Batavia “is the target because Speaker Hastert presided over passage of one of the most odious pieces of legislation ever passed by Congress,”

“In a show of how far immigrants have moved to fulfill the American dream, scores of immigrant advocates will skip their barbecues and lakefront picnics this weekend to join in a 44.9-mile walk from Chinatown to the home office of House Speaker Dennis Hastert in Batavia.

The four-day journey ends with Hastert because of his leadership on the issue of beefing up border security. March organizers hope to show the Republican congressman that he should be more mindful of immigrants’ interests.”
