Haitians In Miami: `We Won't Go'  
"No, no we won't go; if we go we'll be back," more than 3,000 people chanted in Creole October 22 as they picketed the INS building in Miami. This was the second action of its size in a week demanding legal status for Haitian immigrants. Rally organizers said they will be sending a busload of activists to Washington D.C. to protest outside Congress. They are also considering picketing the offices of Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart, who drafted a law that gives residency to Nicaraguan, Guatemalan, and Salvadoran immigrants, excluding Haitians.
