Tens of thousands of Latinos this weekend staged their first major march in Washington to protest against immigration and welfare reforms they view as a racist backlash against their community. Waving U.S. and Latin American flags and chanting slogans in Spanish, the demonstrators marched from a predominately Hispanic neighborhood to the Ellipse park behind the White House for a major rally. Estimates varied from 50,000 to 100,000 people, this according to the park police, who usually underestimate crowds. We’ll have more on that later in the show.
