Advocates eye border protest in New Mexico, Texas

Immigrant advocates say they are planning a 100-mile walk along the border in New Mexico and Texas to protest the use of military-style patrols. The Border Network for Human Rights said they will unveil plans for the two-state walk at a press conference in El Paso. Organizers say the walk is aimed at protesting the use of the National Guard along the U.S.-Mexico border and to call for President Obama to act on immigration reforms. Advocates say the walk will include activists and faith leaders from Texas and New Mexico.  AP
