Minuteman Project rallies outside Sen. Boxer's office

About a dozen members of the people participating in a Minuteman Project-led event rallied outside Sen. Barbara Boxer's office Wednesday in downtown San Bernardino to protest the senator's stance on immigration policy.

The Minuteman Project is an anti-illegal immigration organization. Wednesday's rally focused on Boxer's support for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's bill that without outlining an actual change to immigration law, would express the sense of Congress that the United States needs more effective border enforcement, to prevent illegal immigration and to change naturalization law towards the aim of "reforming and rationalizing avenues for legal immigration."

Minuteman national rally spokesman Raymond Herrera described the bill as a call for amnesty for the millions of undocumented immigrants living in the United States.

"We want the American rule of law upheld and we want to support American workers," Herrera said.

Herrera said the rally included two people who moved to the United States legally.

"We have two immigrants with us, real immigrants," he said.

Boxer and the Minuteman Project have very different views on immigration, but Herrera and others at the rally said they were expecting a meeting with one of the Democratic senator's senior advisors.

However, the staffer in question was not present Wednesday morning.

A representative from Boxer's office could not be immediately reached for comment.
