Organizers of an immigration rally in Garden City say they want to teach Hispanic and Latino communities that they have rights.

Kansas United Corp., a Wichita-based nonprofit group, says it expects about 3,000 people to attend Saturday’s rally.

Eva Barraza, a Kansas United board member, says the rally is in response to a law passed in Arizona, which requires police to ask people about their immigration status if there is a suspicion that they’re illegal immigrants.

Barraza said minority communities in southwest Kansas are already concerned that state lawmakers might consider implementing a similar law in the future.

The Garden City Telegramn reports that people from Dodge City, Scott City and several other southwest communities are expected to attend the rally.
