PROTESTS

PROTESTS
What this is about
Immigration marches: Hundreds of immigrants and their supporters demonstrated in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton and Tiffin as part of a national day of protest.
Why? Some immigrants are angered by federal legislation to fortify the U.S-Mexico border and make it a felony to be an illegal immigrant. Immigrants want to show they make an important contribution to the U.S. economy.
Quote: "They say we take jobs from Americans, but what Americans do you know who want to go to Florida to pick oranges?" -- Estaban Solano, 29, a U.S. citizen and native of Costa Rica who took part in the Cincinnati march.
