‘May Day’ Marches to Take Over Downtown Sunday
By EGP News Report
EGP—Downtown Los Angeles streets will be filled with protesters, chants and drums in what has become an annual family-friendly pro-immigration reform march held on May 1st, internationally observed as a day to honor workers.
Southern California Immigration Coalition, comprised of over 50 organizations, will begin assembling for the march at 10am at Broadway and Olympic where an opening rally will be held.
At noon, activists and participants will head north on Broadway to 4th Street where another march will be held.
Activists will call on President Obama to stop deportations and provide “legalization or no reelection,” Celina Benitez of Southern California Immigration Coalition told EGP on Wednesday.
The groups will also protest in favor of the right to organize, legalization for all, and to oppose a guest-worker program, she said.

Will ICE be there to get the illegal aliens? I hope so. If they are in this country illegally, they have NO RIGHT to be here. Round them up, DEPORT THEM!
I’d like o see a march for an immigration moratorium by legal, loyal, taxpaying, voting citizens of this nation. Then we can proceed to abolish the 14th amendment since the invaders are NOT under US jurisdiction. Then we’ll make E-verifty mandatory for all businesses, immediately stop all benefits to illegal aliens and demand they leave. Eisenhower did it successfully. There is no use to try to convince they they are breaking our laws – they laugh at laws – and would continue to break them if ever given that glorious path to citzenship, which they want handed to them – no responsbilities – just the goodies Washington so freely hands out. 2012 will be different. We will elect someone who will not cater to invaders who never heard of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Just think what this country could be again – There would be no illegals to drive drunk and kill innocent people, no illegals committing crimes such as child molestaion or rape, no drain on our social and natural resources, no anchor babies to pay for, no jobs lost to illegals, no overcrowded classrooms or prisons, and the fact we could walk down our city streets and here the beautiful English language again. We’d save billions of dollars now spent on them from birth to death. And we’d have a country once again free of those who are destroying it.
Please Please bring and wave your ugly Mexican flags while irritating Americans once again!
Your stinking Mexican marches win us more Americans to our side!
And Americans in the area please take photos of the dumped American flags for show!
Americans will be waiting for that one!
