Illegal Immigration Watch: May 1 Protest to “CLOSE DOWN” American Cities
Reuters: Immigrant boycott aims to “close” US cities
Pro-immigration activists say a nationwide boycott and marches planned for May 1 will flood Americas’s streets with millions of Latinos to demand amnesty for illegal immigrants and shake the ground under Congress as it tackles reform.
“There will be 2 to 3 million people hitting the streets in Los Angeles alone. We’re going to close down Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Tucson, Phoenix, Fresno,” said Jorge Rodriguez, a union official who helped organize earlier rallies credited with rattling Congress as it debates the issue.
“We want full amnesty, full legalization for anybody who is here (illegally),” Rodriguez said. “That is the message that is going to be played out across the country on May 1.”
Organizers of the May Day marches, which have strong support from big labor and the Roman Catholic church, vow that America’s major cities will grind to a halt and its economy will stagger as Latinos walk off their jobs and skip school.
BACKLASH TIME.
The Congress should remember who votes and finances their campaigns.
Border Security FIRST. NO Illegal alien AMNESTY.
Stay tuned…..
