Washington, Nov 14 (Prensa Latina) Tuesday US Latino organizations threatened to carry out mass demonstrations on the streets of the United States if Congress refuses to take actions favoring immigrants.
Central American Resources Center executive director Raul Solorzano urged for an all-embracing migratory reform to authenticate 11.2 million people with no identity papers.
We ll wait 110 days [for the new Democratic Congress], if in that time the legislative body does not act, "we will," he warned.
The House approved bills, pushed through by Republicans, that label immigrants as criminals, consider them undesirable and prevent them from applying for jobs.
Under that measure, employers who offer jobs to people without papers can be fined and even sent to prison in some states.
USA Latino Movement director Juan Jose Gutierrez expressed his opposition to Congress and White House propaganda for their interests to the detriment of immigrants.
One of the points on the Democrats agenda will be modification of the US migration laws, which House Democratic leader Harry Reid called a failed system.
Nancy Pelosi, who will be first female House speaker, hopes to reach a bipartisan accord on this topic.
