Protesters Demand Feinstein Oppose Immigration Bill
Immigration Rights Protest At Feinstein's House
On Saturday, June 2nd, immigrant rights activists gathered in front of Dianne Feinstein's home in San Francisco to demand that she help to bury the current immigration bill. To the surprise of the protesters, Feinstein herself came out to meet them.

Originally her husband came out saying Dianne was still sleeping, but the assembled activists demanded that they wanted to send their message directly to the Senator. Eventually she did come out, but her message was unyielding. She insisted the bill does provide a path to citizenship and the raids will stop as soon as the bill is law. Activists responded that among other things, the bill will separate families, further criminalize immigrant communities, cause more suffering and deaths at the border, institutionalize worker exploitation through a guest-worker program, and provide no realistic chances for the undocumented to legalize.
