| Description | 11:31 a.m. - Tens of thousands of marchers began arriving at Wesley Bolin Plaza at the Capitol around 11:15 a.m. and filled the area. And others still are coming.
As they entered the plaza, the marchers were chanting, “Si, se puede,” or “Yes, it can be done.” A man named Richard (he declined to give his last name) stood at the entrance with a megaphone, saying, “Illegals, you're needed home in Mexico.” His amplified chants were drowned out by the crowd. Marchers carried signs that said, “Danger: Educated Latinos,” and “No human being is illegal.”
Members of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps were at the plaza, demonstrating against the march. |
