Up to 2 Million March in National Day of Action for Immigrant Justice

As many as two million people took to the streets in more than 100 cities and

towns across the country on Monday to march for immigrants' rights. Undocumented

workers, legal immigrants, labor unions, immigrant rights advocates and their

supporters demonstrated in what was billed as the National Day of Action for

Immigrant Justice. In New York, more than one thousand demonstrators crossed the

Brooklyn Bridge and packed the streets in lower Manhattan for a rally near City

Hall. In Atlanta, as many as 80,000 people flooded the streets. In Phoenix, an

estimated 100,000 rallied at the Arizona Capitol. 25,000 marched in Madison,

Wisconsin. 10,000 in Boston. 8,000 in Omaha, Nebraska. The rallies Monday

followed a day of demonstrations in San Diego, Miami, Birmingham, Alabama, Utah,

Idaho and Iowa. A rally in Dallas drew half a million people, the largest

protest in the city's history. In Washington DC, hundreds of thousands streamed

past the White House to a rally on the National Mall. The demonstration took

place just yards from the Capitol, where Senators last week failed to reach

agreement on wide-ranging immigration reform that would allow the more than 11

million undocumented immigrants living in this country a chance to work here

legally and eventually become U.S. citizens. We'll spend the hour looking at the

growing immigrant rights movement after headlines.

 

A pox upon the media

And everything you read

They tell you your opinions

And they're very good indeed

I wanna destroy you
