A feeble protest, but may be a harbinger of future opposition

The first group, to my knowledge, to publicly oppose the new UK immigration laws. British-based Indian Workers Association cries racism; oppose new laws on grounds of discrimination. Calls for a national campaign, but unlike the U.S., where Latino groups do already have a presence in the political system, this "campaign" seems very low-profile. For one thing, aside from this statement, there has been no greater physical action. Second, no sign of this in the British press; this is coming from the Times of India.
