It’s that time of the year, folks.
The time when thousands of mostly-Hispanic defenders of immigrants’ rights will declare to non-Latino America how much they love and want to stay in the United States by marching around major cities bearing the flags of their homeland.
Yes, the time when the same people who will press you on the myriad ways immigrants thanklessly toil for this country, working endless hours in fields, restaurants, and factories, will skip work to parade through the streets en masse to call attention to their very existence.”*
