MONICA LLOYD, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: We're glad to have you with us for another day of CNN Student News. I'm Monica Lloyd. Looking at the border: The president wants to overhaul immigration laws and says it's time to put together a comprehensive plan. Taking to the streets: Thousands of Iraqis protest against American forces on the fourth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad. And playing in the mud: Participants in Thailand's annual Pig Catching contest try their hand at bringing home the bacon.

First Up: Immigration Nation

LLOYD: First up, President Bush pushes for an overhaul on immigration. He was in Arizona Monday talking about it. Mister Bush tried to create a temporary guest worker program last year, but some in Congress opposed the idea. Now the president says it's time for a comprehensive immigration bill, including penalties for people who employ illegal immigrants and efforts to help new immigrants learn English. Tara Mergener has more on the president's plan.

TARA MERGENER, CNN REPORTER: Alongside a new border fence that wasn't there on his visit to Yuma 11 months ago, President Bush again made his case for major immigration reform.

PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH: This border should be open to trade and lawful immigration and shut down to criminals and drug dealers and terrorists.

MERGENER: Among the objectives of the president's plan are requirements that U.S. borders be secure, employers verify worker status and temporary workers be allowed to apply for "Y-visas," granting guest-worker status. Other provisions: Current illegal immigrants could pay fines and apply for "Z-visas" leading to legal status. And all immigrants would undergo English and civics training. Mr. Bush says those temporary worker programs are key.

BUSH: It'll help not only reduce the number of people coming across the border, but it'll do something about the inhumane treatment that these people are subjected to.

MERGENER: But the president's proposals have critics, many of them immigrants themselves. Thousands marched through downtown Los Angeles this weekend to protest Mr. Bush's plan because of how difficult it would make it for some to gain legal status. Last spring, the president was ironically getting more support from the opposition than from his fellow Republicans, who controlled Congress at the time. But just because Democrats are now in charge doesn't mean he'll have an easier time of it.

AUDREY SINGER, THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION: He's had a lot of support from the Democratic side, but this is not an issue that's easily split down the middle.

MERGENER: The Senate will take up the issue again in May. Reporting for CNN Student News, I'm Tara Mergener in Washington.

Is this Legit?

CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS: Is this legit? There are more than 10 million illegal immigrants estimated to be living in the U.S. This is true. The Pew Hispanic Center estimated in March of 2004 that there were 10.3 million illegal immigrants; today, the number may exceed 11 million.

LLOYD: Teachers, if you want to have your students learn more about immigration, we've got a Learning Activity that's right up your alley. Have your students research the history of immigration and the current debates surrounding it. Check it out at CNN.com/EDUCATION.

Shoutout

AZUZ: Time for the Shoutout! In what city did this event take place four years ago? If you think you know it, shout it out! Is it: A) Kabul, Afghanistan B) Baghdad, Iraq C) Tehran, Iran D) Najaf, Iraq? You've got three seconds -- GO! Baghdad was where U.S. troops pulled down the statue of Saddam Hussein on April 9th, 2003. That's your answer and that's your Shoutout!

Four Years Later

LLOYD: As you just saw there in the Shoutout, it was four years ago when that statue of Saddam Hussein was brought down in central Baghdad. The event marked the fall of Iraq's capital to the U.S.-led coalition. At the time, the White House called it an historic moment, as U.S. troops moved into the city and worked with a crowd of Iraqis to topple the larger-than-life image of the nation's longtime dictator. It might have been an historic moment four years ago, but on Monday, tens of thousands of Iraqis took to the streets protesting against American forces in their country. Frederik Pleitgen explains the reasons behind the demonstration.

FREDERIK PLEITGEN: "Occupiers get out," these protesters shout. Thousands took to the streets of Najaf carrying Iraqi flags, answering a call by radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al Sadr to protest the U.S. presence in the country. A massive show of political force on this fourth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad. Sadr is believed by American forces to be in hiding in Iran. His spokesperson talked to reporters.

