Roughly 100,000 people are planned to rally in Washington, D.C. in March

LORAIN: Latino and other leaders are uniting around the nation to turn the attention in U.S. Congress back to immigration reform after they say President Barack Obama has failed to address the issue in his first year in office as he had promised.
Through the national campaign, Reform Immigration For America, immigrant, labor, business and faith leaders around the country are hoping to recruit more than 100,000 people to rally in Washington, D.C., on March 21, 2010, in hopes of pressuring legislators to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill this year.

This country was built by immigrants, it will continue to attract and need immigrants. Some people think there are enough people here now -- people have been saying this since the 1700s and it still is not true. They are needed to make up for our aging population and low birthrate. Immigrants often are entrepreneurs, creating jobs. We must help them become Americans and not just people who live here and think of themselves as visitors. When immigrants succeed here, the whole country benefits.
