On Monday, International Workers Day, protesters will fill the National Mall and the streets of cities elsewhere to protest what they call the federal government’s “deportation machinery” and to demand civil rights reserved for citizens be bestowed upon illegal immigrants.
The May Day protest by illegal aliens goes back to 2006 when “1.5 million people took to the streets across the country to demand immigration reform,” left-wing magazine The Nation reported on Friday.
Now, protesters aren’t asking for a pathway to citizenship.
“Today, no one, not even immigrants rights advocates, is calling for immigration reform anymore,” Nation contributor Julianne Hing wrote . “Immigrants and their allies are now defending civil rights like due process and values like democracy and inclusiveness.
“The policy agenda is no longer about winning citizenship or even legal status for the nation’s 11 million undocumented immigrants,” the article said. “It’s about defending families from separation.”
This year’s march will also include other protesters opposed to President Trump’s rule-of-law policies on immigration.
“With the Trump administration intensifying attacks on Native Americans, immigrants, refugees, trans individuals, Muslims, women, people of color in general, and the poor, a coalition led by immigrants and workers is aiming to mark this year’s May Day with the biggest workers strike in over a decade,” The Nation article said.

“It’s about defending families from separation.”
Ha Ha. It’s the old ‘do it for the children’ meme.
That chit don’t work no more.
Let them strike. I couldn’t care less.
That could be like netting trout at a fish hatchery........
Every illegal on strike, immediate deportation. Any firm employing illegals...closed down and prosecuted.
Any legal professionals aiding and abetting illegals beyond government allowed formats, disbarred and prosecuted.
I am sick and tired of being treated as a second-class individual in deference to criminal aliens.
No matter what they claim, any protestors that show up will be nothing more than the usual paid professional protestors mobilized through A.N.S.W.E.R. and other Soros funded insurgency outfits.
Yeah strike you leftist morons, show them that they don’t really need you anymore. Yeah that’s the ticket.
Mayday when all the leftist cock roaches come out from hiding to protest.
Deadwood—Cut ‘em all loose.
I spent two weeks living with Mexican families in Mexico. Dinner conversation was about paying bribes for jobs, free but horrible medical care, and the latest shootouts with gang members. You could easily make a list of things stopping Mexico from being a great, growing economy. One of the family members had paid a bribe to get a government job. The government owns the phone company, the electric company, the oil company and a few others. Those are the only jobs, apart from a few outliers, where you get adequate pay. The rest, apart from the plethora of dental offices and pharmacists that cater to foreigners, are subsistence jobs. The weevil in the center of the apple is a corrupt government and culture. By letting the people who are dissatisfied come to the US we take away the impetus to change the existing system. That is one reason why the Mexican government facilitates immigration to the US with pamphlets saying how to get here and how to stay here and explaining US law and how to thwart it. I say, send them all home with rifles and ammo.
Au contraire——libs LOVE that
Let me see...the illegals will strike, against the “folks” who illegally hired them? And then...and then....the “folks” will complain to Donald that they need their illegals to magically wanded and made into citizens, and Donlad will comply???
I agree - don't separate the families. Send the entire family back to wherever they came from before the squirted out their anchor babies.
Could someone explain to me what constitutional rights an illegal resident has? Their residency in the US, without permission, entitles them to one thing: deportation. Am I wrong?
Well, I guess they don't need that. Barack Sheik Obomba assured them that all they have to do to become citizens is to vote. And there are plenty of DemocRats who will help them do that.
Fire and/or deport. This is a gift.
Hey......don’t trash communism.......look at all the good they’re doing in Venezuela. (Sarc off)
I have never heard the situation explained this way. It is simple yet brilliant! If we make it easier for Mexicans to come here, there is no incentive to make their own homeland better. Wow...great points sir!
