A statewide immigration advocacy group is planning to march this morning outside the Phoenix offices of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and County Attorney Andrew Thomas.
Immigrants Without Borders said the march was in response to the officials' efforts to charge illegal entrants with conspiracy to smuggle themselves across the U.S.-Mexico border.
Advocates have accused county authorities of misusing the anti-smuggling law, arguing that it is aimed at smugglers who are paid by illegal immigrants to lead them to the United States. The group's leaders hope to start a dialogue with Arpaio and Thomas.
"We do not seek confrontation," said Immigration Without Borders founder Elias Bermudez. "We want them to be part of the solution to a broken-down federal immigration system."
