| | Comments (0)

The Daily Bulletin's Liset Marquez reported this weekend that 300 people attended the latest stop on the "Family Unity" Immigration Outreach Tour on Saturday at an Ontario church.

Spearheaded by Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., the tour is meant to show the effects of the nation's immigration policy.

Rep. Joe Baca, D-San Bernardino - who hosted the event - said Saturday's turnout sends a strong message to President Obama.

While attendees listened to testimony inside the church, 10 members of the anti-illegal immigration group the Minutemen Project stood outside waving American flags.
