Arizona Law Fuels National Immigration Actions The Real News Network go to original May 03, 2010
Thousands hit U.S. streets on May Day to demand an end to the misery of the nation's undocumented
Since 2006, immigration reform activists in the United States have joined together on May Day, International Workers' Day, to demand recognition for the nation's more than 10 million undocumented immigrants. This year the events took on even greater urgency in response to a series of laws passed in Arizona that have set a new standard for the targeting of immigrant communities. The actions included a peaceful sit-down at the White House that saw 35 arrests, including active Democratic Congressman Luis Gutiérrez from Chicago. They are demanding comprehensive immigration reform that provides a path to citizenship for the millions living in the U.S. without documents today. They have committed to continuing civil disobedience, boycotting the state of Arizona, and staying home from the polls to punish Democrats who don't act now. Produced by Jesse Freeston.
