Senator Kerry lends support to immigration marchers

[Bluebear]

US Senator John Kerry expressed support today for about 1,500 Massachusetts immigrants and advocates who are heading to Washington D.C. to call for immigration reform.

"You deserve more than the empty rhetoric and impractical calls for mass deportation we see from opponents of comprehensive immigration reform," Kerry said today in a statement.

The Massachusetts marchers planned to join with tens of thousands of others on the National Mall on Sunday.

The marchers, who are demonstrating the same day as a historic health care vote in the House, are hoping to call attention to an issue they say has been neglected for the past year.

5. "You deserve more than the empty rhetoric and impractical calls for mass deportation we see from

opponents of comprehensive immigration reform". Well said, Senator.

I hope we follow up on the passage of HCR with immigration and financial reform as well as EFCA and DADT. We have proven we can govern and overcome unanimous republican opposition. Let's keep proving it from now til November.

6. YES!!! Congress seems to be getting the idea and acting like Democrats -

let's keep kicking them when they back off and encouraging them when they do their jobs, and we will have a greater victory in November, and a better country along the way.

Thank you all people who were in the march for immigration reform! You are real Americans in the best sense!
