WASHINGTON - Thousands of demonstrators protested moves to impose stricter U.S. immigration laws in California on Saturday, while President Bush urged wary Republicans to take up his proposal.

More than 10,000 immigrants and their supporters clogged the streets in front of Los Angeles city hall to protest a proposed law they see as punitive to undocumented workers.

“This bill is wrong because this is a country for everybody who wants to live a better life and
this is a free world,” said protester Lionel Vanegas, who owns an accouting firm.
