Corey Thompson Immigration Remarks!

Corey Thompson, candidate for Mecklenburg County Commission At-Large, gives his remarks at a press conference called by all three GOP At-Large candidates on July 30, 2010. "This issue is based solely on upholding the law....many have conveniently lost sight of the world "illegal"....America was forged by an ancestry of immigrants all over the world...yet there remains a legal process for immigrants today." His powerful statement runs about three minutes.

Immigrant Rights Advocates to Cubs Owner: "Move the game!"

In response to Arizona's "controversial" immigration legislation, JCUA staffers, along with other immigrant rights advocates from the Chicago Workers Collaborative and the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, attempted to deliver a petition to Chicago Cubs owner Tom Ricketts yesterday (7-29-10), asking him to move the team's spring training from Arizona to Florida.

In spite of their little bull-horned picket tirade, no one from Ricketts' office was willing to accept the petition. They were asked to leave the premises!
