Hundreds of drum-banging protesters marched through Madrid Saturday to denounce legislation that would toughen Spain's immigration policy. The protesters yelled through bullhorns and shouted slogans like "No human being is illegal!" in the rally against a bill that would make it harder for immigrants living in Spain to bring relatives over from home.
Under the bill presented by Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's Socialist government, foreigners caught entering the country illegally could be kept in holding centres for 60 days - up from the current 40 - while authorities process their expulsion. Parliament is expected to pass the bill by the end of the year, although possibly with amendments because the government lacks of a majority in the legislature.
