FLAGSTAFF -- A group of immigrant rights activists braved cold temperatures and some snow Saturday to rally outside of Flagstaff's City Hall.

Around 60 people — from illegal immigrants to members of lesbian and gay organizations — turned out for the event. They shared stories about their personal experiences with discrimination.

Alexandra Samarron of Arizona Dreamers in Action says the effort was aimed at exposing the struggles of the immigrant community.

Saturday's rally was just one of dozens of events planned around the country during the month of March.

    They are not illegal aliens, they are just undocumented democrats.
    Politically incorrect and proud of it.

This is part of the problem, not only don't see what they are doing is wrong they feel "discriminated" against. Get a clue, in this country we have laws. Law breakers are not usually held in very high regard by others, except maybe other lawbreakers.

    They struggle with the fact they are here illegally and unwanted. Their struggles are self made.

    They are desperate for an ear at this point. So they travel all the way up north for the venue? Here's an idea. Get legal...then you wont have to freeze!!! Seriously...they need to teach this in kindergarten in Mexico, so when they get here, it isnt so confusing.
