Leaders with the March 10 Committee convened a meeting Saturday in Chicago of about 150 activists from around the country that settled on a more extreme position than many immigrant advocates and sympathetic lawmakers have supported.Gosh, that's got to be a kick in the teeth to those "American" politicians who supported foreign citizens marching in our streets: Gov.
