Students in Waxahachie protest

About 40 students from Waxahachie High School took to the streets Thursday morning to march to Waxahachie City Hall. The students were protesting recent talks in the House to "criminalize" helping illegal immigrants and the idea of putting up a wall along the U.S. border.
Several students I talked to were very passionate about the issue and said they had encouraged their friends not to walk-out of school unless they knew the issues and were truly concerned.
They also said they dissapointed by the recent behavior of other students in Dallas and Fort Worth, saying they felt many were ignorant and simply looking for an excuse to get out of school.
