers were peaceful. It was the first of ...
Old War Haunts New Debate Between Mexico, U.S.; Loss of Territory in 1848 Changed Mexico's Destiny

MEXICO CITY - More than 1 million migrants flood into the United States each year across a border cutting straight through what once was Mexican territory, a touch of history that haunts the immigration debate 158 years after the land changed hands. The territory north of today's 1,952-mile border half of Mexico at the time was ripped away in 1848 after a U.S. invasion that ended with the capture of "the halls of Montezuma," Mexico City itself. Ulysses S. Grant, who took part, called the invasion "the most unjust war ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation." The loss changed Mexico's destiny and still tears at the country's heart.

46 minutes ago Now that immigrants have grabbed the nation's attention, what next? Monday has been set aside for immigrants to boycott work, school and shopping to show how much they matter to their communities. But with some growing tired of street protests, and others afraid they'll be deported or fired for walking out, people are planning to support the effort in myriad ways. Some will work but buy nothing on Monday. Others will protest at lunch breaks or at rallies after work. There will be church services, candlelight vigils, picnics and human chains. The range of activities shows both how powerful the immigrants' rights movement has become in a matter of weeks, and that ...

Raid Rumors Spark Fear Among Immigrants By LAURA WIDES-MUNOZ Associated Press Writer April 28, 2006, 11:59 PM EDT MIAMI -- Rumors of immigration roundups have prompted thousands of illegal immigrants to stay home this week and are making some afraid to participate in a national immigration protest planned for Monday.

Texas employers who rely on immigrant labor are wary of some of the proposals being debated in Washington to deal with the runaway expansion of the underground work force, now crucial to a number of industries. Half of the bills don't address their greatest concern: how to keep enough employees on the job while their legal status is settled. Three of the six bills would require foreign workers to return to their homelands before applying for authorization to work in the U.S., according to a review by the Migration Policy Institute. Two proposals would bar them for a decade if they don't leave, and the other would exclude them three years. "We would not like to see any plan that tells ...

Fri Apr 28, 2006 12:55 PM ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - The "Star-Spangled Banner" debuted on Friday with new Latin beat and Spanish lyrics but it did not win a glowing review from President George W. Bush, who said the cherished national anthem should be sung in English. Latin American artists recorded "Nuestro Himno" (Our Anthem) to stir immigrants to turn out for a national boycott and marches for rights across the country on May 1. Instead they stirred up the ire of those who see it as further polarizing Americans. One Internet columnist dubbed it "The Illegal Alien Anthem." Bush told reporters at a White House Rose Garden news conference the anthem would ...

Monday, May 1, has been dubbed "A Day Without Mexicans" by those who seek to show the rest of us just how essential those wonderfully "productive and law-abiding guest workers" from south of the border have become to America. Predictably, I have a different take on the whole affair. First of all, my version is called "A Day Without Meskins," the way it properly should be pronounced. Sloppy. Slurred. Offensive. Now ...

However, even if all goes as expected, authorities said Thursday that they anticipate traffic gridlock in the Loop, crowded train stations and street closings that could change from moment to moment. Crowd sizes are difficult to predict but because of extra publicity and a venue change from Federal Plaza to the roomier Grant Park the event may be larger than one held about seven weeks ago. ...

The men - mostly minders - apparently turned violent after being refused entry to a first-class lounge, smashing up a duty free shop, throwing bottles and attacking officers. It took riot police over an hour to arrest the "20-stone men", who were then led out in handcuffs, with one shouting: "This is how it goes down in LA." Witnesses believe the group, who were travelling from the US to South Africa, were refused entry to the British Airways ...

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Pro-immigration activists say a national boycott and marches planned for May 1 will flood U.S. streets with millions of Latinos to demand amnesty for illegal immigrants and shake the ground under Congress as it debates reform. Such a massive turnout could make for the largest protests since the civil rights era of the 1960s, though not all Latinos -- nor their leaders -- were comfortable with such militancy, fearing a backlash in Middle America. "There will be 2 to 3 million people hitting the streets in Los Angeles alone. We're going to close down Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Tucson, Phoenix, Fresno," said Jorge Rodriguez, a union official who helped ...
