Hundreds of Coachella Valley residents lined up in the streets Monday night. They gathered to protest the lack of immigration reform which is stalled out in the US Senate right now.

Supporters of local activist group Comite Latino lined several stretches of Highway 111.

Several hundred people gathered from Cathedral City to Mecca.

"We pay taxes, we pay everything, we're an honest people!" activists chanted last night. "We're not criminals! We're not criminals! We are working people! We love to stay in the United States!"

There is still much controversy surrounding the immigration compromise in the Senate. Some say that illegal immigrants should be deported and not given any form of amnesty.
