Thousands march in US May Day immigration protests

LOS ANGELES: Tens of thousands of protesters marched in a large-scale May Day rally in Los Angeles against a tough new immigration law in Arizona that has triggered a nationwide outcry.

Demonstrations were planned in more than 70 cities across the United States as Hispanic organizations mobilize to demand the repeal of the controversial Arizona legislation and wide-ranging federal immigration reform.

The biggest protest took place in Los Angeles, where city fire department officials estimated some 60,000 people were marching downtown, with celebrities such as Gloria Estefan addressing the crowd.

Organizers said they expect as many as 100,000 could turn out for the march. Around one million people marched for a similar rally in the city in 2006.

Protesters in Los Angeles were being encouraged to wave the Stars and Stripes rather than flags from their countries of origin, in an effort to emphasized their loyalty to the United States.

“I”ve been here since I was three,” said Jose Luis, a Los Angeles teenager wearing an American flag across his shoulders.
