Big immigration march in Washington
Tens of thousands call for an overhaul to be the next priority in Congress, even as lawmakers debated the passage of healthcare legislation.
Reporting from Washington - Determined to push a major overhaul of the immigration system to the top of the nation's political agenda, tens of thousands of people rallied Sunday on the National Mall, challenging Congress to fix laws that they say separate families and hurt the country's economic and social vitality.

Señalan baja de tensiones raciales

PATCHOGUE, Nueva York/AP — Antes que un inmigrante ecuatoriano fuese muerto a puñaladas por un adolescente adornado con una cruz gamada, los inmigrantes indocumentados de esta población temían denunciar a la policía que varios jóvenes con motocicletas les apedreaban e insultaban con epítetos raciales.
Siempre existía la posibilidad de que una denuncia ante la policía condujera a una deportación o que simplemente no les hicieran caso. Empero, mucho ha cambiado la situación desde noviembre del 2008 cuando Marcelo Lucero, de 37 años, fue atacado por los adolescentes — seis blancos y uno de ascendencia puertorriqueña — que según los fiscales se había dedicado ese día en Patchogue a la búsqueda de hispanos para atacarlos.

Protesters rally to save schools
Dozens of teachers, parents and children came to Watsonville Plaza Friday afternoon to protest cuts to Watsonville/Aptos Adult Education -- and the preschools that fall under its jurisdiction.
As several preschool-aged kids played in the grassy park and the area around the bandstand, others stood on the sidewalk along Main Street, cheering as passing vehicles honked in support.
