“Last week, on May 1, tens of thousands of people””citizens, legal residents, and undocumented alike””marched in about a dozen cities around the country for immigrant rights. Chicago, my former home town, had a reported 150,000 people marching last year, they were the first city to take this issue to the streets.

Los Angeles, which last year had around 650,000 to 1 million people in marches, this year didn’t have as many, although rally organizers say 100,000 people came out in two marches: one downtown through Broadway and another one to MacArthur Park.”
