...English. President Obama addressed the crowd in a taped video message, but many demonstrators called for him to do more if he is to live up to his campaign promise to overhaul the immigration system. Speaking to the 10.8 million illegal immigrants nationwide and their confederates, Illinois Representative Luis Gutierrez said, "We've been patient long enough...
...testimony given at a Senate immigration hearing in July 2009, Illinois Representative Luis V. Gutierrez, who has led the drive for immigration reform in the House, pointed out that an error rate of just 1% would mean that more than 1.5 million people - roughly the population of Philadelphia - would be wrongly deemed ineligible for work.

For his part, Lezana insists the media "misinterpreted" his quote in an Associated Press article last week suggesting the WHO itself should have acted in a "more immediate" manner after Mexico informed it on April 16 that the flu strain that had killed Gutierrez seemed abnormal. "I wasn't claiming any delay on the WHO's part," Lezana tells TIME. What he was noting, he says, was that because the flu strain seemed atypical, there was a generalized fear among health officials "that we might not be able to learn its transmission characteristics fast...
