Pro-Amnesty Forces Rally on National Mall
by Matthew Boyle 8 Oct 2013, 11:28 AM PDT
Several thousand AFL-CIO
and SEIU sponsored pro-amnesty
demonstrators began rallying on Capitol Hill on Tuesday afternoon around 12:30
PM to call for Congress to grant legal status to America’s at least 11 million
illegal immigrants.
The size of the crowd suggest the
organization that put on the rally, the Center for Community Change (CCC),
under-delivered on its promise to have “hundreds of thousands” attend the
rally; the group tweeted on Monday afternoon and on Tuesday morning that it
expected “hundreds of thousands” of people to attend.
Several members of Congress are in
attendance at the event, including GOP Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) and
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL). Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) is expected to join the
event soon as well, an organizer confirmed to Breitbart News.
Scores of Democratic House members also
began arriving shortly after 12:30 PM on golf carts. House
Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is scheduled to speak as well, as are
many different labor union officials. Washington,
D.C. mayor Vince Gray is slated
to address the group too.
