Viewpoint: Walk Out! 11:11 a.m.

Today a coalition of student groups have organized a walk out to support immigrants. We urge our readers to participate.

The debate on immigration legislation has somewhat stalled in the Senate for the next couple of weeks, but the House-approved legislation that makes felons of millions of America's lowest-income residents remains a reminder of the rhetoric of insignificance directed at immigrants.

Students must not sit silent, especially here in Texas.

We encourage everyone in the campus community to walk out at 11:11 a.m. and congregate near the Martin Luther King Jr. statue in the East Mall. Here is our chance to deliver a vocal message of support to immigrants who have been both neglected and humiliated in this debate.
