North Carolina Hispanics schedule rallies for immigration reform

“Hispanics across North Carolina rallied Monday while Republicans at a Charlotte college sold bricks symbolizing the wall they say is needed to keep illegal immigrants out of the United States.

The demonstrations were part of a nationwide call by illegal immigrants and their allies to boycott work, school and shopping and illustrate how much immigrants matter to the U.S. economy. Supporters said they want to press Congress for reforms that allow illegal immigrants a path toward U.S. citizenship.”