NASIR RUBAI, SPOKESMAN FOR SADR (TRANSLATED): The enemy who has invaded our country is now targeting the dignity of the Iraqi people. After four years of occupation, we have hundreds of thousands killed and made into martyrs, the spokesperson says.

PLEITGEN: Sadr's followers blame the U.S. presence for the ongoing violence in Iraq and are calling on Iraqis to stop fighting and killing each other and to unite against American forces. While protesters burned U.S. flags in the streets, an American military spokesman said the demonstration was part of Iraqis' right to peacefully assemble and express their views. Iraqi police and military had stepped up security in Najaf, but the demonstration remained largely peaceful. In Baghdad, empty streets all day after the government announced a 24-hour vehicle curfew early this morning.

PLEITGEN: Four years ago, American forces rolled into the Iraqi capital, ending Saddam Hussein's decades-long rule over the country. Today. protests instead of celebrations, as one of the staunchest enemies of the American presence in Iraq showed his ability to mobilize the masses. Frederik Pleitgen, CNN, Baghdad.

Word to the Wise

Property and Piracy

LLOYD: When you're buying the latest DVD, you might head to Best Buy or Blockbuster. But some movie mavens are picking up flicks on the street corner, and they're probably paying a lot less than you did. That's because they're buying the DVDs in China, where movie piracy is a booming business. In fact, the U.S. is planning to file two cases with the World Trade Organization against China, hoping to stop the widespread theft of intellectual property. John Vause takes a closer look at the movie piracy business.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JOHN VAUSE, CNN REPORTER: You find them on Beijing's busy street corners -- the pirates of China.

VAUSE: Ok, what do you have?

MAN: Many.

VAUSE: Wow.

VAUSE: . . and in back rooms, selling the latest Hollywood blockbusters for a fraction of the retail price.

VAUSE: So how much for these?

MAN: 20

VAUSE: 20 each? That's 20 Yuan -- about $2.50 U.S. And it's not just lone sellers working from a suitcase. At this government-owned store, there's no shortage of choice. Well these are just some of the more recent releases which are available. There's Bobby, the diCaprio movie Blood Diamond, and over here Little Miss Sunshine, just to name a few -- all of these available for just a couple of bucks. Total cost for our DVD's:

VAUSE: 85? A little more than 10 U.S. dollars, cheaper than the guy in the back room. So for the cost of an average cinema ticket, or thereabouts, we ended up with seven DVD's most of them fairly new, or recent releases, all pretty good quality. And all totally legal here, because under Chinese law, prosecutors must show venders have made a profit of around 13,000 U.S. dollars from the pirated goods -- in most cases impossible to prove.

LIU BINJIE, CHINA COPYRIGHT ENFORCER (TRANSLATED): We can only warn them, and let them go. After that, they'll continue selling again, says the official in charge of enforcing China's copyright laws.

VAUSE: On state-run television, confiscated pirated DVDs, CDs and software are often shown being sent through the wood chipper or crushed by a steamroller, but prosecutions are rare which is why Hollywood -- and Washington -- want tougher laws and better enforcement.

MICHAEL ELLIS, MOTION PICTURE ASSOCIATION: The criminal thresholds to bring a criminal case are far too high, so people are not being prosecuted through a criminal process.

VAUSE: But for now, the pirates of China seem free to sell -- and in the process, costing U.S. business more than 2 billion dollars a year. John Vause, CNN, Beijing.

Before We Go

LLOYD: Before we go, a ham-fisted contest in Thailand. Football players may know a thing or two about handling the pigskin, but they don't have anything on these guys! This annual Pig Catching contest gives participants a chance to bring home the bacon... literally! Contestants have to soak their hands in cooking oil and then snag the slippery squealers in 20 seconds or less. If they can hang on, the hog gets to go home with them.

Goodbye

LLOYD: Another way for people to ham it up. That's it for today's CNN Student News. Thanks for watching. I'm Monica Lloyd.
