Two parts of the Democrat Party coalition– illegal-immigration activists and the civil rights crowd– are feeling ignored. That’s right, my friends: They’re upset that the immigration debate has fizzled as a campaign issue. “It’s a touchy subject,” explains Luis Gutierrez, the head of a Chicago pro-illegal-immigrant group. So his organization and others are planning a series of public demonstrations that they hope will revive their movement.
In coming days, rallies are going totake place in Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, and other cities. In Chicago, representatives from the Reverend Jackson’s Operation PUSH, and Calypso Louie’sNation of Islam, are expected to join this “struggle” for the first time. Also invited are a bunch of gay activists.
