Latino Immigrants Feel May 1st Events Was a Success

“The large majority of Latino immigrants consider the events of this past May first, called the “Great American Stop” or “A Day Without an Immigrant”, which included an economic boycott, rallies and people not assisting work or school, a success, according to a survey released today by Garcia Research Associates.

This national study shows that 81% of the respondents feel that the various activities that immigrants participated in on May first were a success. This opinion is shared by all immigrant Latinos across geographic zones in the US, amongst Latinos of different ages and economic backgrounds. According to the US Census there are approximately 20 million Latino immigrants, thus 81% would be representative of 16.2 million Latino immigrants that feel the events were a success. “
