Mary Richards reportingThe marches and rallies on both sides of the immigration debate are putting some strain on Utah kids.

Many kids have friends on the other side of the immigration debate. Chris Gibson says her children are seeing the tension at school.

Chris Gibson: "We've never stopped 'em from doing anything. They're friends with everybody and it's now really hard because of what we're starting to see is segregation amongst the children in the schools and it's really hard on the kids."

Gibson says her daughter has dozens of friends whose parents are here illegally, and she's afraid her friends will be deported. But Gibson says she took her daughter to the Pro-America rally because someone has to stand up for the law.
