Immigration Movement Struggles to Regain Momentum Built in Spring Marches
Tagged: protest“If it’s going to be a movement, it’s definitely struggling, not just for legs, but probably for air right now”
“For a moment, it sounded like one of the spirited crowds from this past spring. There, at the foot of the Capitol, flag-waving immigrants chanted and cheered and warned lawmakers in Congress to take notice.
“Legalization now!” they shouted. “Who are we? America!”
But this time, only a few thousand people protested, not the hundreds of thousands that organizers had expected at the rally here on Thursday. And similar scenes played out across the country last week as immigrant demonstrations drew much smaller crowds than anticipated in Los Angeles, Phoenix and Batavia, Ill.”
