Critics and supporters of Arizona's crackdown on illegal immigrants held separate rallies in the state on Saturday, highlighting the deep rift over immigration ahead of congressional elections this November.
Thousands of civil rights and labor activists from across the United States -- carrying banners that read: "Obama Keep Your Promise" -- rallied in Phoenix to protest the law, which requires state and local police to investigate the immigration status of people they suspect are in the country illegally.
No Sarah Palin. No Rand Paul. No Michele Bachmann or Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh. So it wasn't news. But if you're a Latino in this country or know anyone who is, then it should damn well matter to you.
