Hispanics to march as debate simmers - Fresno

Valley Hispanics will march for immigrant rights today in downtown Fresno for the third year in a row. But activists are divided on whether another march is the best way to push for changes in federal immigration law.

Fresno’s march is among a number of immigrant demonstrations planned nationwide in major cities such as Los Angeles and Chicago. Unlike 2006, when marches drew hundreds of thousands of demonstrators, there’s no hot-button immigration bill this year.

But some advocates say the marches have run their course. Those advocates say immigrants should press their case more directly with federal lawmakers and the candidates running for president.”*
