Many will be those in the ranks of "just send 'em all back" persuasion.

<div><font size="4"><strong>Undocumented Youth Risk Arrest in Denver to Demand
Executive Order at Obama Office<br><br></strong><i>'Coming out' action in
Denver</i></font></div><font size="4">
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><br>DENVER – Undocumented immigrant youth walking
from San Francisco to Washington, D.C. will protest outside of the Obama campaign office today on 9th Avenue. They will ask that his administration
stop the deportations of DREAM Act-eligible youth by signing an executive
order.<br><br>“With Deportations on the rise and Secure Communities recently
implemented in the state of Colorado, We cannot just sit back and wait!” said
Veronica Gomez, an undocumented student with Campaign for an American Dream
(CAD), which is walking across the country to raise awareness about immigrant
rights. “The immigrant community in Colorado needs to know that we have a
voice in this country, that we are not criminals, and we deserve a pathway to
legalization.”<br><br>CAD, along with the group Colorado, Organize, Resist,
Escalate (COORE) will deliver a letter to the Obama Campaign office followed
by a <i>“Coming out of the Shadows”</i> rally where undocumented immigrants
will publicly declare their status.<br><br>“If they want the Latino vote in
Colorado, they must show the community what they are doing for us. We are
asking them to stop the deportation of all DREAM eligible youth!” said Javier
Hernandez, an undocumented immigrant living in Colorado and member of
COORE.<br><br>Despite the memo authored by Immigration and Customs Enforcement
Director John Morton explaining that ICE is supposed to focus its resources on
deporting criminals, DREAM-eligible youth are being put in deportation
proceedings nationwide. We need the strength of an executive order to stop our
deportations. <br><br>###<br><br>CAD’s mission is to walk across the nation
from San Francisco to D.C creating dialogue around the passage of the DREAM
Act and fixing our broken immigration system with the values of equality,
unity, and diversity. CAD believe’s all people are equal, all those who are
oppressed should be united, and our daily lives and the Campaign itself
highlight diversity. <a href="http://thedreamwalk.org">http://thedreamwalk.org</a> </p></font></font>
