Several dozen people have been fired from jobs or otherwise penalized for participating in recent immigration protests. Some rally organizers are telling people not to risk their jobs or education to attend the demonstrations and are considering rescheduling protests to weekends and evenings. Jerry Gonzalez of the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials, which helped organize Monday's march in Atlanta, said, "The whole reason people are here is to work. We need to do (protests) responsibly."
