Can you imagine the reaction to a mob of conservatives storming Congress?
Via The Hill:
Immigration activists plan to occupy House office buildings on Friday to protest GOP posiitons on illegal immigration.
United We Dream, a youth-led group that supports expanding protection for illegal immigrants, announced members would protest inside the Rayburn House Office Building at 12:30 p.m.
The group said it would target members from Arizona, California, Maryland, New Mexico, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Washington and Virginia. The group did not include a list of specific lawmakers.
The group accuses Republicans of using “harsh anti-immigrant rhetoric,” and says the party is using the large influx of child immigrants coming from Central American countries as an excuse not to act on immigration reform.
The group is pushing for the Obama administration to expand a 2012 program that allows some children brought to the country illegally to be de-prioritized for deportation. The group wants the program to include the family members of those children as well.
