15,000 Gather to Protest Georgia Immigration Law 
-------------------------------------------------



As many as 15,000 people gathered in downtown Atlanta Saturday to
protest a new law that aims to crack down on undocumented immigrants.
The demonstrators were motivated by legislation that legalizes 15-year
prison sentences and $250,000 fines for individuals who use fake
identification to secure a job.
