HOMESTEAD
Men and women from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru and other countries are spending their evenings at a Homestead community center writing slogans on large white sheets of paper.

"No More Raids,'' says one. "No to the Separation of Families,'' reads another. "Obama, Keep Your Promises,'' says a third.

The placards convey the aspirations of hundreds of undocumented immigrants and their U.S-born supporters who plan to board buses next week in Homestead and other Florida cities to participate in a March 21 march and rally in Washington, D.C. urging President Barack Obama to champion immigration reform.

"I'm going to Washington because the issue affects me personally,'' said Cynthia Moreno, an undocumented Mexican immigrant at Miami Dade College. ``I need the reform for myself, and for the millions of other undocumented immigrants living in the shadows right now.''

2. Can't wait til Rush and Glenn comment on a march of undocumented FOREIGNERS.

They are so good at pushing the fear button (got to protect "us" from "them" , you know) that they'll probably suggest arresting everyone in the marches to use the occasion as an immigration enforcement opportunity.
