Rosa was one of dozens of demonstrators taking part in a 24 hour vigil Friday night in support of immigration reform.
"We're all scared," said Rosa as she stood on the square in Painesville. "We don't know what's gonna happen to us. One of these days we could be walking down the street going to the store and get pulled over and they can deport us."
Rosa's mother was deported last year.
The demonstrators carried signs and waved American flags.
"They don't steal jobs," said demonstrator Camilo Villa. "They do pay taxes. They contribute to the economy. They contribute to society. They are the students in our schools, the workers in our fields. If we want them to participate fully in society, the best way to do it is to give them a path to citizenship so they can come out of the shadows."
Across the street another group of demonstrators stood silently holding signs against immigration reform.
"I'm all for immigration," said John Muzik of Painesville Township. "But we have laws, rules and procedures to do so and I ask that we follow them."

Tapeworm brain infection 'serious health concern'
Increasing in Mexico and bordering southwestern states
Illegal immigrants cross southwestern borders bringing more with them than just the hope for a job American citizens desperately need. Some bring serious diseases that are then spread to the American population at large. Is your family at risk?
An alarming increase in the numbers of tuberculosis and other diseases which we had previously eradicated from our nation, has long been a concern, and now an array of neurological diseases are on the rise, both in Mexico and in bordering southwestern states. Some of these diseases, such as tapeworm infections of the brain, can be spread by touch. If you live in an area, that you know is heavily overwhelmed with an influx of illegal immigrants from the border of Mexico, can you think of the contaminated objects you may daily touch and then touch your mouth? How about your children, at school?...
