FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) - Protestors who demonstrated near Fresno's River Park over the weekend say the Latino and Latin-American community should show up in full force to support migrant workers - even those who are now documented. "A lot of our family are documented now, they don't want to come support us," said Melissa, one of the protestors at the demonstration on Sunday. "They could be here, but they don't want to." Fresno mayor addresses immigration concerns after River Park protests Melissa, a 20-year-old woman from Hanford, traveled to Fresno with her teen siblings to protest recent border patrol activity in Kern County. Melissa, Joseph (16) and Vanessa (17) were all born in the United States, but their parents migrated from Mexico. Melissa says she and her siblings felt the need to stand in solidarity with their community amidst the fear many migrant laborers are feeling after the raids in Bakersfield. "It's really important for us to be here," Melissa said. "[For] everyone else that's scared to be out here because they've been seeing la migra [immigration]." But Melissa and her siblings say not all who refused to go to the protest did so out of fear. She says she wishes the Latino and Latin-American community would show up in full force to support migrant workers. "They have a right to work," Melissa said. "They call us criminals and that's not the case. I don't think it's fair that hard-working people like our parents should fear not coming home from work." In a statement to YourCentralValley.com, U.S. Customs and Border Protection says their recent enforcement action was to target "individuals involved in smuggling throughout our areas of operation as part of our efforts to dismantle transnational criminal organizations." The siblings say that despite the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's statement that their operations only target criminals, they feel the Latino community has been discriminated against. Joseph says it was important for him to go support migrant construction and field workers, "who do important work for the United States economy." He also says it's the youth's responsibility to speak up for the undocumented population in California. "Most of us come from undocumented, migrant parents," Joseph said. "To everyone who didn't come out today, come support us next time. Just because you have your documents, doesn't mean other people don't need your help."
