On Friday, two armies converged upon McHenry County College. A group of Hispanic students offended by the presence of the anti-illegal immigration group on campus attempted to protest an Illinois Minuteman Project seminar at the college’s conference center Friday evening. The students gathered at 5 p.m. in the college’s common area in campus Building A, to collect their thoughts and tape “immigrant” signs to the backs of their shirts… Many of the students who planned to protest are members of Latinos Unidos, the college’s Hispanic student organization. Latinos Unidos presented college President Walter Packard with more than 400 signatures Wednesday of students who opposed the Minuteman group’s use of college facilities.
