Immigration March in Postville, Iowa

On May 12, 2008, nearly 400 workers were arrested in an ICE raid on the Agriprocessors, Inc., meatpacking plant in Postville, Iowa. In the following months, witnesses and news media reported a number of human rights and due process violations against the workers that took place at the plant and in the makeshift courtrooms set up by the U.S. government following the raid. On July 27, 2008, activists and people of faith from Iowa and across the country marched in Postville to show solidarity for the workers and their families and to call for fair and humane immigration reform.

It's great to see a video right from Postville.

Nativists do not have a real solution this mess. If these migrants had been legalized there's no way they would have suffered these abuses.

@gerardlemus the world is structured chaotic subatomic vibrational (mass), it seems solid, under magnification, is pure energy,a matrix if you will.

Focus on what u want, not what u do not want, it can happen.Hidden Rulers " Ancient bank familys" know this and keep us figting over anything ,stracted with thier owned Media,selling us "culture"

I am 4thGen from Europe. My elders paved te way for life here and education. Why would these people want to enslave them selves. SEE "MONEY AS DEBT"

@PushyMonk They did it the right way? are you sure? wanna hit those history books again, country was founded by illegal inmigrants, the difference between the first ones and the new ones is the way they did it in fact. The first ones came here and kill the inhabitants of this land. The new ones cross an imaginary line in a map and ask for respect. Maybe what you are saying is that this new inmigratns should do it the way your ancestors did by killing and hurting?

Greatest country in the world, where you can support you illegal status by marching!!

Could you imagine any of these criminals who illegally snuck into the US trying to pull this rally during great migration to America at turn of the century? Our European ancestors ran from poverty and persecution but DID IT THE RIGHT WAY,

The feds would have sent the bodies back home on the ships!
