Immigration proponents are hosting a daylong rally aimed at persuading local voters to back comprehensive immigration reform.
The immigrants' rights group Promise Arizona is hosting the celebration and voter registration event in downtown Phoenix on Saturday.
The event at the First Institutional Baptist Church in Phoenix starting at 10 a.m. will feature a neighborhood walk to reach out to voters, Mexican folk dancing and speeches.
The rally marks the end of a four-day immigrants' rights bus tour across Arizona hosted by Promise Arizona. The tour strove to highlight families disrupted by local and federal immigration policies.
The group met Friday with Democratic U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva, a proponent of immigration reform.

We'll give you a green card and you give up welfare, chain migration, birthright citizenship to babies of illegals and make "English" to official language.
What do you say????

"Mexican folk dancing" -- Gee, isn't that being a bit RACIST. Aren't there other kinds of folk dancing? Why aren't they represented?
The rally is in sheep's skin. It's NOT an immigration rally, it's a ILLEGAL immmigration rally. I don't care what dance they do, or how many rallies they have, I will NEVER vote to let CRIMINALS be rewarded for committing a crime! Millions of other LEGALLY imigrated to our country, to be FAIR, ALL SHOULD HAVE TO!

"The tour strove to highlight families disrupted by local and federal immigration policies." -- WRONG! If the families were "disrupted", then they must be ILLEGAL immigrants. And if that is so, THEY MADE THE CHOICE TO IGNORE OUR LAWS! What's the matter, don't they want to be "good" citizens and TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for their actions?
