  1. Great shots — they vividly capture a very emotionally charged issue. The photo of the woman asking for her husband back and the shot of the ‘vivan los latinos’ are particularly stunning to me. Nice work!

  2. Frances Ontiveros

    Great pictures, Brett. Wish I could have attended. I love the one with the guy holding the <- "I'm with Racist." sign in the background! !Viva la raza!

  3. If your legal right on, if not get out……you are breaking the law including Obamas

    • Hi Jack, I don't think the "get out if you're illegal" can be a serious approach, as we currently have 20+ million undocumented immigrants living and working in the US. It's an idea that's impossible to implement and unconscionable to propose, in my opinion. I would like immigration reform to increase temporary worker programs, create a reliable forge-proof identity document, register all undocumented workers, and allow a path to citizenship for many in this massive part of our economy, possibly including language and history tests, paying back taxes, background checks, and community service.
