Eight US lawmakers arrested in immigration reform march
(AFP) - Eight members of Congress were among several dozen people arrested Tuesday as thousands of protesters converged on the US capital to demand immigration reform.
The event resulted in a call by the White House for lawmakers to bridge their differences and "fix our broken immigration system" by allowing stalled legislation to move through the House of Representatives.
Police led away several protesters in plastic handcuffs after the marchers blocked a street at the foot of the US Capitol which houses Congress.
Organizers for the "Rally and March for Immigrant Dignity and Respect" said around 10,000 people turned out for the protest.

If only they showed the same care and support for American citizens that they do for foreign criminals.
