May Day rally planned to protest immigration bill, urge governor to veto: "About a thousand people gathered outside the Georgia Capitol for a May Day rally to call on Gov. Nathan Deal to veto a bill passed last month by the Legislature that aims to crack down on illegal immigration.
During the rally Sunday speakers expressed concern about workers' rights and the advancement of what they say is anti-immigrant legislation. Participants chanted in English and Spanish, cheered the speakers and waved signs."

I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
