Outside the University of Denver’s Magness Arena, reporters waiting to cover the first presidential debate of 2012 turned their cameras over a chain-link fence to a hundred demonstrators gathered with a message for the evening’s participants and audience: Migration is a human right.
The demonstrators—clergy, immigrants, and community leaders among them—came out to take a visible stand in favor of changing immigration policies used to detain and deport immigrants.
