A GROUP OF RELIGIOUS LEADERS AND ACTIVISTS WANT TO CONVINCE CONGRESSMAN STEVE PEARCE TO CHANGE HIS MIND ON THE SENATE'S PROPOSAL ON IMMIGRATION REFORM. PEARCE IS ONE OF MANY REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS WHO DON'T LIKE THE PROVISION THAT GIVES IMMIGRANTS IN THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY A PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP.
THE GROUP IS HOLDING A CANDLELIGHT VIGIL WEDNESDAY AND HOPES TO MEET WITH PEARCE'S STAFF IN ROSWELL.
ANOTHER GROUP, SOMOS UN PUEBLO UNIDO, PLANS A RALLY OUTSIDE REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS IN HOBBS. THEY HOPE TO DRAW ATTENTION TO IMMIGRANT OIL AND GAS WORKERS WHO THEY BELIEVE COULD BENEFIT FROM CHANGES IN IMMIGRATION LAWS.
