Thousands marched through Dallas, Texas on Sunday (March 30) demanding legal protections for immigrants in the face of a crackdown by the Trump administration that has targeted undocumented migrants, foreign students and even legal U.S. residents. Domingo Garcia, president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, which helped organize Sunday’s march, said it was time to end “fear-mongering”. Senator Al Green of Texas was also there, and said it is crucial to preserve due process. - REUTERS

00:00Because we know that this fight is about more than just immigration, this is about the soul.
00:07What I've seen happen in the last few months is just very unsettling.
00:11Doesn't feel like the country that I've known for my entire life
00:16and I feel like I can do something and show support for immigrants.
00:30We're up here marching for bipartisan immigration reform. It's time to stop the fear-mongering,
00:36the scapegoating. It's time to working for a positive solution to fix a broken immigration
00:41system and we're asking Republicans and Democrats, let's work together,
00:44let's fix this problem and let's do it as Americans and as Christians.
00:51There are injustices being perpetrated from the highest office in this land
00:57and we are here to protest those injustices peacefully, peaceful protest. We want to make
01:02sure that we protect social security, medicare and medicaid. We also want to protect the right
01:08of every person to have due process. Due process is in the law to protect innocent people. Without
01:16due process, innocent people may find themselves incarcerated because they didn't have an
01:22opportunity to simply identify themselves. So I'm here to protect liberty and justice for all.
01:28We are USA! We are USA!
