Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Los Angeles on Saturday (07APR07) to express their dissatisfaction with current US immigration policy.
The protesters marched from Broadway Ave. to Los Angeles City Hall, carrying American flags and banners demanding ‘Amnesty now.’
The protests come in the wake of an immigration reform bill that was leaked to the press last week, which indicates there may soon be a new ‘Z’ visa.
The ‘Z’ visa would allow undocumented workers to legally work for three years, costing $3,500 to renew each time they expired. Workers would have to return to their countries of origin and apply for the visa at the Embassy or Consulate after paying a fine of $10,000.
