WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Hundreds rallied Sunday outside the home of Karl Rove, President Bush's chief political adviser, urging legislation that would allow undocumented immigrants who graduate from high school to legalize their status and qualify for in-state college tuition.
...
"If President Bush wants our
vote, he has to give us the dream," said Emira Palacios, the group's co-chair.
....
Palacios said Rove agreed to meet with group leaders in his garage but then chastised them for protesting in front of his house and scaring his children.
"I told him that we have 65,000 students every year, graduating and crying because they cannot accomplish their dreams," Fonseca said.
"I'm sorry that we disturbed his children, but our children are being disturbed every day."

Much as I despise Rove, going to somebody's house to protest is taking it a little overboard IMO.
Edit - N/m I got the first impression from the news that they were purposely baiting his kids, which wasn't the case.
