Few Hispanics march in Deep South

The L.A. Times reports:
Atlanta -- The undocumented workers at the fast food restaurant on Buford Highway know about the immigration bills that threaten to change their lives radically. And they had heard about the citywide Hispanic work boycott organizers had called in protest.

But when the event rolled around last week, only one person called in sick. Most of the 30 illegal Hispanic workers at the restaurant had held a meeting and decided that a boycott wasn't worth the risk. For now, they decided, a paycheck was more important.
Heh.
