Immigrants and workers march in St. Paul

By Katrina Plotz , TC Daily Planet

“Aqui estamos y no nos vamos!” “We are here and we aren’t going away!” “We are not aliens. We are human beings with rights.” “No borders, no nations! No more deportations!” More than 500 immigrants and supporters chanted these and similar slogans as they marched to celebrate International Workers Day in St. Paul on May 1. They gathered on the corner of Kellogg Blvd. and Robert St. at 2 pm with colorful signs, flags, and plastic buckets fashioned into drums, before marching to the state capitol. MORE »
