Immigration – a topic that affects us all

On May Day, thousands of immigrants across the world took to the streets to demonstrate. While in Germany immigrant and Muslim rights groups were voices among many in the traditional May Day (Labor Day across Europe) marches, migrant organizations in the US seized the moment to remind Congress that the promised, comprehensive immigration policy reform is still outstanding.

Our fellow bloggers, Rohini Gupta (Mexico) and Cassandra Clifford (Children) have examined the impact of these protests and compiled a wide selection of press articles. While they examine the protests from different angles, they offer a comprehensive overview of some of the issues raised in the protests and we would encourage you to read their postings.
