Opponents Protest Arizona Immigration Law : NPR: Arizona is fighting for its new immigration law meant to keep illegal immigrants out of the state. It asked an appeals court to reverse a federal district judge's decision to block key portions of the measure.The remaining parts of the law did take effect Thursday, and opponents took to the streets of Phoenix.
Methodist pastor Laurel Scott came from Connecticut. She held a yellow sign that said, 'Standing On The Side of Love.' Scott marched down Washington Street in downtown Phoenix to fight the Arizona law and keep it from spreading.
'We hoped to see how we can react when inevitably this issue comes up in the New England region and how the church ought to respond,' she said.
Dan Moore came from Cincinnati. He says he objects to any law that, he says, stands in the way of comprehensive federal immigration reform, including rights for illegal immigrants.
