WASHINGTON - Immigrant workers taking part in a freedom ride arrived in here this week to urge members of Congress to change immigration laws.
“We need to make sure that people who are building America are treated right,” said Sen. Jon Corzine, D-N.J., at breakfast meeting Thursday with some of the immigrant Freedom Riders and their supporters. “We need to make sure that laws make sense on immigration.”
Twenty buses on the Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride received a cheerful welcome Wednesday at noon when they met for the first time after the beginning of the ride on Sept. 20. Each bus started in a different city.
