Immigration advocates push reform legislation

Chicago immigration rights advocates rallied today to pressure Congress to pass comprehensive reform legislation, even as the sensitivity of the issue and election-year backdrop loom as major obstacles.

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., vowed to push for national immigration reform at the boisterous West Side rally that drew an estimated 1,200 activists, union workers, religious leaders and families. They waved placards and chanted, "Si se puede," or "Yes, we can," a slogan borrowed from President Barack Obama's 2008 campaign.
