Quote of the Week: Immigrant Community Has Woken Up
Immigrants work as much or more than any other people in this country, and they are paid the least. It's time they had a voice and vote. I'm a citizen, but thousands of these people work in the field, wash our dishes, clean our toilets and they're paid very little and exploited."
----- Joel Gates, 25 years old, on May 1, 2006 at an immigration march in San Jose, California, to the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper. (Historic Day: Immigrant Rallies Could Spur Civil Rights Movement)
