Immigration backers rally near State House - Maryland

Chanting “Yes, we can!” in English, Spanish and French, a crowd of mostly Hispanic men and women gathered near Maryland’s State House last night in hopes of stemming what they say is a growing backlash in the legislature over illegal immigration.

Participants in the rally, held on the eve of another round of General Assembly hearings on immigration bills, lighted several hundred candles and cheered local legislators and advocates, and national civil rights leaders. Most of the measures seek to curb or cut off benefits to those who cannot prove they are in the United States legally.”*
