March voices Latino anger. The rally honoring Cesar Chavez becomes vehicle to express indignation over proposed immigration limits. California

“Chants of “Sí­, se puede” (Yes, we can) and “Aquí­ estamos y no nos vamos” (We’re here and we’re not leaving) reverberated through downtown Sacramento as thousands rallied Saturday for better wages and the right to organize and against efforts to toughen immigration laws.

The rally, held since 2000 to honor the late labor leader Cesar Chavez, usually draws several hundred people. This year, organizers said more than 5,000 took to the streets, voicing frustrations at recent federal proposals to curb illegal immigration.”
