Atlanta, Ga.--Yesterday, supporters of immigrant rights and comprehensive immigration reform marched in Atlanta, Georgia to speak out against the new extreme anti-immigrant House Bill 87, a bill which mirrors that of Arizona's racial profiling law, SB1070. Civil rights groups say the bill creates "an unwelcome environment for people of color and those in search of a better life".
It is estimated that about 14,000 people participated in the march and rally that surrounded the blocks around the Georgia State Capitol.
