Bilbray Joins Others in D.C. to Rally Against Illegal Immigration
Two San Diego Congressmen are leading an anti-immigration drive this week in Washington. Jodi Breisler reports from Capitol Hill.
Anti-immigration activists from Southern California, Texas, and many other states converged on Capitol Hill this week. They want tougher border controls and crackdowns on illegal immigration. Representative Brian Bilbray rallied the crowd across from the Capitol building.
Bilbray : I wish that those who talk about amnesty had to recover the bodies which are the results of people talking about that this country will reward people for breaking our laws, and punish those who are waiting patiently to immigrate to this country by playing by the rules.
The activists say they are working to defeat a bipartisan immigration reform bill that would allow temporary guest workers into the United States. Many business groups support the measure.
