Over fifty people participated in a march on Wednesday (13SEP07) to raise awareness about immigration problems in the US and the need for immigration reform.

The Voluntarios de la Comunidad crowd marched from San Jose’s Mi Pueblo Plaza on Story Road to City Hall on Santa Clara Street.

The march was organized as part of a Washington D.C. rally that recently-deported illegal immigrant Elvira Arellano had originally planned to attend. Arellano was deported last month after defying USCIS orders for a year and taking shelter in a Chicago church with her US-born son.
